"Mama look! The Tentacoo's are waving at me!"

Behold the live tentacoo buffet!

That so doesn't look like chicken...but I'd still be willing to try it.

Anyway, can someone explain just how they are still wriggling? They must have just been brought off the boat, since I don't think there are many Zombie Squid and Octopi running around masturbating...(Of course I'm not Qwerki. I can't confirm this.)

personally, i prefer food that's good and dead when it's served to me.

it may be just me, though.

I'd eat it. Klingon style.

MURAHAHAH! now the ball is in squiddy's court!

Ok, I've kept an octopus arm alive for 3 weeks in vitro provided I was able to keep the neural substation attached to the main nerve bundle in the arm. Without the substation, I got the arm to live for a week.

Here's the food related part. Provided the arms stay in a solution that approximates sea water, and you keep them cold, they will still display autonomic response out to 30 hours or so. If that resturant is anywhere near the coast, they could easily buy live octopuses, keep them in a salt tank, and chop the arms off when needed.. or, chop the arms off and keep them on ice.

Now, if you watched the video, you noticed the guy started freaking out and pulling something off the roof of his mouth. Octopus suckers are tenacious, and if you are swallowing a piece and it sticks to the wrong place in your throat, you're probably gonna choke.

In Korea, they love eating live octopus, and there are a couple of deaths a year as the octopuses fight back while being swallowed. Personally, I root for the octopus.

Fresh fruits and vegetables aside, it's not just you. Live food ... ugh ... One of the worst horror stories I ever heard was an oriental way of preparing a live fish which was then served live and eaten alive at the table. *hork*

This easily qualifies as the oddest hobby I've ever seen...

It was all done in the name of science, using controlled lab conditions, under a grant. Typically we call it research, but I'm also not an actual research biologist, so I guess 'hobby' fits.

It can't possibly, be a hobby, someone else was paying for it...

How? The poor thing was possibly still twitching and flopping on the plate when the customer cut into it.

No. Sad to say, this happened to a real fish in a real restaurant.

just because its trying to get a stanglehold on you as you try and eat it does not change how its going to taste on the pallet and livens up what could of been a rather boring repast.

I'm not talking about a giant squid tentacle, but some poor, stupid fish. One of a size to fit on a plate. -_-; Horrible ... just ... horrible ... *goes into a corner to be sick again*

My motto for food is "Dead animals. Live vegetables."

Tearing chunks off a living animal and eating it is just fucking disgusting.

just remember we tend to digest raw meat better than cooked meat. And personally I dont see a problem if I have my sashimi preped in front of me or behind the counter. I look at it as involvement in my resturant experiance
