WEIRD!!! KOREANS EATING LIVE OCTOPUS

In as much as I love trying out foreign delicacies all over the world,
there's one I certainly wouldn't try and that's "Live octopus"(sannakji)
Seriously eating live frog was weird but OCTOPUS OMG!!!


Sannakji or sannakji hoe is a variety of hoe, or
raw dish, in Korean cuisine.


It consists of live
nakji ( a small octopus ) that has
been cut into small pieces and served
immediately, usually lightly seasoned with
sesame and sesame oil .


The octopus"s pieces are
usually still squirming on the plate. While small ones can also be
served whole...

Because the suction cups on the arm pieces
are still active when the dish is served,

Special care is been taken when eating sannakji.


The active suction cups can cause swallowed
pieces of arm to stick to the mouth or throat.


This can also present a choking hazard for
some people, particularly if they are
intoxicated.....




Obviously there have been reported cases of deaths through choking
from this particular weird delicacy!
So if you are so keen on trying it out, BRAVO! but think twice!!
