ReplyDeleteDid you see the sad look in the eyes of that squid? Horrible.
ReplyDeleteYep. I'd agree that in terms of a culinary experience, watching an animal apparently suffering horrifically (even if it is actually stone dead) isn't high on my list of priorities.

At least they don't eat dogs. At least, that's what I saw on Youtube, although the interviewee didn't seem convinced.
ReplyDeleteI love the Japanese, but I pass on their food. Apart from sashimi, sushi and noodles, it's notverygoodatall. It might even elevate Blighty's cuisine in the World rankings. Isn't there an infographic on that somewhere?
