Weirdest food experience of my life?


who: me, Martin, Kara
what: "sannakji," or live baby octopus
where: Noryangjin Fish Market, Seoul, Korea
when: last Sunday afternoon
why: because one must not pass up the opportunity to sample such a wonderful local delicacy


Yes. It was still moving as we ate it and its tentacles did suction onto our teeth and tongues.
No. It did not object nor scream as it was being cut up into small, bite-sized pieces.
Yes. It was a once in a lifetime occurance for me, but I cannot speak for the others.
No. It did not taste horrible, in fact, it made up for its lack of flavor in chewiness.
