I would say that the Japanese delicacy Fugu is one of the most ridiculous things to eat.
If you want to risk death eating dinner I say eat in a bad neighborhood.
Fugu? Is that puffer fish?
I prefer my field mice in a rich nut-brown ragu.
Don't get me going on puffer fish. I think back to Willow, trapped in the stream.
Fugu is the puffer fish that if not prepared correctly can kill you.
Quote:Fugu (blow fish) is a fish which contains deadly poison in the organs. Despite the risk, fugu dishes remain as special feasts in Japan. Even the milt is considered as a great delicacy. Fugu is referred to as blow/globe/puffer fish since it blows its body up. The kanji (Chinese characters) used to write fugu indicates "river pig." In western Japan, fugu is called "fuku," which means "to blow" or "happiness." It's reported that about 40 kinds of blow fish are caught and cultured in Japan and that 10000 tons of blow fish are consumed each year. Shimonoseki-city in Yamaguchi, is known as fugu city and supplies a large amount of fugu.
There is an interesting bit of info in that.
Yah, I know about fugu, and eschew it, thank you.
