I have it multiple times. Its not bad at all. Even though it's a bit discomforting to see you food crawl off your plate onto the table. You'll get over it.

Now having a live LOBSTER on your table sucks. Especially when you see that its bottom half is missing, and it's foaming at the mouth.

Wouldn't surprise me, many people in that area of the globe are absolutely obsessed with it. They think nothing of making species extinct so they can eat its penis and feel better about their 3" :(

Tako yum.

Eating animals in america is done very conservatively in presentation, unfortunately the delivery is often worse than other places.

Seriously man, I would not throw that out if you are american.

I am one, my wife is Japanese and we have many friends that are not native here. Unfortunately many times it's america that's the most barbaric and devastating. :(

I am Korean and I have never tried that. My mom can't eat that either, she finds it disgusting. My father however, have tried it with shots of soju.

The guy in Old Boy, he never tried it before the movie either. It was in the making of. Looks like an interesting experience, but I don't know if I can handle it.

Considering that octopuses and squid are as intelligent as mammals, maybe even the more intelligent mammals, eating a whole live one like in Oldboy is pretty cruel.
