wondering wheter if one is even capable to eat real raw octo ?! thought it must be cooked so u can even chew it – and i haven´t been to a japanese restaurant where they served it really raw… (unfortunately – as it seems it does work ;-)

Are those the same worms that they use for hot dogs? A friend of my phil friend worked at a hot dog factory and said that they use worms instead of beef or chicken or whatever! Is this true?

Raw octopus tentacle sashimi is particularly appreciated in Korea where surgical intervention is sometimes required when the live sucker attaches itself to the diner’s esophagus.

I have yet to try a sweet tasting octopus. It only feels gummy and plain to me.

Tamilok tastes like oysters… coated in mucus! haha… They do taste like the sea but are really hard to chew, what more swallow.

If you want to prepare one, you’ll need a nice big piece of daikon….

… to hit it with. :)

Though I think something was lost in the translation. The video says “banana bark” but I think it’s konbu/kombu kelp. To impart that salty/umami flavor of the sea.
