Just so long as they don't put dancing rice on the menu to replace the shrimp.

Belonging to PETA should be a death penalty!

My personal line is vertebrate (yes/no). I have and do eat some invertebrates live (oysters, shrimp, cuttlefish, mussels). But I will not eat any vertebrate that is still alive. Possible exception for one like Rihanna, but that's different.

I better not mention a Chinese delicacy called drunken shrimp, where live shrimp is doused with cooking wine in a glass bowl before it is cooked with a burner below the bowl. And they do it at the table, too.

People eat those things live? Im no PETA nut, but I dont believe any animal should be made to suffer. Kill it fast then cook it and eat it.

I use Tabasco(tm) sauce on the live oysters I eat. It's not about torture. Torture is for something that is advanced enough to have a spine.

Just to enrage PETA and render them impotent at the same time we could bring back animal sacrifice as a religious ritual.(Some religions do so today-just imagine a “Diverse” religion practicing animal sacrifice, PETA members would go mad!)

then cook it and eat it.I guess I should have sent the tuna tar-tar back because it was raw? NOT! The dish with the 3 sauces (heavenly) was a special gift from the chef, for who I had been a slave, back during my internship. It was great.
You eat your food the way you like it, I'll eat mine the way I like it.

In Singapore they have a dish called "Drunken Shrimp". I was in the serving room early before a banquet and heard this flipping sound in the room, finally tracked it down to a chafing dish half full of shrimp thoroughly enjoying a long swim in some fine white wine. Later, they pop them into a wok at the table, stir 'em up and serve them. So this sounds cruel until you know the reason ... enjoying their wine bath, they are also replacing that nasty streak down their backs with marinade. So they are not only well-seasoned, but nice and clean when they hit the plate.
Wonder if these people ever saw a lobster get cooked in Boston? I guess you should go shoot the lobster first with a 357 ... uh, no wait, no guns there? Well maybe just stomp on them before putting them into the hot water? Where does sanity end and insanity begin for these people?

Unless there’s some legitimate culinary reason for it you kind of have to wonder what’s going on in the head of someone who wants their food to writhe. Kind of like pulling the wings off of flies.
To: JRandomFreeper
Apparently the creatures have nerves, if not spines, so it’s still torture. I see no point in making my food suffer more than it already has to, but that’s my food, not yours. If they could scream, I suspect there would be a significant decrease in such dining techniques.

Unless theres some legitimate culinary reason for it you kind of have to wonderDeath is a drawn out process (except in the case of nukes), not a single event. As cells die from lack of O2, enzymes are released that change the flavor and texture of the cells.
In beef, given a few months to age at the correct temperature, that's some fine eating.
Some seafood is best eaten alive to achieve maximum potential good taste. Same with insects generally. I would much rather eat a live cricket than one of the canned ones.
Fish eat fish alive and raw. And I doubt they think of torture when they do it.

What the hell are you talking about. They are shrimp? I fish with live shrimp every weekend and don’t think twice about putting a hook anywhere through their body.
