Yummy!
A seafood bowl in Hokkaido, Japan contains salmon roe, seaweed, some other things, AND A DANCING SQUID!
The creature isn't hoping his perforce is so moving you'll show him mercy. This dancer is dead!
When you pour soy sauce on the dead squid, the muscles contract in response to signals from neurons, which transmit signals around the body by means of a series of sequential influxes of sodium across the cell membrane into the neuron.
Doesn't that sound delish?
Nope, it’s squid............
Octopus.
It’s called ‘Odori-Don’ which means ‘Dancing Squid Rice Bowl’
Odori Don is a hakodate dish where a squid’s head is removed and its legs are served nearly fresh. So fresh that adding soy sauce to the squid causes its legs to dance, even with its brain detached. That’s right–this squid dances without its brain.
I also tried several Japanese "delicacies" that I saw for the first time watching Star Trek. The thing they stuck in Chekov's ear to control his mind in the "Wrath of Khan." Yeah, I ate one of those raw. It didn't taste very good. Remember the flat looking thing that attached itself to Spock's back in the original series? That tasted better and, as a bonus, it was cooked.
And.......
bump for later
