tentacles suck

One of my students was telling me about all the different kinds of seafood she's eaten: the usuals like squid, and shrimp, along with things like jellyfish, sea cucumber etc. I thought I had her beat because I had eaten all the above, as well as shark, which she had never tried. But alas, she topped me. She soared passed me and I have no desire to try to catch up. She described to me a kind of seafood that looks a bit like a squid, but only with 3 legs and about the size of your hand. It's a Korean dish where they eat the thing raw and alive, still kicking. She said you cut it up but the tentacles still wiggle around, I guess a bit like chopping an earthworm in half. And as if it's not gross enough to eat squirming squid legs, apparently the little suckers grab hold and stick to the inside of your mouth! Ugh barf gag!!! I don't think I've heard of anything more unappetizing. I'd take silkworm over that anyday!

 

Here is one talented artist's rendition of the fearsome squid-like creature.

hi manders! thought i would come by and say hi. i was just watching my csi season 5 dvds obtained from china of course, and naturally i thought of you! sounds like class is just as much fun as ever, except for maybe the seafood? a little disturbing? of course my 11 year old likes to suck the juice from everyone\'s lobster antenaes, i think for shock value. :Scheers, michy
