Quote:

Fugu (河豚 : ふぐ, Fugu?) is the Japanese word for pufferfish and is also a Japanese dish prepared from the meat of pufferfish (normally species of Takifugu, Lagocephalus, or Sphoeroides) or porcupinefish of the genus Diodon. Because pufferfish is lethally poisonous if prepared incorrectly, fugu has become one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japanese cuisine.

I cannot see her tonight.
I have to give her up
So I will eat fugu.

the myth is bigger than the whole thing
unless youre having a lunch in a terrible place, you shouldnt be worried

they just leave some bit of poison, just the enough for you to kiss the death

i wonder how one becomes a fugo chef

this a fugu restaurant, very interesting

The most dangerous part is the liver, which is regarded as the tastiest bit of the blowfish. If you’re lucky, the liver will contain only enough poison to numb the palette and raise the adrenaline. If you’re unlucky however, the liver will contain enough poison to kill you ten times over.

Cool! :thumbsup:

It is 1,250 times more poisonous than cyanide. You could survive several courses of Fugu with minimum trauma and live to tell of it. Or you could be writhing on a hospital bed with convulsions, looking forward to spreading paralysis and total respiratory failure in 6 to 24 hours.

The Fugu chef also frowns upon bad table manners - such as insisting that somebody else tastes the fish first, smoking during the meal (which obscures the delicate flavours of the fish) or feigning a seizure to entertain your friends.

I've heard it tastes rather bland and the thrill-seeking is the only real benefit.
