Would you eat Sannakji?

-------------------------------

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sannakji

Sannakji or sannakji hoe is a variety of hoe, or raw dish, in Korean cuisine. It consists of live nakji (hangul: 낙지, a small octopus) that has been cut into small pieces and served immediately, usually lightly seasoned with sesame and sesame oil. The nakji pieces are usually still squirming on the plate. It can also be served whole.

Because the suction cups on the arm pieces are still active when the dish is served, special care ought to be taken when eating sannakji. The active suction cups can cause swallowed pieces of arm to stick to the mouth or throat. This can also present a choking hazard for some people, particularly if they are intoxicated. One must thoroughly chew so that no piece is big enough to stick to one's throat. Some people like the feel of the pieces wriggling as swallowed, and so will not completely chew up the particles. Those who are new to eating sannakji should completely chew it up into tiny particles before swallowing.

No thank you.

I would.

Then you should put your vote where your mouth is. Nobody has voted 'yes' yet.

Until I read the description I was of the opinion that I would try almost anything once. This dish does not appear to be anything I would be interested in.

I'd try it. If I didn't like it I wouldn't feel compelled to try it again, though. I impress my dates with different kinds of tentacle.
