Thread: Sushi aficionados. Would you eat fugu?

    Default Sushi aficionados. Would you eat fugu?

    "Fugu: Poisonous Japanese blowfish. It's the most delicate and sensual of all sushi plates. Your lips and tongue literally tingle while you eat it...."

    There's only one place in town here that serves it. I mentioned this plan to someone last night, and she seemed game. (We concluded it is probably safe, as customers falling over dead at their tables wouldn't be good for business.)

    So, would you partake? And if you've had fugu in the past and are alive to tell the tale, what was it like?

    I haven't had it, but K has. He says it doesn't taste very good and the thrill factor is the only reason to eat it. He'd rather have a good yellowfin or ahi sashimi any day.

    I'd try it, but my heart belongs to unagi.

    Yeah, I figured that. It's probably very expensive, too.

    Hoping there's enough pent-up demand among us local folks to make an outing for fugu! I'm willing to risk it. Who's with me?

    Nope, it's expensive...and from what I've been told it's not all that yummy. If I'mk going to spend extra at the sushi bar, i'd rather spend the dollars on otoro or sake toro...mmm.

    Yeah, I'd try it. But not at the sushi place here in town that serves tacos.

    But as long as it's a good sushi restaurant and not disgustingly expensive, I'd do it.

    ^^^^MMmmmmmmmmm Octopus!! My absolute favorite! I also love any variation of squid. Anything with tentacles in a maranade and I'm a puddle on the floor.

    But would I try fugu?? Yeah maybe...if you took a bite first!

    I guess I'd try it. I've never heard of it before. I figure if they sell it they wouldn't risk a huge lawsuit if I die from it. I wouldn't try it from a shitty sushi place though. I just looked on the menu I have from the sushi place I go most often and they don't seem to have it.

    F*ck yeah I've been dying to try it for years! *Pun not intended* I looked for it in Thailand (since NOTHING is illegal to eat there), but no such luck. I did try king cobra though... delicious!

    Just found out one has to special order this item a few days ahead. Sounds more and more exotic. Thursday nights are supposedly the best at this place--so that's what I'm shooting for.
