Sannakji (Moving Octopuses)

                                                                Moving Octopus 

    Sannakji is one of a special delicacy in Korean. Sannakji is octopus, nakji means small actopus. It usually serves in a small bowl with sesame oil eaten while its still moving. its still moving even after they choped it into a hundred pieces. It beacuse of the nerves activity is made the tentacles moving.

   Many of you guys would have this kind of question in your head.... how to eat them? all those baby octopuses? This is the right way to eat all of them.. you need to cewing it really fast cause you would not like the octopus to latch into your throats and choke it. They can kill you if u not eat them right. Perhaps, you can it them with sesame oil. 



WITH SESAME OIL 


   What does it taste? most of the feedback said they taste really good but it is kinda scary to eat all of them will it still moving. You will find this dish at Bunsan in Korea. After i done my review this dish is quite hard to eat cause it is sticky and it will stuck where ever you put it . If you go to the reastaurant that provide this kind of manu you can asked them put serve it with garlic and onion.

   My opinion for this dish is, if you want to eat just to gain some experinces, you are allowed to, but make sure you it them right. if not..... you will die on the spot just right after you ate them. Make a right decision before you decide to eat. 

  So here i leave yoou guys with a video of a woman eating octopuses on youtube. So you guys can click on the link below. Hope you enjoy it !!

HAGGIS

These days there are some superb places to eat exotic food in scotland . So , haggis is one of the exotic food of scotland to write visiting and is celerated on burns night every 25th of January . Known to be a rational dish in Scotland . Haggisis a flavourful pudding mode of sheep's pluck , which is an aderable eupremen for the liver , heart and lungs . Then they missed with outmeal ,svet , onion , salt , spices  and stock , an in the sheep's stomach . Haggis is the served with mashed potatoes ( tatties) and swede or tornip neeps after hows of swimmering.


People in Scotland and people who travel to this country love to eat Hoggis because they said the meats are not the main ungredient in haggis , the oats are what binds it together and it is a heavily specied dish . So the beat they can said is haggis tastes like a spicy oatmeal.

The Kobe Beef


KOBE BEEF

Kobe beef - kobe bifu? (KO-BEH) refers to beef from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle, raised in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture according to rules as set out by the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association. 

The meat is a delicacy renowned for its flavour, tenderness, and fatty, well - marbled texture. Kobe beef can be prepared as Steak, Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu, Sashimi and Teppanyaki.



All the myths about cows getting massages and drinking bear while listening to classical music are just that myths, but nonetheless real Kobe beef is produced under some of the world's strictest legal food standards, whereas ''domestic kobe'' beef production, along with that in Australia and South America, is as regulated as the Wild West. 

In Japan, to be Kobe requires a pure linegage of Tajima - Gyu breed cattle (not any old Japanese breed crossbred with American cattle as is the norm here). The animal must also have been born in Hyogo prefecture and thus raised on the local grasses and water and terrior its entire life.


It must be a bull or virgin cow, and it takes considederably longer to raise a Tajima - Gyu foe consumption than most other breed , adding to the cost.

Think you're tasted the famous Japanese Kobe beef? Of course, there are a small number of you out there who have tried it - I did, in Tokyo and its is delicious. If you ever go to Japan I heartily recommend you splurge, because while it is expensive, it is unique, and you cannot get it in the United States. Not as steaks, not as burgers, certainly not as the ubiquitous ''Kobe Sliders'' at your trendy neighborhood '' bistro.


This world famous in Japanese delicacy is a definite must - try...! A portion of this fancy plate can cost up to $300,00. Kobe beef is made from Tajima cattle, raised in very strict and meticulos conditions in the Hyogo prefecture in Japan. The sophisticated lifestyles of these animals includes a diet of apples and beer, regular massage as well as sake - infused brushing sessions. All of this care result in an incomparable buttery and tender meat .

Monkey's Brain


A CUTE MONKEY 



MONKEY BRAIN

Monkey is well known in Asian country such as Malaysia, Thailand etc. Monkey brain is attributed to china, also eaten in Africa and many other countries. However this dish was banned in china because people find it inhumane when this dish is eaten while the monkey is still alive.

Different culture sometimes made some of human believe in the important of eating this dish. Some of them said it may bring luck, some said it gives you vitality and many other beliefs.

This cuisine is such a very expansive and only affordable for rich people. These people sometimes ordered this dish just to prove their richness and bravery, even they can not sallow a single bite of it.

For my opinion this dish is no way a tradition cuisine. Monkeys usually located in many Asia country, yet the Monkey brains is never been on any menu in any local store, legally or illegally. I bet they are prohibited though. If i be you, i would never eat this dish because the monkey look very cute!

Many of you did not know how was this dish been prepared for customer right? so, each monkey was alive in a small wooden box with it's shaved head sticking out. Each of the customer received a hammer, knife, and a large spoon. the hammer used to knock the monkey until the monkey die. The knife is used to cut the monkey brain and the spoon is used to take the brain out from the monkey's head.

Why u should not eat this dish is because it is kinda risky for your health. It is high of fat, it also can cause creutzfeldt-zakod disease and other prion disease in human.

what does it taste like? it taste a bit mushy and too salty. As you guys know that high of salt can cause high blood pressure. 

So i leave you guys with this link below. You guys can check on to see how this dish was done. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

The zebra tarantula has a nasty bite , so be sure not to get too close to the bucket unless you want to have a close encounter of the hairy , scary kind !





The taste has been described as bland, "rather like a cross between chicken and cod (genus gadus)", with a contrast in texture from a crispy exterior to a soft center. the legs contain little flesh, while the head and body have a delicate white meat inside'' .

Live Cobra's Heart

COBRA 

LIVE COBRA'S HEART


Cobra means poisonous snake that can spread out the skin at the back of its snake . Cobras live in India and Africa .

Live Cobra Heart is not a common thing to eat but some in Vietnam do it. ''Many young tourists come to Vietnam and think that this kind of activity is part of Vietnamese culture'' . Said Nguyen Tam Thank of Animal Asia in a statement . This is not part of modern Vietnam and the fact that it survives at all is largely down the tourist trade''




The Vietnamese eat live cobra's heart raw and uncooked . To prepare this dish they will wash the cobra's heart with the cobra's blood . People who eat this dish think that they will endure the powers and strenght of the cobra and so , they don't even clean it , just swallow it whole , while it is still beating . This dish is definitely not far the faint- heated .

Cobra Heart is edible but the blood is vicious . In addition , drinking snake blood , eating its heart is the trendy thing to do far western tourists in  Vietnam . Animal Asia is now running a campaign against it , calling it ''barbaric'' .




Those who follow the teaching of Islam are not allowed to eat cobra heart because it is not halal . Practising Muslim can not eat any animals which eat other animals , such as these reptiles . Prohibited for Muslim yet it is allowed for other religion . 

Some people might like to give a try some adventures food . We recommend you guy to try live cobra heart . It might sound a little bit weird but just to gain some more experience of eating it . Why not ? who knows you guys might fall for its if you guys come to Asia country try to find some . Good luck and have fun !

Eating Frog's Legs



FROGS IN A RESTAURANT


                  It happened when monks assert themselves grown too fat , church jurisdiction suggest them not to eat meat on a certain day a year . The monks said frog didn't qualified as a fish and it is didn't count as a meat . A national delicacy was born when hungry French peasants followed the monks example .

                   These cuisine also eaten in other part of the world such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia etc. Based on my review, most of people love eating frog's legs because it tastes good. Some of them said it tastes like fish and chicken. Meanwhile, the texture of the meat is mild. It can be cooked in variety of methods such as deep fried, steam, grilled and etc.



              Indonesia constitute the world's largest exporter and consumer of frog's legs. Many of you did not know that a frog's leg contain high of protein, and only have 0.3 grams of fats compared to 3 grams of grilled chicken breast. they also rich of source of omega-3, fatty acid, potassium and vitamin A which is good for our health. 

              The Chinese believe, if you are eating frog's legs while pregnancy will make babies develop strong legs. They also believe that the frog's legs consider as good luck.

            Lastly, frog is the little green thing that eats disease-caring mosquitoes and water-consuming algae. Their skin secretions have been proven to combat some viruses. However, the festival and  tradition of eating frog's legs must be stopped. FL have a frog eating festival each year. The festival is responsible for the death of 80,000 of frogs each year. Thus, we need frogs and frogs need their legs to stay alive. Together we stand to help the frog!




STOP EATING FROG'S LEGS!!
