A Lively Meal

One of our Korean friends will be moving to Canada this week. Before she left, she wanted to make sure that we had tried live octopus. It's not actually alive. The tentacles have been chopped off and are still pretty lively, much like a snake still squirms after it's been killed. You'll see in the video that we had quite a time picking up a bite to eat because their suction cups would stick to the plate! We thought eating with chopsticks was a chore! Eating squirmy food that sticks to the plate with chopsticks is a whole different story.



We had fun eating it, but we didn't find it too tasty. We've discovered that that is not really the most important part of a meal while traveling...sometimes even the food is just about the experience and adventure!

The stuff y'all eat looks like it should be on Fear Factor. And the guy sitting next to you looks like he is going to gag every time he takes a bite. It's hilarious!

Hmmmm..... Being I love food, I'd like to think I'd try the stuff. BUT.... I just don't know. "Squirmy" has never been in my dining dictionary :)

That's a new take on "food-on-the-go".
