Last night my friend and I
dined on puffer fish
today I attend his funeral

Taste of puffer fish
Tingling feeling up my body
Kiss your azz goodbye

Are you sure you don’t mean “Pufferfish man toxin allegedly suspect sought hit”?

Huh...must have read The Serpent and The Rainbow too many times...

I was once taken to a unique restaurant in Nagoya, Japan — which served Puffer Fish (Fugu Fish) sashimi....

It must be a novelty dish, because it really didn’t taste that great...

At the restaurant, we were told the story of a famous Japanese actor - who hosted a dinner for friends.
At the end of dinner - he ordered the poisonous organ be brought to the table.
He snatched it off the display tray and ate it...
Died shortly thereafter in front of his friends....

Never could confirm if the story was true, or just a myth told to Henna Gaijin.
