That’s a little too intense for me!

No, but I’ve seen clam on the half shell curl slightly from lemon juice right before I’ve slurped them.

Never heard one scream, but had to get 3 sheets to the wind to get the first one down....it was tasty and caught that very morning in the Chesapeake bay. The oysterman sat in the back yard and shucked them for a party my niece’s after wedding reception party after the reception for about 50 people. They were really good, the juice in the shell was delicious...

Oh. I thought it was going to be a talent contest, like “America’s Next Great Cephalopod.”

That is NOT the way to play with your food.

I must be a Buddhist at heart, because I can’t stand the thought of cruelty to any creature on God’s earth. Sure, I’ll swat a fly, but I would never torture it or cause it to die a slow painful death. And yes, I know the squid was quickly killed by having its head removed, but how do we know the body is not still feeling the pain, or the head feeling phantom pain? People have really strange ideas about what they consider funny.

Wow. Knowing that it's still alive for a while in my stomach before it dies from the gastric juices would make me think of the movie "Alien".

It would make me think of the Sarlacc from Star Wars! I would never eat an alive animal -- it's wayy too cruel..

the most extreme are Jains who do not eat any animal products -- forget about meat, but no fish or eggs either. -- buddha got a lot of his ideas from Mahavira, who preceded him by 200 years, I think

“Hasn’t anyone ever heard a raw oyster scream “oh noooo!” when it slides down your throat? :)”

“When it comes to eating oysters, nothing is slicker, nothing is moister... ...That’s why I like my oysters fried, then I know my oyster’s died.” author unknown

I tried calamari..once. Didn’t like the texture, smell, taste.

Think I’ll pass on this ‘delight’.

I'm with you on that one. Some extreme criminals excluded.

Gross is beyond description

“a small live bird”

IIRC, that French delicacy is an “ortolan”, smaller than a sparrow, and eaten whole while one wears a napkin over one’s head. Not for this Yank, thanks.

Anyway, this thread kind of trumps all those jokes about rare steak (”cook just enough to get rid of the moo, then have to kind of chase it off the plate”). All kinds of raw moving food.

BTW, squeezing lemon juice over a shucked clam and seeing it move merely guarantees freshness. Not the same as those yukky Asian dancing whatevers.
