That escalated quickly.

Iron Chef should've had an Iron Hand.

Did the patron at least enjoy the meal?

Screaming from the kitchen is a real buzzkill

Freakin’ poetic.

Kinda hard to fault the snake.

This is not funny. Cobra is actually a very nutritious and tasty meal and the chef did not deserve to die like that. I am hoping that this tragedy does not deter other chefs from preparing cobra dishes.

I hope they clean the cutting boards well.

If only GI Joe could’ve prevented this Cobra attack...

I'm kinda surprised that basic safety precautions weren't followed, such as having an antidote on hand and crushing the snake's head, instead of just chopping it off, and letting it flop around. That's what folks do with diamondbacks and copperheads stateside, and they're nowhere near as dangerous as any flavor of cobra, let alone the hyper-venomous spitting cobra.

And I thought my homemade chili had a bite. I stand corrected.

So what? I didn't see it, and I'll bet a lot of others didn't either. Unless you've got your eyes glued to FR 16 hours a day, you're going to miss some interesting things.

I could understand if the same article was posted a dozen times in the same day, but I've never understood why some Freeps get so bent out of shape over some item of interest being posted more than once on the forum.

[Steelfish]

Apologies. I was unaware to it.

[Chainmail]

Actually, it is funny - from the Spitting Cobra’s point of view.

Just exactly which culinary academy recommends decapitating a poisonous snake and then keeping the head nearby for easy access?
