We now have one of those blowfish in the white house. That really is a danger to all of us.

What is the appeal here, do they really taste that good? It probably has more to do with some people wanting to do something that is dangerous, or that at least is perceived to be dangerous, so they can brag about it. Kind of like running with the bulls in Pamplona.

Raw fish and warm rice wine, the Japanese laugh themselves silly over our stupidity for paying for it. You left out stewed weeds...

Oh, sure, get kids hooked on eating beating hearts and the next thing you know, they’ll be building pyramids and marching war captives up there to get their beating hearts cut out at eaten. I bet that’s how the Aztecs started out. “Hey, Xoxocticoatl, I dare you to eat this beating fish heart...”

I’m usually pretty adventurous with food, but I draw the line at neurotoxins. If I want something expensive that slurs my words and makes me fall down, I’ll order a bottle of single-malt scotch.
