Japanese Seafood Special: The Revenge | Ashens

[@BloodrealmX]

"Fermented squid in putrefied viscera." So it's rotten squid in rotten gore. Yeah, that's real appetizing...

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

I know that food is something of a precious commodity in Japan thanks to shortages of workable farmland and all that but... Really, guys? "Putrefied viscera"? That's just taking the piss.

[@David-nd4to]

It's like there's a Japanese person sending him tins of pet food and getting him to continuously eat them and Stuart can't tell because the labels aren't in English. He just thinks it's disgusting local food.

As I sit here suffering over pages of cognitive revision, my only driving thought is that one day, if I work hard enough, I might to achieve my PHD in psychology and be qualified to ingest various jarred seafood products from the far east with little regard for my own life. You truly are an inspiration to future psychologists everywhere.

[@peterclarke7240]

I like to believe this was all a cunning psychological experiment that Ashens started to understand the depths to which humans will go to in their search for entertainment, and it all got a bit out-of-hand...

[@carroboi2981]

I'm not much for eating whole fish, but the wasabi fish looked genuinely appetizing, for whatever reason.

[@AgentTasmania]

I hate all forms of seafood and yet I agree.

[@Monroe-is1sz]

Fritts ShockTrooper Same here, it looks like something I would just buy and eat without really thinking about it. I imagine that them being dried probably removed the ick, and the wasabi/almonds mask any unpleasentries

[@dudef594]

Judging by your anime avatar, I'd say you find it appealing just because it's Japanese.

[@carroboi2981]

Except I prefer Chinese and hate Sushi, I find European culture easier to understand, and the majority of Anime is trash. I find them appetizing because they actually look actually good.

[@notthatadam]

Yeah, once you get over the eyes staring at you accusingly, it's pretty good. Designed to be consumed as a snack with beer.

[@TheDenssy]

One day someone in Japan got up early in the morning and thought: "Why not ferment raw squids in putrid viscera?" after that nothing really changed in the world, but at the same time nothing was ever the same.

Can the Japanese only communicate through cute animal shaped notes?

[@northumbriabushcraft1208]

Japan's way of communicating to westerners - Cute animal notes & subtitles Japan's exports to westerners - Cute animal things (like hello kitty) weird seafood, nice sweets & buns, martial arts, anime & degenerate forms of hentai. We certainly get the finest parts of their culture exported, for men of extremley fine tastes. As a man of culture myself i can't say no to some sake, hi-chews, ramune, mochi and anything with red bean flavour, or a trip to the Japanese style steakhouse or sushi-go-round and ofc some hentai with catgirls. Nyaa Nyaa ;) Only the finest of Japan's exports for myself :)

Ashens, I just tried a Chef Boyardee Mac & Cheese hot pot (I'm a student, so please don't judge me) and I seriously don't know what to say. The pasta tastes waterlogged and the cheese sauce is the most anemic, flavorless glop I've ever eaten. I can't get my money back, but if you try it, maybe I'll have some closure on the matter.

You have to eat the puffer itself to end up poisoned. The one in the sake was probably de-poisoned.

The alcohol would have dealt with any poison. The Asians also make wine with scorpions and snakes in them.

[@-snek.]

I think he's okay now.

[@aaronvega7493]

I may be wrong, but I think the puffer in the sake is supposed to contain a bit of the poison that makes fugu sashimi popular. If taken in the right amount, it's supposed to cause a numbing effect or whatever.
