When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

This is truly a great review of a food I don't care for. But it was a lot of fun to read! Keep up the good work.

Very exotic. I haven't tried that and I don't want to try it. I am not that adventurous to try exotic foods like that. I will just live it to others.

I've tried the live squiggling octopus dish. I'm a vegetarian - no, really I am; I was veeerrry drunk that night, though. I have to say that I had a sense of achievement at having risen to the challenge, but the next day when I sobered up and it dawned on me that the octopus (which is a very intelligent, fascinating animal with what is obviously a very complex and developed nervous system

Dear Eddie,<BR/>You are a brave, brave man! and you write really well. your blog was totally addictive... I dont know how I chanced upon it, but I did and I'm glad.

Your blog really made me laugh, the tentacles video was awesome!! <BR/>take care, will visit you more

I just went to The Prince with high hopes of obtaining the moving tentacles. We were given odd looks and told that they don't serve that dish. It wasn't clear if they didn't want to serve it to non-Koreans or if they actually no longer serve the dish. <BR/><BR/>I had the sea snail dish, which was AMAZING, and the chicken gizzard dish which was very good as well. <BR/><BR/>(Sadly, for our

Is there any place in Chicago that serves live octopus tentacles? I want to try it. I also want to try Fugu.

I've eating live octopus tentacles before! I'd eat them again if I had the chance.<BR/><BR/>But indeed, they do tend to put up some resistance as you chew.

Obviously there are issues in eating meat full stop, as well as how animals reared for meat are kept and live until death. However only an idiot cannot see the difference between an animal that is dead and one that is alive. I have done some research and it seems that Octopi are in fact highly intelligent, the most intelligent invertibrates in fact. In some countries medical experimentation on

Go †o hell (and you will). You are not funny. You are the worst kind of carnivore--you don't do it for sustenance, you do it for laughs and applauds. I hope a wild dog catches you and rips you apart while you scream and die.

Alas and alack, woe is me! After reading this magnificent post last week, I was feverish to try this. I just returned from the Prince and it appears that they no longer serve this dish. It's not written in Hangul anywhere on the menu, and we asked (in Korean) about it, only to be told that the raw octopus with spicy sauce was the only cephalopod option. Let the teeth-gnashing and

I just came here through a comment on Pim's blog and I don't say this often but...OMG! I didn't know whether to laugh at your description of eating that tentacle, gasp in terror or squirm in discomfort at the thought!

Anony,<BR/><BR/>Thanks. Yes, I've heard of the film but have yet to see it. Others have mentioned the scene to me and have seen the slight similarity between my experience and that movie's scene. Slight similarity.

There's a famous (and very good) Korean film called "Old Boy" that has a terrific live tentacle eating scene. It's readily available on DVD.

you're so retarted. live octopus tentacles may not be what most people would eat, but if you're gonna whine and cry and be a pussy about it, i have to wonder..why did you order it in the first place. Why don't you just suck it up. i've been to the prince. It is one of the most excellent and classy restaurants.

Wow... I think there may be something wrong with me. I didn't eat this when I was visiting Korea, and now that I've read your article... I want to ! Sheesh. And I already knew *how* to do it (didn't know about eating eyes though - so thanks, anonymous!) <BR/><BR/>Luckily, I don't work far from the restaurant... Sounds like a great one. On the other hand, I can't believe I'm even thinking about

I've been a regular eater of live octopus since I've lived in Korea. There's a place next to my house that offers a special of live octopus and two beers for 10,000 won ($10). Great on a hot summer day.<BR/><BR/>Got some video of eating live octopus on my site (see "Sashimi!") for anyone who wants to see this in motion:<BR/>http://www.zenkimchi.com/videos.php

It's not so bad as that. No one taught you how to eat it?? You use two chopsticks. One you pinch the tip of the leg, then use the other to hold the fat end and roll it on itself with the suckers on the inside. It will relax on itself and is easy to eat. It also prevents the suckers from attaching to the back of your teeth (terrible when that happens... if you try to rip it off, the sucker can
