Some poor Chinese sous chef gets the job of putting on a glove and holding the head while the rest of the body sizzles. When it is brought to your plate, it is often still wriggling and opening and closing its mouth. Doesn't get much fresher than that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170261401527150806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683380.post-11106600611789309742010-01-31T02:39:13.306-08:002010-01-31T02:39:13.306-08:00it says a lot about you as a person that you can e...it says a lot about you as a person that you can eat (and laugh) while you are eating a sentient creature alive....none of it good by the way.<br /><br />Im no preachy veggie, but the comments on here about the killing of plants and vegetable are moronic in the extreme and worth no further comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683380.post-45597063229838520192009-04-03T10:01:00.000-07:002009-04-03T10:01:00.000-07:00How would you know if plants are incapable of thou...How would you know if plants are incapable of thought?
