Do You Eat Anything When It Is Still Alive?

I have insomnia, so am having a weird thought. Or maybe I am having a weird thought, so am having insomnia. Anyway -

Can you think of any food that you eat when it is alive?

Maybe we should eliminate fruits and vegetables from this. A carrot would qualify as "life" if we found it on Mars, but I'm not sure how you determine when a carrot has "died". So, I'm really talking animals.

"Don't worry, he won't have drank much."

The occasional fly I guess - accidently.

It only took three posts to get to that answer, I was thinking the very same thing when I read the title. Is there something wrong with me?

Oysters were on my mind last night. I was about to get out of bed and have some fresh Oregon oysters, but I wasn't quite up to swallowing a living creature, now that I'd thought about it. It's remarkable what a good night's sleep will do, though, and I've just polished off the last dozen. And it's not even 10AM.

I've had ama ebi sushi that was alive less than a minute before I ate it. I guess that's as close as I've gotten. Yes, we've all eaten live bugs (probably some while we slept).

I've not had this, but here you go.



A buddy that's a sushi chef told me about this. The chef will pick the fish, fillet it and send the sashimi out on the plate with the still "live" remains.
