Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

Re: Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

I think raw meat isn't designed for human consumption with how we've evolved.

Sorry, just had to jump on this -- human evolution and raw meat consumption have progressed alongside each other just fine for many, many, many years.

There is a difference, however, between eating raw meat from an animal that has just been killed and eating raw meat that has had time for bacteria to wreak havoc. We *can* eat raw meat just fine (although there are many clear benefits to cooked meat) -- it's just that we no longer live in a society where everything raw is necessarily uber-fresh straight out of slaughter.

First and second video I just went wide-eyed. can't bear to watch, can't look away~ (acoustic guitar song in the frog vid sounds familiar, but I can't seem to place it)

After I saw the placenta vid, I just went "**** this."

Re: Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

yeah the vid's taken in japan but I don't think raw frog should be called as japanese food haha

Re: Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

That song from the first video would go perfectly on a shock site video, mirite?

Also, this entire thread is ****ing disgusting.

I don't understand the enjoyment they recieve from the dying animal being shown off during it's last (in)glorious seconds before consuming it.
Just kill the ****er, prepare it and eat it. No need for bullshit like that.

Also I've had frogs legs -- self-pronounced food connoisseur here, I'll try almost anything -- before (French style) which are taste-wise pretty resembling to chicken except smaller meat to bone ration. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat them but they are pretty tasty. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_legs)

If you ate fresh raw foods your whole life it would probably not even phase your immune system. I doubt we've even evolved away from it at all.

Video is strange. Not sure how I feel about eating something that is still alive. Oh well.

Re: Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

being a chef, I can tell you certain meats are totally safe to eat raw. people shouldn't be so paranoid. as long as it isn't pork or ground beef, get over it and eat a rare lamb chop

Re: Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

Everyone who is saying that it's still alive when they're eating it, I don't think it is. It's just like if you cut the tail off of a lizard, the lizard's tail will be bouncing around about a minute or two after it's been severed.

I can see that for the snakes, but I'm pretty sure they made sure to keep that frog alive. Same with the fish in that other one.

The fish one probably was dead, too. Didn't it show them gut the fish? However, the initial process was them skinning it, it seems. So the fish one was more cruel than the frog one for sure. The frog one got sliced and killed pretty much immediately from what I saw. I don't think it was really alive much longer after the knife penetrated it.

Agreed with this. In my opinion, I find it a bit horrendous to eat things still living, hence why cooking was even invented. Maybe it's just my morality...I did go vegetarian for a month, as an experiment and after a month, it felt amazing eating a steak. But dishes like this, I scratch my head with confusion at the food industry.

Re: Japanese food - Live Frog sushi (Warning: Disturbing Imagery)

maybe it's just brutal for people to watch because it's not our norm.


lobsters are literally boiled alive. what's the difference?

For most people, they would say it's the mutilation.

so basically, i disregard the ethics of steak because i like it, but because live frog looks nasty it's fine to call it unethical

makes sense
