Hmm I guess you'd also like to see Jews in concentration camps again for circumcising their children? Or American Indians to move because they stand in the way of progress? Hacking off of limbs for crimes?

Think before you type, you something that would get me banned

Shut up. If you don't like inane obviously stupid statements said for overactive comic effect then you need to get off the internet.


There's a button for that. If you don't know how to use a button you need to get off the internet.

It is already dead.. but yeah it is quite a freak show of a dish. BUT. Squid sashimi is AWESOME.

Nevermind the squid. Let's look at the rest of the bowl. This is dinner? It appears to be mostly a dish of bath soap pellets.

@TheGenk: not trying to be too condescending but i don't think you searched very hard.


Hehe, I searched the appropriate amount of time for it being 2am in the middle of the week.

I believe it's dead. Individual tentacles still spasm on contact with soy sauce. See this live squid eating video...

may be unappetizing to your tastes... but less offensive right?


Not really, I find that just as revolting.

I know we eat animals, and they die for that, but they should be killed as quickly and painlessly as possible.

And we shouldn't revel in their body's spasms after death, it's a bit sick really.

its much nicer when the real animal cruelty is hidden so we get our chicken mcnuggets without it resembling a once living thing... cruelty that's hidden is much much more civilized... then again, this debate only happens because we have the luxury of picking/choosing what we eat, and preparing it in a way so that it no longer resembles what it was alive... if you lived in a 3rd world country (or lived below the poverty line - as more and more people do) you'd think this whole debate was pretty stupid

even more so because a LARGE % of the people that whine/moan about animal cruelty, don't lift a finger to help fellow human beings...

and if the squid was chopped up into penne sized chunks, and the same liquid was poured on it, and it jumped and moved and squirmed... you "civilized" people wouldn't have the same reaction

thank god us civilized nations go through the trouble of disguising our food so as to not be cruel

and yes, the squid was already dead

I've commented about this previously on the sift; in the U.K. lab animal testing on squid and octopus require that you use anesthesia,... essentially because they are advanced enough animals that they solve complex problems and clearly respond to pain.

Hot liquid? I think that's soy sauce. The sodium in it causes nerves to fire primitively. The squid is probably dead. Not any different than those dancing frog leg videos where salt was poured on them.

And this is a wonderful example of why I love the Sift. @kir_mokum made me research (a bit) the anatomy of squid and then @spoco2 sparks a nice discussion. You don't get that anywhere else.

that is exceptionally cruel.

It would be if the squid was still alive. You'll notice that it is missing quite a bit of its body above the eyes.

considering a squid's brain is located very near it's eyes it looks like it would have been left intact. the body above the eyes does not contain the brain.


As far as I can find out the brain is in the mantle, along with (but not limited to) the stomach, liver, gills (gill heart) and heart. And the mantle has been cut off. I'd say the squid is dead.

even though I really like octopus (as a food), this is just cruel. Serving an animal still alive is just cruel. period.
They should be killed in the fastest way possible. There is no pleasure in making any living thing suffer.

And octopi are supposed to be really smart (don't know about squid though).
