San-Nak-Chee
Last night after we finished teaching we went out to try a new dish called san-nak-chee. It's raw octopus (fresh out of the tank) cut up and then put on a plate. When it's brought to the table it's still moving! It looks crazy! I think it still moves because the nerves are still alive. When we picked up a piece with our chopsticks the tentacles stuck to the chopsticks...the tentacles also got stuck to the inside of our mouths. That was an interesting feeling. So then you just chew and chew and chew. I heard that a person died from eating san-nak-chee because it was a really long piece and the person suffocated because it stuck to the person's throat...something like that. We only ate small pieces so there was no risk but I still chewed a lot just to kill all of the nerves. Yummy! Well not actually but it wasn't bad.

Vanssa, you are getting very brave in you eating - dog, octopus! Next thing you know you will be enjoying the silk worm larvae simmering in those pots along the street!

That is disgusting.

Well done!
I want to see someone eating it!

What did it taste like?
it didn't have much taste at all. We dipped it in an oily-salty sauce and then in a chili pepper sauce so we pretty much only tasted the sauces.
So, I don't quite understand why people like it. Maybe they just want the texture and the suctioning feeling in their mouth. Strange. And the plate was about $15! Crazyness
