Ooh, there goes the blowfish statistics for this year
People, eating blowfish testicles is wrong, OK! Hmm, this is what seven Japanese discovered after eating the deadly delicacy. They are all now in hospital unable to feel their hands or legs. OK, it was tempting I must say, raw blowfish and their baked testes, but it is hell dangerous (Japanese roulette). With a nice tempting name, fugu, if not prepared properly it can lead the diner to an early grave (in minutes). To make matters worse the restaurant in question, did not have a licence from the provincial administration which is absolutely necessary. The blowfish contains tetrodotoxin in its organs, an evil neurotoxin that can cause death in minutes if not removed by an experience chef. Death by blowfish happens at least three times a year in Japan. Why the hell would anyone eat something so dangerous you say? Well it has long been rumored that if by some chance you die, it is customary that the chef commits hari kari (supposedly this is the insurance that the meal will be safe). The restaurant in question was called Kibunya located in Tsuruoka, an old castle town by the Sea of Japan (just in case you were interested).
