BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 A restaurant has created a dish, named Odori don - literally meaning dancing squid rice bowl - by adding soy sauce to a fresh squid. The high salt content in the sauce reacts with ions in cells of the squids' tentacles creating voltage differences, and making the squid move. To prepare the dish, chefs at Ikkatei Tabiji, in Hakodate, Japan, first remove the head of the squid before serving the body, with tentacles intact, over a bowl of sushi rice. Seasoned soy sauce is then poured over it. As the squid is served so fresh, when the sauce is added signals across nerve cell membranes are re-activated temporarily, making it 'come back to life' Link to post Share on other sites
Xenomorph 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Seriously got to be a bit of a freak to find that appealing in your food! Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Can't see the appeal myself. I like my food to not move. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That's creepy. I hate seeing anything moving on a table, can't quite get round why people want to see something moving and squirming as it dies in front of them. (Yes I know in this case it is 'dead' already).

peterson 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 That would freak me out. Does food really taste fresher with literally seconds difference? Link to post Share on other sites
