Eating Live Octopus

[TheAnnalovesyew]

i think its yummy for sure if the sauce is soy

[dchen345]

I was hoping to see you eat a whole octopus.

[StevenShields29]

Is this live Octopus or Gagh?

[EvannRachel]

@StevenShields29 Thank you for posting what is easily the greatest comment on any video we've ever made. Sadly, the gagh is not fresh in Korea so we tend to avoid it. This is indeed an octopus.

[StevenShields29]

@EvannRachel Thank you. I think the one with the live, writhing sea urchin is at least in the same league. You are all far braver than I. I would not be able to set foot in such a restaurant without passing out from the horror of it.

[alphys]

man now my question is who said we can eat anything??? Chinese... they dont give a damn.

[DarrellMMMH]

do my eyes deceive me or is that octopus still moving... EWW! *b a r f i n g* i'll just stick with a burger and fries

[Lillypie19]

Yummy :D

[wrkiehn]

I'll simply have a burger and some fries with a milkshake, lol.

[rawrsexrawr]

i wouldent eat it...id keep it as a pet hehe!

[EvannRachel]

@rawrsexrawr Haha, what would you name it?

[7Anubisss]

@EvannRachel: Eric

[gigjr89]

@EvannRachel I would name him bubbles lol



[yugiohtay]

is it really alive?

[spookymachine]

I would love to try this, sadly my boyfriend is not so adventurous. :'(

[yummieyummie123]

the korean and brown boy in your group are super cute!

[draven123100]

It isn't live. Its merely had soy sauce put on it. Soy sauce contains a lot of sodium which causes an action potential through the axons in freshly killed octopus and squid tentacles. It isn't gross just biological chemistry

[JordanianPride80]

i bet they tasted like a goat testicales

[Huntergrtwht]

Would you people please stop they are already dead don't worry they are not monsters, the octopus is just covered with soy sauce which has salt in it, if you can't tell go to 0:29

[O0LiBbyO0]

Girl at the end of vid.. i don't remember eating octopus lol :)

[limweisheng82]

bashiseoyo?! Oo really?! seriously?!?! @_@

[mad27]

Holy shit it's still alive. How fucked up would it be if someone ate you while you were still alive?

[therichardchannel]

@mad27 How fucked up would it be to know that you're a dumbass? It's not still alive. It's still moving because the neurons are still firing. Unless you're a vegetarian, you should not pass judgement as eating chicken, beef, pork, fish is no more or less "humane" than this. And if you are a vegetarian, why are you even watching this video?

[wolvesdd]

@therichardchannel yes it is alive....watch the national geographic video of this

[frdrcksncn]

Respect.

[smokey86d]

I'm wondering if a man or woman holds the world record for swallowing the longest tentacle?

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

eating a live octopus is manly, it gives you manly strengths

[daRkjames99]

YOU EVIL BASTARDS!

[luvnKK]

1:59 Unfair. -he's asain. They'll eat anything.

[EvannRachel]

@luvnKK Yes, he's Korean, and a friend of ours.. we were in Korea, after all. O.o

[luvnKK]

@EvannRachel lol. 

[sega31098]

It's not really alive, it's just nerves.

[MASSANFOOTY]

Evil!!!!!!

[petujaymz]

@MASSANFOOTY

stfu u rapist cunt

go fuck a fat paki in the ass u faggot

[geogodley]

lonely planet & EvannRachel promote animal cruelty laughing while eating live mutilated animals.

[yz450fyamaha1]

This is so sad, so messed up this is not funny the poor thing is suffering

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

@yz450fyamaha1 hahahahahaha wow was it hard to get that Marine Biology Ph.D.?

[larryparker1026]

Wow... Fun Video and now I have vicariously eaten live Octopus which really is the closest that I want to get. What a loud group behind you..is that the way it is or was it just that group? Thanks for posting I will vote for you.

[livefromthehutt]

shes pretty

[GNYBerlin]

Ohhhh, you guys... the things you do for art - or for winning $10,000 - or just to have a great story to tell.

Best of luck with the contest (and I'll be sure to share this on Twitter).

[oraora33]

0:42 his mouth is more disgusting than the act of eating live octopus itself.

[EvannRachel]

@oraora33 Thanks for paying so much attention to my mouth!

[jay1jayf]

@EvannRachel the whole video is about eating octopus, last i heard we eat we our mouths.....now where do you think our focus will be at ? think about it...take a second.

[morrowsinkorea]

I'm sort of confused on how to vote for this...I liked it, does that count?

[EvannRachel]

@morrowsinkorea It's confusing. :-/ You actually have to go to Lonely Planet's Youtube page, then click the "VOTE" link, then hit the big thumbs up for 'Eating Live Octopus' on there.

[MsPurpleMusic]

The yelling Koreans in the background make this video.

[cookielover59]

i want a pet octapus now plus i could never do something like this

[rahulerai]

eeewww!

[Mcuisine]

Ieeeeeeellll. Disgusting!

[orika001]

I know you can eat it whole and alive and you need to tangle the octopus in your chopstick so that it wont stuck on your throat, not sure if it's from korea or japan ,

[susiekimlisa]

u hav to dip it in a spicy sauce then its better!

[michael70224]

the guy ia a fag

[MrHardylover]

Show some video eating a live crocodile.....octopus is not the big deal :P

[BriDneyn]

ew?

[Lehoanglong]

Well I want eat the hole thing alive ... not cut into piece ...

[EvannRachel]

@Lehoanglong You can do that, too! But there were six of us, so we had to split it.

[yurianne07]

美味しい! 食べたい!!

[EvannRachel]

@yurianne07 ^_^

[jhonatanwerz]

pretty awesome, guys. sorry i didn't watch this earlier. i really want more shots of that fish market though. my restaurant would kill for that kind of deal here.

[EvannRachel]

@jhonatanwerz Its okay Im glad you saw it!! Yeah we didnt mention in the video that we just walked up to one of a bajillion tanks, asked for an octopus, they said okay 10,000 won (<$10), and then they proceeded to just throw it in a plastic bag and hand it to us. Hilarious/weird. Then we walked to a restaurant, handed it to them, and they chopped it up for us and gave us side dishes. Amazing! Im gonna try to find a korean resto for us to eat at at home! :D

[EvannRachel]

@justtakeiteasy Awesome! Hi. :-)

[INFINTITYWARD1]

Wtf¿

[HostileSausage]

Fuck that. What if it starts to bite down on your stomach?

[EvannRachel]

@HostileSausage The real danger is that it might 'suction cup' inside your throat and strangle you to death. :-O That's why they tell you to chew very well!

[coolcalmahn]

i love how some of these people on here are making fun of how you ate raw octopus... how it smells... how brave you are... how they could never do something like that... i wonder if these same people know what modified corn starch and high fructose corn syrup is..... 

[EvannRachel]

@coolcalmahn Yeah, we eat some strange things of our own.

[jgq85]

It wouldn't be raw then if they boiled it.

[Str0ngSide]

@coolcalmahn  Difference being that the octopus is alive and can strangle you!

[sandybeach1987]

gives a whole new meaning to "Don't play with your food".... YAY, my brave Rachel!

[memsteve]

Poor Squidward! Way to go Rachel!!

[photomishdan]

"I don't actually remember eating octopus" - Epic!!

[willminkorea2010]

It's a great time to go there because it's close to the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival.

[ozzy78]

i can't believe you guys ate that! very cool. good for u!

[TheFaustianMan]

Oh gosh! I did this! I ordered a Tako, figured must be close to Taco, right? Just spelled with a "K".

Oh boy, testicle memories and Japan.

[qiranger]

Fantastic!!!!!! I need to give that a try!

[liza183]

It looks bizarre but I really love eating live octopus, how was it for you guys?

[SarahsAdventures]

This makes me really sad actually.  It's fun to try new things and experience a different culture, but watching those baby octopus squiggling around on the table...

Well, yeah it just made me really sad.

[p00lman]

@SarahsAdventures Maybe they were Buddhist octopi. 

[sega31098]

@SarahsAdventures

Don't worry. They're not really alive, just excess energy.

[MrMawie89]

well its not alive - just the nerves, right?

[EvannRachel]

@MrMawie89 Right! It moves around for a few minutes and then stops.

[dayofharvest]

I would have to be in a state of "not remembering" before eating it, but thanks for sharing the experience.

[ResetLiveGrow]

Good times!! Although it was a bit annoying to deal with the tiny leftover tentacle bits that were stuck to my teeth at the end of the meal!

[willminkorea2010]

BTW, if you are in Korea, you can get this at seafood restaurants all over Korea. You can get it at Noryangjin Fish Market but you can get it at other places, too.

[EvannRachel]

@willminkorea2010 True! We went to the fish market because we hadn't visited yet.

[willminkorea2010]

It's not bad. The best part of those big seafood dinners is the sushi/sashimi.

[GreenEggsAndHamster]

Nice! You are braver than me! Hahaha!

[EvannRachel]

@GreenEggsAndHamster :-D You can do it! It's actually pretty good.

[roxanneworld11]

She said it was tasty? Wow, haha! Do they season it?

I watch the K-vloggers testing it out, wondering if I'm that brave.Took me ages to try sushi (many moons ago). I but once I did, I was hooked for life...same? Do you crave nakji now?

[EvannRachel]

@roxanneworld11 Hmm.. I don't know about craving it, but it definitely wasn't bad. Really salty of course.

[troubadr]

Oh, I love live Nakji! Very delicious!

[MicknFumi]

I like sashimi occy, but I prefer thin slices of large ones...that are dead!

[roxanneworld11]

@MicknFumi Oh no!..if you don't mike it, Mick, I think I'd have to try a very tiny slice, too. Esp. if it was still alive!....Does Fumi like it?

[MicknFumi]

@roxanneworld11 Yeah Fumi likes it, but not as much as I do...tako sashimi is one of my favourite sashimi's. Its very different to this style, but you can get it this way in Japan as well. I don't like it this way.

[raekmar]

hhahah thats duane from another youtube channel! Looks like you guys good time. I guess I must try live octopus once I visit there... ^_^

[ddongguli]

It likes good experience! :D

[RMNCOfficial]

I bet it smells awful in there.

[EvannRachel]

@RMNCOfficial Indeed! It is quite the fishy place.
