Fugu kills Robert

I always wanted to try the infamous poisonous blowfish, FUGU. So during my last trip to Tokyo, my friends were gracious enough to take me for a full course meal at one of the finest fugu resurants in Tokyo. Unfortunately for me, it was a busy night and the cook was rushed and, well, I died!

Fugu is "one of those things that if you have a once -in-a-lifetime chance to try..... And don't, you end up retesting for the rest of your life!" At age 59, I am willing to try those things interest me and take a small risk (not a big one) for the experience! We were at one of the best fugu restaurants in Tokyo that night,so the small risk was far smaller in that calibre of a restaurants. At about $150 PER PERSON for the seven ( I think) course meal, is was for me, something afford once!!

The video was supposed to show a "typical" loud American joking around at what for us is a highly unusual meal. So I suppose it IS a joke. The serious comments about Fugu are not however. It can be deadly.

The meal that night was so well prepared that none of the eight of us felt even a slight numbness in our mouths, a common effect with a Fugu dinner. It was an absolutely delightful experience and perhaps my fondest memory of all my trips to Japan!

No disrespect, but um, WHY RISK IT? The chef might have a bad day or might not have taken his meds... pass the tuna.

It was probably butterfish anyhow. After dunking it in soy for so long, how would he tell the difference?
