It's ALIIIIIVE! The 5 Foods Best Eaten Alive

blogs.houstonpress.com — While I'm not a full-on advocate of the raw food or paleo eating movements, I have to admit that both have their strong points. Many foods are, in fact, better left uncooked. And some are flat-out best eaten at their most uncooked: when they're still alive. May 26, 2011 View in Crawl 4

My pops used to eat oysters right from the ocean, it would always bug me out as a kid.

I think I could do that, but I never had a chance.

I've never tasted raw clams, but like the other four.

I love oyster, but every time I eat raw oyster, the next day always have diarrhea. Not sure why, maybe the oyster here not fresh enough. But it is no problem for me to eat Sashimi (raw fish).

"But I'm not a monster. I can't stomach the viral footage of Chinese fish being eaten while still alive, and I'm not a fan of the Korean practice of eating octopus alive either -- but only because I'm too afraid a suction cup would catch on my throat and kill me."

Why is it monstrous with fish but not octopus? Octopus (i?) have a much better appreciation of what's going on than the fish.

There are many choices of food in my country, most contain cholesterol ... But people still like it ...
In my country even rats, bats, dogs, snakes, monkeys, sharks, lizards, cats also became a meal if there is no other choice .... I do not know whether it is healthy!

This article is good and I just knew that if true, though still hesitant to eat it!

Though it seems obvious now, it never occurred to me that raw oysters and clams were alive. Yes, I am aware how stupid that sounds.

My wife got me into oysters, and I'm addicted now. She found out after eating them for her whole life that they were alive, and now I'm a lone oyster eater.
