If the ika was still squirming, li'dat, amidst the sushi rice and nori, d'as too raw . . . and I figure everything else from there until what is presentable and edible to the sushi customer could quite comfortably be labeled as "too raw" for my tastes, methinks (if anybody thinks something like this can't happen, they can go watch that first sushi bar scene from the South Korean smash hit film Old Boy for a point-of-reference, hahha).

Steak, too. Somebody orders one o'them medium raries, I can see the diner calling over the waiter, telling him or her, "'scuse me, but, uh, this number's a bit TOO raw."

K-den.

Unless he/she was sitting on the pier eating ika that had just been caught, I doubt it woulda been that "raw" as you put it...

ha, that reminds me of something i heard once. some places in asia, they consider baby octupuses a delicacy. i remember one guy saying he liked it when the suction cups on the tentacles would stick on the sides of his throat while it was going down! :crazy:

That's taking food that "sticks to your ribs" a little too far...

i remember that in pusan, korea as well. considered a midnight munchies, a lot of us would be finished with bar-hopping at "zero-whatever" in the morning, looking for something to eat before crashing, there are food stalls all around selling everything from noodles to kim chee and rice, and yes, even live octopuii. i don't remember trying any, (i prolly woulda remember that) but i remember some of my wasted friends would just order them and literally suck them down. i disticntively remember one of them had to pull the tentacles off his lip and push down the tenticles with his fingers.

Yow. That's a little too fresh for me... I don't want my stomach to be an octopus aquarium... :bleh:

i'm sure the stomach acids take care of the "live environment" problem.

Ha, see? "Too raw" DOES exist.

how does soju compare to sake?
I've tried soju sometime ago and was wondering if it tastes jsut like sake.

Soju's a lot stronger, higher % alcohol.

There's a difference between "fresh" and "raw," which is why I chose the word "fresh..."

Yet, YET, it sounds like you have more a grasp of how something can be "too raw," Mr. 'Racer. Really . . . if you perchance to get a chance to see Old Boy, do so; you'll know exactly what I be talkin' bout, bhwhwhaha.

Sigh. I can't believe we (yes, WE, 'racer) have gone on for as many posts as we did on the subject of RAWness. :doh:

Beats talkin' about politics. :bleh:

Heh. I must needs disagree with that, HOWEVER, discussin' politics constitutes (pardon the pun) the only time I think I got shut down moderator-style (i.e., please see that "presidential, who you voting for," whatever thread). OH, well, whattu I care if that thread was shut down, George W. Bush won anyway. Ooooh, ooooh, c'mon, now, who's mad at The Man, who wants to call him a right-winger, whatever, ooooh, :hehe: .

What I do know is that discussin' foods and stuff on a message board is much fun. Maybe even more productive. 'Specially to an amateur chef as myself. :victory:

I need EFFECTIVE recipes here, folks. I need TIPS, too, such as "don't mix eggs in copper bowls because they discolor egg whites," stuff like that.
