In Japan diners fell ill and three remained hospitalized because they ate blowfish testicles. Remember now blowfish is extremely poisonous and if not prepared properly you will die.
Its scary. If you go to a decent-looking restaurant that serves fugu, you would assume a cook has a proper fugu license, Iwase said, using the Japanese term for blowfish. poison, called tetrodotoxin, is nearly 100 times more poisonous than potassium cyanide, according to the Ishikawa Health Service Association. It can cause death within an hour and a half after consumption.Three people died and 44 others were sickened by blowfish poisoning in 2007 most of them after catching the fish and cooking it at home according to the Health Ministry.
I am into the whole exotic food thing but knowing blowfish is poisonous and kills many people yearly who would you eat its balls!
Heh, I had the same reaction, which means I grossed myself out doing that bit of ferreting.
There is serendipity to that though. Think of the calories this means avoided. Perhaps I'll pen a picture book, Ferret Mike's get grossed out diet book.
There sure is enough material out there for such a calorie counting plan in any event.
Heh, years ago in the 70s during the CB radio boom, a friend and me fell in love with this very feminine and satin like voice this one woman with a base radio had, so we talked her into giving us her 10-20 (location) and we eagerly drove from I-5 to find this delightful minx.
She turned out to look like a dirigible in a dress much older then us early twenties dudes. Sure taught me a lesson. The good thing from it though was she was a hell of a good cook. We at least got good a good meal from this experience.
(P.S. but in your case, knowing you, you are greatly exagerating for comedic purposes.) ;-D
