 Known as odori don, a delicacy in Japan and Korea that freaks most people out when they actually watched the preparation of this dish as well as when it’s served on the table, dancing and moving.

Before you start having nightmares, it’s best you should know what actually causes the squid or octopus to move on the platter. The octopus’ nerves and muscles are still active and specifically spring to life when in contact with salt or things like soy sauce. So technically, they are not really alive when served as they have removed the brain from this fresh sea creature.

It’s probably safer to consume squid since octopus’ tentacles comes with powerful suction cups that might grab onto the inside of your throat and lodge itself there, chocking you. Thus, some countries banned this dish due to the danger it poses.
