Fugu, It’s What’s for Dinner

fugu

Ate dinner Friday night at Ai, a fabulous sushi restuarant in Chicago. I felt like having something different. I got it. Poisonous fish.

That’s a picture of fugu, a Japanese puffer fish, the second-most poisonous vertebrate in the world. The restaurant had a sushi chef in from Japan who is one of the very few in the U.S. who can legally prepare fugu. When done right, the fish gives you a little buzz on your upper lip. When done wrong, you die.

I took the chance. Ate fugu. And lived. Can running with the bulls be far behind?
