Playing With My Food
written by John Chow
How many times have your mom told you not to play with your food? Well, she may change her mind if she saw what I had for dinner. Either that or she’ll faint. Some will no doubt use the following video as proof that I am the root of all evil. Not only do I slay baby pandas, but I also torment poor helpless lobsters by showing them what their insides looks like.
The lobster is served raw. Well, the tail is served raw. They separate the lobster between the head and tail, cut up the tail meat and serve it to you while the lobster is still alive (no doubt wondering where its tail is). This proves to the dinners that the lobster is fresh.
After you consume the raw tail (which is really good), they take the lobster away and fry it so you can go after the claw meat.
After finishing that, they take it away one more time and use its skeleton as the flavor based for a soup.
Nothing goes to waste!

So…much…evil…
Poor thingy..
It’s still alive?!?!
Yes it was still alive. That’s the best way to enjoy lobsters.
my god! Never eated a “live” lobster, allways boiled.
You wouldn’t “enjoy” it, if this was the last thing you saw!
Lobster sashimi, when prepared properly, is amazing. It’s especially good if the lobster is still somewhat alive like in this video. Sooo fresh…
‘Live’ animals are the freshest, one may say. *evil grins.
Lobster sashimi is absolutely delectable. It can also be quite expensive.
That looks so sad, must’ve been tasty though. I’ve never had lobster.
Doesn’t look dead to me..
More like “dying”
Man I would have got scared as i am not used to live food
Well, at least you know the food was fresh…
lol a little too fresh
In asian countries, most seafood animals are brought to the customers for ‘inspection’ to ensure that they are fresh, lively and kicking before they consume them. That was the way to show that they were ‘fresh’.
Not just Asian countries. Here in Vancouver, if you go to a Chinese restaurant and order live king crab, crab, lobster, etc., they’ll typically bring it to you fresh from the tank for inspection.
The color of the meat should show how fresh it is,the pinker the better.
WOAA! Its moving
Well, I they do boil lobsters before serving you. I guess we just got to see it die this time.
It’s like the CSI Guys doing autopsy

Poor lobster
It’s like one time that i saw killing a turkey. They cut his head, and the turkey run for a few meters without the head. Very very creapy! 
Headless turkey?!
Try this: Mike the headless chicken!
The only difference is that you watch it die. If you order any kind of animal for dinner, it *was* alive at some point.
Nothing goes to waste??
The only thing you didn’t eat was the shell!
they prolly put that in there somewhere too
I think John mentioned that they use the shell for soup. It adds flavour. (yes, with a U)
True, like a ham bone, you use the bone/skeleton which has saturated flavor within it.
I’ve eaten a fish like that at a Chinese restaurant. When they brought it out, it was cooked but still “breathing”. Needless to say, that freaked me out. It was very tasty though.
A lot of asian cultures love to serve fish and such live on the plate. It has to be moving. I’ve experienced those many times and I love it.
You are a sick man John Chow.
Hehe.
lol lol lol, must agree with that jack
Yes
Is the head alive??? Geeee! This one is really freaky!!
I couldn’t sleep at night because John was eating a LIVE lobster.. for REAL!!
Then you seriously don’t want me to tell you the other stories of how John is an evil, evil man.
As a member of the Clan of Evil, I’d like to hear some stories!
Oh yeah,
That is just crazy.
I don’t mind people eating lobster, but it has to be done with respect to the animal. You fail in this completely.
good bye jon
How do you respect a lobster? Do you say sorry before putting it the boiling pot of water? I doubt the lobster care whether you respect it or not.
Right!
Do you think the cow that has become your hamburger, was killed respectfully in the slaughter house?!?!
You respect any food by not messing about with it too much. In this case that doesn’t apply. Not wasting food is also respect, and you didn’t waste any of this.
I do, however, find this deeply unappealing.
That’s just ridiculous. Animals are here for our consumption. That and the lobster is most likely dead but is still twitching since it was freshly prepared.
Delicious, delicious animals…
Agreed. The lobster is already dead, fundamentally.
RESPECT THE LOBSTER
May I point out that Lobsters don’t have feelings because their nervous system is not as developed?
Any animal that is primitive enough to survive while having its flesh hacked out is not advanced enough to feel disrespected, or feel pain or agony. They simply consist of reflexes through hormones and signals. There’s nothing to respect.
Oh, all the things people to do feel self-righteous.. animal rights, SPCA.. gahhh. There are people starving out there, damn it.
lol…cry more, noob.
Dude you’re an idiot. It’s a lobster. How is it any less respectful if you eat it live??? You must be one of those uppity-dippity rich white people who try to feel self-righteous by donating money to the SPCA eh? Get your head out of your ass.
I wonder if I could attach an image in the comments.. lets try!
WHAT THE LOBSTER SAW MOMENTS BEFORE ITS DEATH:
Hmm… I guess not! Well, see the photo here taken from a spy cam before John ate the lobster
:!: 
Eww.. It had to see its ‘tormentor’ before its last few moments. It would have to be eaten by another tormentor other than John, anyway.
I’ve had something similar before: lobster sashimi. Nothing cooked whatsoever, I just got a lobster than had been cut up. The feelers and eyes were still moving when it got to the table.
I had ate ‘live’ frogs before. They were still squeaming when we put them in the pot. Hate to be disgusting to say this, anyone tried dipping half of the bodies of live prawns into hot water and seeing only half the colour change for them? Eww..
Now that seems a little excessive!
Fresh prawn sashimi is much the same. The prawns are cleaned and shelled but still…moving a bit. They’re delicious and incredibly fresh tasting like that.
