The most famous food in South Korea is of course kimchi. In addition to kimchi, there is another indispensable delicacy on the Korean table, and that is octopus. Although there are many kinds of dishes made with octopus, Koreans’ favorite is the original raw octopus. Many people don’t know that Koreans are willing to risk their lives just to eat octopus raw. In Korea, octopus is also called octopus and is one of the representatives of Korean cuisine. Koreans are also very particular about eating octopus. They usually eat octopus with thin claws, not marine octopus from the deep sea. Whenever the tide goes out, some small holes appear in the mud piles on the seashore, and those are the breathing holes of the octopus.

As long as you keep digging into the hole, you can catch the octopus. There is a local Korean rice bowl called "Dancing Octopus", which uses a large octopus that has been treated and passed out. If the snackers drizzle soy sauce on top, the octopus will dance as if it was electrocuted. This is a famous delicious dish in Korea, but many foreign foodies are still scared by it.

But we all know that eating live octopus is actually very dangerous. Some Koreans accidentally got entangled in the octopus's claws while eating raw octopus, resulting in suffocation and death. Therefore, Koreans also need some experience in eating octopus. For example, they must chew carefully when eating to avoid being sucked into the throat by the octopus's sucker. It is difficult for most people to accept this way of eating. After all, if there are parasites on the octopus, it will be detrimental to health.

It’s really not worth it if you accidentally end up eating an octopus. Where there is water and soil, there is a food culture. We cannot accept eating octopus raw, but Koreans love it very much. But for this cultural difference, even if we cannot understand it, we can only respect it. If you are a snack foodie who dare not try this way of eating, then don’t take the risk. After all, it would be a pity to pay the price of your health or life for delicious food.
