Live Octopus
Octopus is very popular in Korea and Japan. The food is enjoyed the most when the octopus is still moving with the tentacles to be felt to at the roof of the mouth. But the challenging part is to swallow the alive octopus without choking. Each year Korea faces on an average 6 deaths due to choking.
Ackee Fruit
Originated from West Africa, it was introduced to Florida and U.S.A. It appears like a pear, but it should only be picked after it has opened naturally and reveal it seeds. The fruit can be poisonous if its overripe or immature. The fleshy part around the seeds is the only part which is edible and rest of the fruit contain a toxin called hypoglycin which can be fatal if consumed.
