Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What yummy thing are you eating tonight?

That's what they told us when we were eating raw octopus (in Korea IIRC). You have to bite down real hard on the suckers to temporarily numb the nerve, otherwise the suckers grab onto the inside of your mouth.

I asked what kept the suckers idle after you swallowed but before digestion provided a permanent solution -- there was some discussion but no consensus on the answer, so there was a lot of chewing.
