.
So, I was watching "Chefs Vs City" today when it suddenly turned into Chefs vs L.O.T - - - Live Octopus Tentacles.
As in EATING live octopus tentacles.
I kid you not. These puppies were writhing on the plate, and suctioning down to fingers, teeth, tongue and palate while being eaten.
I don't care WHAT they paid me - - - I absolutely could NOT take a bite of that.
I couldn't find a You Tube of the actual "Chefs vs City" episode, but if you are brave - - - VERY BRAVE - - - this video will give you the idea.
Octopi anyone???

Many of you have asked where in the world I've been.
All I know is that after 7 plus years of blogging and a different lappy, which I don’t like, I seem to have lost my blogging fervor.
Someday, when you least expect it, I will post again.
For those of you still waiting I say thank you.
Meanwhile, I am rather prolific on twitter. Find me: @KeethaB

To name my "Grand Old Dame."
But you, my bloggy partners
Gave her much more than a name,
You gave her a poignant story
And one sweet hour of fame.
Thank You

Quotes of Note
You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown
"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell
"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010
"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"
"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer
"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"
"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

No way no how!~ When we where in Chicago a couple of years ago, my boys and husband ate squid, I was so grossed out! Nice to see you. School is out for summer who hooooooo!!~ Enjoy your break, I will see you again I am sure in the meantime.
I feel the same way...no way..no how!!
Keetha, I'm glad you couldn't find that video. Ick!!
Are you out of school yet?
Oh my goodness! It seems like once the arms come off the body they'd stop writhing. I feel like I need to shower after this LOL
I have a hard time with moving food. I don't think I could eat it.
Ewwww! I could eat them cooked but not live...Christine
NO WAY... I can't even keep down clams or oysters. ERP... I'd toss my cookies for a week if I ate THAT.
DI
The Blue Ridge Gal
Aaaaaaargh - I would sooner stick pins in my eyes!!!!! Do you have over there anything resembling our "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here" where they dump a load of celebrities in the jungle and individuals have to earn food for the whole group by doing disgusting challenges? This video looks as bad as that.
My son was watching that episode while I cooked. I could see it in the other room and was yelling "turn that". I couldn't take it!
I have seen this on other shows, such as Bizarre Foods with Anthony ....(can't remember his last name) on the Travel Channel. Gross!
never
Ew. I would have to mighty, mighty hungry to eat something like that. Just, ew.
I wouldn't eat it either!!! Come say hi :D
Ugghhh...... that is horrifying to me! I don't know how anyone could eat that. I prefer chicken :-)
