If Someone Offers You This Fish, Say NO

We humans love the excitement of taking a risk or trying out our good luck. Buying a lottery ticket, doing extreme sports, or riding roller-coasters can do the trick. However, sometimes an action as simple as having a meal can cause an adrenaline rush. Our health and even lives may depend on the chef’s qualifications, storage conditions, or even the after-life reflexes of the meal.

For example, have you ever heard of pufferfish? It’s a Japanese delicacy and something akin to Russian roulette in the world of food. Its highly poisonous flesh contains tetrodotoxin, which is 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide! It’s almost completely banned in the US. Let’s find out more about it and some other dishes from all over the globe that can give you an adrenaline rush stronger than that from any roller-coaster and test your good luck better than all the lotteries in the world!
