It was a semi special dinner so went to a posh restaurant, as my girl friend is a lobbyist and her congressman or whatever has done well recently so she got a silly bonus.

No I am looking at the menu and there is a burger for $120

So I asked the waiter as its almost 3 times more than lobster and for that price I want the burger to be made of gold.

Apparently it is made from some special beef.

But I mean seriously who the fuck pays that for a burger, needless to say I didn't. Curious though to know what it tastes like.

Seen about these japanese breed of beef, feed them on some mad feed and i'm pretty sure they get massages and special talks from the farmers (genuinely), but still, rediculous as most chefs would probably fuck the tenderness in the cooking process

It had special mushrooms on it as well lol. I fall to see if the meat is that good why ruin it by turning it into a burger a nice steak would be better.

Fugu is the Japanese word for pufferfish and is also a Japanese dish prepared from the meat of pufferfish or porcupinefish of the genus Diodon. Because pufferfish is lethally poisonous if prepared incorrectly, fugu has become one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japanese cuisine.

Fugu contains lethal amounts of the poison tetrodotoxin in the internal organs, especially the liver and ovaries, and also the skin. Therefore, only specially licensed chefs are allowed to prepare and sell fugu to the public, and the consumption of the liver and ovaries is forbidden. However, a number of people die every year from consuming improperly prepared fugu. The poison, a sodium channel blocker, paralyzes the muscles while the victim stays fully conscious, and eventually dies from asphyxiation. There is currently no antidote, and the standard medical approach is to try to support the respiratory and circulatory system until the effect of the poison wears off. It is alleged that non-lethal quantities of the poison remain in the flesh of the fish and give a special desired tingling sensation on the tongue.
