Need some help: Cruel foods
I may have a side gig doing some writing for a fairly popular site (read: not mine),
and I have an idea for an article involving delicacies that require really cruel methods for production. The first two on the list are veal and fois gras, but i need more. Anyone know of any foods (anywhere in the world) that use horrific acts of cruelty to make? For the record, I'm the guy who started the thread making fun of hippies crying over old-growth deforestation and off-handedly referred to them (in jest) as "Eco-fags", so dont worry that I am suddenly working for PETA.

fuck - the lobster man !!
it gets cooked alive ! and you should see the way the chinese prepare crab .. while its alive they shove the eye stalks into its head, then use this indentation to rip them in half like a hamburger .. saw this happen right in front of me ... bottom half still has the legs moving around ... then i was expected to eat it afterwards. was pretty tasty to be honest

nice... :)
I will need to find some references. Do you know what the crab dish was called? I need to find out how long a lobster lives after it is dropped in teh water. if it is dead in a few seconds then it wont qualify. That crab one is awesome though :) i should do some digging... Didnt cheeba post something a couple of years back about dog farms in korea?

here's a good one:
Iki zukuri "Live Sushi" They take the fish, live from the tank, cut it to pieces, reassemble it artisitcly, then serve it to you, all while its still alive (i'm sure it dies at some point and the nerves just go apeshit)

What about the way they prepare eel on the Iron Chef? Drive a spike through its head into the cutting board and then slice it all the way from head to tail. I suppose it would die pretty quick but heres a video.

it's not a particular dish - its just the way the crab is killed before eaten. (it was my girlfriends dad that did it - right in the kitchen sink) he just shrugged his shoulders - thats just the way its done ..

but i cant deal with anything real.. i accidentally cut the end of my finger badly last year ..almost sheared 1/2 of it off - nail and everything - i couldnt look at it until it was healed. it didnt even hurt that much... i just couldnt deal with the sight of it .. shudder !
