Where Is My Meal Going

Seems to most likely be a Japanese restaurant...

In Japan the sashimi chefs are extremely quick and talented with their knives, so they often serve up meals where the main food item is still alive or twitching just to prove to their customers the food is extremely fresh...

It usually done with more seafood related items though such as lobsters or fish but i do know that chicken & beef sashimi are pretty easy to come by as well...

I love the Japanese people but they have some strange culinary ideas. Not that I do not eat sushi but there are kinds of sushi that I find repulsive.

One thing I find about American sushi restaurants is that the pieces are often four times too large.

Generally speaking you cannot cut food at a traditional Japanese table because knives are never provided. Any knife is a weapon in that culture, and knives would be disturbing to the digestion, if laid at the table. A display of a knife could be considered at least a minor provocation or insult. It is always in bad taste.

Everything is supposed to be prepared by the chef in advance so what knife is never required.

There is one sushi restaurant in town that does not do this and all of the rest of them make these Godzilla size pieces. I guess they know how to impress Americans, and laugh up their sleeves as people tried to eat these huge things.

I watched a large dog coldcock himself as he ran headfirst into the bumper of a 59 Chevy pickup truck, chasing a headless chicken.

Anyhow I hadn't thought of that in 40 years.

I had a friend at work who was a part-time farmer. When he invited me over for dinner I didn't realize we were going to kill it right there.

Actually his wife had made sauteed pheasant and the chicken was for later. I think my friend was trying to impress me a little bit with his bucolic traditions, but it almost cost him a fine Hound.
