Badly prepared pufferfish. Checkmate

    Are you really escaping the fate there? Just pulling the appointment up really

    I'm fairly sure most pufferfish are safe to eat too, I guess if it's particularly badly prepared, it might give you salmonella

    Not sure I'd go for that, but it's your meal

    Poorly prepared pufferfish (aka: fugu) would probably kill you. The pufferfish skin contains a toxin that, when expertly prepared, will make your tongue tingle a bit. When poorly prepared will really make your tongue tingle and will probably stop your heart shortly after that.

    Had to double check my original assertion, but I was more or less on the money

    Fugu is a Japanese delicacy, specifically tiger pufferfish which has that neurotoxin, prepared by an expert to have the toxin safely removed.

    Most other pufferfish have no toxin to be worried about regardless of how poorly it's prepared
