Eating San-nakji and Fugu seems like taking part in extreme sports.
Dinner should not compete with sky diving as a pass time.

We still do that in the states, we just do it differently.

This.
Looking at the picture it seems like the suction cups were still on? It seems like basic intuitive physics should encourage people not to do this (otherwise just thinning the herd).
Pretty sure octopus is always served intact like that - pretty sure any time I've eaten a bit the suction cups are still on the tentacles. I dunno why someone would go through the work to slice each one off ?? I mean, unless maybe they were slicing up & making octopus carpaccio, then they'd have to slice everything thin.

Nah, chewing raw octopus is more like chewing rubber than snot. Doesn't really appeal to me much.
I guess you're right, it's just that raw octopus looks so slimy. My mother has eaten cooked octopus, and she told me it was like eating elastic bands.

Until one of us fries up a pan full of snot and digs in, we'll never be sure if fried snot doesn't also turn into rubber.

Octopuses and squids look rubbery. And it even after being cooked they are still somewhat rubbery in texture.
They are not gelatinous if thats what you're thinking. They arent jellyfish.
Dont know what snot would be like fried up in skillet, but it would probably loose its jelly like features and be like ...boogers.
But if you wanna try actual cooked mucous just go to your nearest fine French restaurant and order escargot. The stuff that live snails are covered is the same stuff that lines your nose. Lol!

Sounds like a good way to spend over $100 on a plate of fried snot.
Pretty sure I can make that at home.

Well...its mollusk meat ...covered ...in fried snot!
Snails are a type of mollusk.
So...buy some fresh raw oysters, and then...take out the quivering meat...and then blow your nose into like its a Kleenex...and then fry it up in a skillet!
