Pufferfish Soup, Takeout Breakfast

20210710 #breakfastdiary 145, 27°C/mostly cloudy #hwalbokjiri (live pufferfish soup) — the classic breakfast of choice for serious drinkers. A rare #boughtbreakfast for me today. Dolphins apparently like to chew on and toss around pufferfish, and when they get a small dose of the neurotoxin, they experience something like a high — and seem to enjoy it. A documentary showed one dolphin passing a pufferfish along to another once it got too disoriented, and the whole pod ended up dazed underwater, barely able to swim straight.
