Would you eat one of the world’s most poisonous creatures?

The blowfish, known in Japan as fugu, is one of the deadliest fish in the sea. Its organs are filled with tetrodotoxin, a poison that affects the muscles in the body. Tetrodotoxin is so lethal that an amount the size of a pinhead can kill a human being. Each fugu contains enough poison to kill 30 people. Victims who eat tetrodotoxin will feel the effects within half an hour. First, their mouths will begin to tingle. Then, they will experience sweating, headaches, nausea, and uncontrollable shaking. Finally, if they do not receive treatment, they will stop breathing and die.

It is difficult to believe that an animal this dangerous is also a popular food item in Japan and a few other East Asian countries. Japanese people eat nearly 10,000 tons of fugu each year. Fugu can be found on the menus of many Japanese restaurants. Fugu is most often served raw in a dish called sashimi, but it is also eaten baked, fried, stewed, or as part of a salad.

No matter how fugu is served, it has to be prepared very carefully so that it is no longer poisonous. According to Japanese law, fugu can only be served by licensed chefs. Chefs who want to serve fugu must first receive two to three years of difficult training. After the training, the chefs take a test to prove that they are able to correctly prepare the fish. Only 35% of the people who take the test actually pass it.

To prepare fugu correctly, chefs have to separate the poisonous organs from the rest of the meat. Fugu chefs slice the fish with a special knife called a fugu hiki that is stored separately from other knives. Accidentally cutting the organs during this process will cause the poison to spread to the rest of the fish. After the chefs have removed the poisonous parts, they are sealed in a bag and stored in a locked box. The fugu parts are then taken to a special location where they are destroyed.

So what does fugu taste like? Some have said that it is the most delicious food they have ever eaten; others say that it is tasteless and somewhat chewy. Since there are so many different opinions, the only way you can know for sure is to eat some yourself—if you dare!

A Home Away from Home
Read this passage from "A Home Away from Home."
When summer finally arrived and eighth grade ended, my
thoughts turned to Grandma Rose and her small farm in South
Carolina. I couldn't wait to sit with her on the porch and listen
to her tell old family stories. Every summer, my parents, my
younger brother and sisters, and I drove down to the farm from
our apartment in Baltimore. Aunts, uncles, and cousins from
other parts of the country joined us there. We all came to
spend time together, share memories, and celebrate Grandma
Rose's birthday
For the cousins, the annual visit was a way of measuring our
growth, both physical and emotional. How much taller were we
this summer? Which barn shelf could we reach? What would we
be allowed to do this summer, now that we were a year older?
How does this passage make a connection between visiting the
farm and growing up?
o
by explaining that the cousins notice how they have
each changed since the summer before
by saying that her family visits the farm every year to
celebrate Grandma Rose's birthday
I was named Caroline Rose after my Grandma Rose because
we shared the same birthday Grandma Rose referred to us as
the "birthday gals," and we had our photograph taken together
every year. This year, I was turning 15 and Grandma Rose
was turning 84. In addition to having the same name and
birthday, we shared other traits as well. "Caroline Rose, you're
just as strong-willed as your Grandma Rose," Mama used to
say to me in exasperation. I loved Grandma Rose and I
wanted to be like her, so I didn't mind,
by explaining that aunts, uncles, and cousins from
all over the country gather at the farm
by revealing that the grown-ups talk about how their
lives have changed over the year
Daddy called the 12-hour drive to the farm "our pilgrimage,"

Read the excerpt from “On Women’s Right to Vote,” an 1873 speech by Susan B. Anthony.

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.
