Live octopus? Cricket kebabs? Let's eatLive octopus? Cricket kebabs? Let's eatBen Raisher watches as the writhing octopus on his plate has its tentacles clipped with giant shears, #x then squirms in amber sesame oil like a pile of bisected earthworms.hats

With a deft pinch of his chopsticks, the wriggling, still-alive limb is in his mouth and down his throat.

Raisher, 28, smiles. It is what brought him to his local food adventure club,Offset Plates, one of a handful of groups from New York to San Francisco dedicated to dining on exotic and bizarre foods.

The iron-stomached champions of New York City are the Gastronauts, #x who meet monthly to feast on foods many would not consider, such as pig hearts and intestine in vinegar,hatsgoat kidneys or sauteed lamb's brains.

"Nothing's off the table," says co-founder Curtiss Calleo, who grew up in Austria and Italy and wants to bring Old World curiosity to New York palates. "Any restaurant worth its salt has sweetbreads or tongue or pork bellies. There's a food renaissance going on."

Offal is old hat for groups like the Boston Gastronauts and the Organ Meet Society of New York City.hatsThere are groups devoted to eating only insects and some that venture into extreme territory, #x like the San Francisco Food Adventure Club that recently organized a human placenta tasting (the dinner had to be canceled due to potential formaldehyde exposure).相关的主题文章：
