Why would anyone do that????? People eat rattle snakes, but they don't eat the venom glands. How do you remove the venom glands from an anemone? Did they discard the tentacles? There's no way I'd eat an anemone tentacle loaded with venom. That's just insane.

We (Asian people) eat Jelly fish a lot. They taste great. I think anemones would be about the same. I thin the preparation likely detoxify the venom. Like most venom, which are proteins, the get denatured from change in pH, great change in salinity, heat and other means. I don't think they all going to get stung in the mouth, esophagus, stomach and bowel when they eat these animals.
FWIW, I read that snake venom does not harm a person who swallow it. The venom get denature and digest in the stomach with our stomach acid. Although the source of this information is dubious, since it promotes sucking venom out of a snake bite, I would not want to try to find out this is true or not.

I mean, really... if you fry it, you are just making that otherwise healthy food a big 'ol cholesterol nugget. Why would you do that...?

Yuck... :rollface:

General rule of thumb... the more rare and endangered of extinction, the better the taste...

They were cool water and They cooked the tentacles and body

venom generally is not poisonous, and needs to be injected. Otherwise a snake would die from eating his envenomated prey. A venomous snake can bite itself resulting in its death. Thats 100% fact- have had it happen.

Would you be willing to ingest venom to test the hypothesis? What if you have an unknown ulcer?
I'll stick to hamburgers and hot wings.:lolspin:
