Homer Simpson somehow managed to serve this delicacy without killing anybody, but in the real world, eating pufferfish is
no laughing matter. The creature contains lethal levels of poison, and only licensed, trained chefs are allowed to prepare
it. Fugu is commonly served as sashimi, but it's also eaten in cooked dishes. The fish is prized for its texture and for the
prickling sensation caused by minute levels of poison present when prepared by a pro.
