Yep, I've seen that episode, too.

Another "fugu" story I saw was an old Detective Colombo episode in which Leonard Nimoy killed someone with "fugu" poison. I was surprised to see people already knew about the poison outside Japan. (That was in the 1970s.)

Even in the 1970's .....

Hehee...I can well imagine him going,
"Illogical! Humans wanting to eat fugu for the palate's pleasure or for increased sexual pleasure is considered unwise from a Vulcan's point of view.
However delving into the possibility of death is not only philosophically intriguing, but could be the primary source of humans' excitement over it.
Hence I would not personally object to trying it once. How about this evening, Captian?"

Regarding murder with Japanese food, another thing that is used in crime novels is "anasakis (simplex)." A pathogenic worm that in rare cases finds its way into the human digestive tract through undercooked seafoods, I've seen it used to kill people in TV detective stories. It is a worm found in most cases in "shime-saba," mackerel marinated in vinegar and other seasonings but uncooked:

​

I've been told you don't have to worry about it much, because the worm larva is visible if it should happen to be in your slice!

More info on the worm:

I always knew spock was the spawn of the devil!!!

stop me if i'm wrong but wasn't eastern culture quite a big thing in America back in the 70's and 80's?
i seem to recall 80's movies where japanese food was assosiated with yuppies (young business types).
and in the 70's it was popular due to the kung fu craze.

i may be wrong...seeing as i wasn't even alive back then!!!

貧乏巻

The ultimate roll that is never served in restaurants: bimbo-maki (poverty roll) which is just rice rolled in nori, no core ingredient in the center.

Is there another sauce you can dip the sushi in besides soy? I am not a big fan of soy sauce. I like crab california rolls and salmon egg.
