Japanese cuisine is known for its emphasis on fresh ingredients which makes this dancing spectacle possible. To prepare the odori-don, the chef swiftly cuts off the head of the squid before serving it on a bed of rice or noodles. Because its death was so recent, the squid’s muscle cells still retain Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source for muscle contractions in animals. Located inside the picturesque Trentham Gardens, this cafe invites customers to try its 'famous' fish and chips. For readers of Educated and The Glass Castle, a harrowing, redemptive and profoundly inspiring memoir of childhood trauma and its long reach into adulthood, named one of the Best True Crime Books by Marie Claire.
One review praised the staff. They said: "The manager was great. She showed us the allergy menu, made sure our food was OK for the little boy. Content: Definitely not for younger readers, I would say at least 18 and up. Violence, kidnapping, rape and strong language (although not overwhelmingly so- there are a few instances) A similar post-mortem physical reaction using cut frog legs was discovered by 18th-century scientists. It became the talk of the scientific community after Italian scientist Luigi Galvani placed a frog’s legs on an electrically-charged surface and touched the limbs with his scalpel, causing the frog legs to “dance.” This book, for me, is an interrogation of violence and mental illness. More specifically, how we reconcile ourselves to the complexity of relationship issues that follow acts of human cruelty.”This is an articulate memoir that examines trauma and the physical, as well as mental and emotional manifestations of trauma ignored. The author carefully navigates timelines as she compares and contrasts the violent assault of one afternoon/evening at the age of 14 and the physical and emotional abuse she suffers at the hands of her empathy impaired mother. Interspersed are chapters of her adulthood and the way her physical and mental health fail her and her efforts to solve the mystery of her unexplained maladies. One, the author writes extensively from Charles Goodwin's perspective (based on conjecture). This is a choice that, to me, didn't make sense from either a storytelling perspective or a personal one. As a reader, it's not what I want or am looking for from a memoir or true crime story.
Located by the bus station, it's the preferred place for many to grab a fish and chip supper, as well as other classic chip shop food items.

However, there is plenty of street parking around the corner just a short walk from the takeaway. Inside the menus were easy to read and there was also a chalk board with a list of specials. This theatrical dish traditionally called katsu ika odori-don features rice or noodles in a bowl which is then topped with fish roe or eggs, seaweed, and fresh squid or cuttlefish. It can primarily be found in restaurants around the coastal Japanese prefectures of Aomori and Hokkaido, where the tradition likey began, though the historical roots of the odori-don dish have sparked some debate. Some believe it is a modern interpretation of old Japanese practices like odorigui which means “dancing eating” and is the practice of eating something, usually tiny fish, while it’s still alive. The dancing squid dish could have also come from the more traditional practice of ikizukuri, which is when a chef prepares sashimi from live sea animals.Prior to this experience, he'd been bused to a largely white school, where he was bullied and beaten by a group of white students. The batter is crispy and light, not oily and wet as most places these days. The fish is fresh and succulent and the chips are to die for. It’s competitively priced and thus great value for money. Another review said: "Been here quite a lot over the years, but not left a review. I am very fussy when it comes to fish and tried a few around Hanley. This is the best by a mile.
