It's only Internet strangeness, (but sometimes I like it).

    Soy Sauce, and a freshly killed squid, apparently.

    Phew! for a moment there I thought you might have been
    speaking (in a Jap accent, naturally) of the Squid Porn

    Reminds me of some of the freaky dishes I used to eat when I lived in China.

    For all that's holy, Adam! That poor thing is very much alive, it's a squid with the mantle cut off, leaving the brain and tentacles fully functional. It's alive, for crhissake, completely barbaric!

    All three brains removed apparently (Three??) though there appears to be some debate on what a squid's brain is, and how much it extends into the rest of the animal.

    I'd pour the soy sauce on for fascination's sake, when in Rome and all that, but I still wouldn't eat it.
    But then... I won't eat tripe either.

    At least tripe is dead. Dead! Deader than dead!

    And I had tripe for dinner tonight :D

    Now, Za. I thought you were a European?
    You know that in England you could be locked up
    for maligning the cultural rights of other nations!

    It's not barbaric, it's part of their 'culture'...

    (Like the right to tarmac green fields followed by
    illegally building homes for dirty thieving bastards.
    Complain about that and you swiftly get the UN
    involved with overrated actors citing "ethnic cleansing")

    I tried finding an explanation by a 'proper' scientist, but the most common one available seems to be that being touted by CBS:
    Soy sauce makes dead squid "dance" - The Feed - CBS News
    If these bits of Frog aren't dead, then I'd be pretty... surprised.
    But they too appear to be reacting to something salty:
