That's Sushi?

Mom and I went out for Sushi for lunch.  We ordered our usual rolls along with something new.  We were enjoying our sushi when the new item arrived; heads up on a bed of rice.  With my eyes wide-open, similar to what was on the plate, I asked the waiter "what's this called and how do you eat it?"  He says, with a big grin and a funny laugh to follow, "Tempura Head, you eat the whole thing." "Whiskers, eyes and all I asked?"  "Yes" he says!  And in a I'm creeped out kind of way, I LOL, and replied "Oh No!" Now just let me say, we like deep-fried foods.  Fries, pickles, perhaps even twinkies on occasion, but eyes and whiskers, deep-fried or not, no thank you.  Up until that day I'd never given any thought to broad range of deep-fried possibilities.  Now I can't stop thinking about it.  The new thing (aka Tempura Head) is not what I recall ordering, won't order it again, or ever forget that day.  And just to be sure, I recorded this memorable moment in food in my Evernote Food app.
