That's what I say. Even more gruesome would be to see them pop a wriggling morsel of octopus or whatever into their mouths. EEeeeeee!Originally posted by the Bear:i'm nuts enough to eat it... considering i've eaten a lot of other silly things
oh.. i remember one Iron Chef episode had the fellas grab this huge wriggling octopus from the tank
kinda gruesome as they chopped up the octopus
Originally posted by jetta:My student tried to give me some horse meat. She went home to Kyushu for a visit (delicacy there) and brought some back with her. Good thing she's very Westernised so I didn't have to be pai-seh with her at all. But I've eaten raw crab before. Nice!
Actually we enjoyed watching those innane Jap shows. Damn funny! Too bad I only understand a little so couldn't understand everything.Originally posted by the Bear:there are a few clips on google video about the insane japanese game shows...
there was one where ladies wore a pork chop on their foreheads, stuck their heads through a hole in a platform.. the last one out won..
of course... they released a monitor lizard onto the platform

IMHO the Japanese are masters! One of the things I enjoyed doing was to go look at the fabulous cakes and pastries. Here's one of my faves. Banana log cake. There are actually two whole lengths of banana in this log cake. Orgasmic!Originally posted by alexkusu:they have nice pastries tho...mm...
n the chocolates r seasonal ala limited edition

they certainly have great pride in being japanese .......Originally posted by the Bear:a Japanese person, born to Japanese parents, attends a Japanese school in another country, is not thought of as "Japanese" by the ordinary Japanese...

ah well .... as long as Ayako chan is not like that ....
Har? Are you sure of that? Their pastries are all so sweet leh! How can that be so?!Originally posted by alexkusu:orgasmic you say?
the best thing (i think) is that you wont get too fat no matter how much pastries you eat. The japanese made pastries with girl's health in mind
