"Weird foods" article

This video/article was posted on yahoo and I thought it was funny b/c so much of the meals you find here in Japan.


Lychee fruit= delicious

Octopus= good. I want to try to prepare it the way they suggested. It sounds amazing and something I can accomplish in my tiny kitchen.

Natoo= horrid, horrid, horrid. I gave it a fair try but have no qualms about telling the Japanese folks that I think natoo is disgusting. They laugh at me b/c they know it isn't for everybody, even in Japan.

I try to not be judgmental of any of the foods or customs here. Things that seem "weird" to me are based on what I was exposed to in the US, which is different than all other countries also. Some American things that are normal or tasty to me are gross/unappealing to foreigners. I try to go into everything here with that attitude.
