Top 5 "I don't believe they call that food
Japanese foods
1. Natto
The stuff they serve as appetizers in Hell. Imagine a pile of soy beans covered in snot and raw egg and left to rot for a few weeks and you got yourself natto. The Japanese swear its "very healthy" but this is simply an excuse for the country's biggest culinary fuck-up.
2. Uni
Revolting sea snail paste masquerading as a mashed-up piece of tongue.
3. Konyaku
No idea exactly what it is (Animal? Mineral? Vegetable?), but looks and tastes like a chewy purple jelly-fish with bits in it. Like flavourless jello gone horribly wrong.
4. Sea Snails
Sea snail shells encasing a raw slug. As appetizing as it sounds.
5. Salmon roe
The part of the sushi platter that always gets left behind. Big squishy salty fishy pustules. Yum.
And what's this about octopus icecream? What will our little friends think of next?
