...stuff tastes like the glue used to put up wallpaper. I'll just add that to my list of non-edible Japanese "delicacies":
- Natto
- Umeboshi
- ika guts
- shirako
- kujira paste

As I told my father-in-law, "dislikes, especially violent ones, add character". What fun would it be if I dug all Japanese food? Here's how my conversations go with Japanese acquaintances:bikkle wrote:You betray your semi-F*cked status. Give it some more time.
Me: ::eating sashimi or something with my ohashi::
Them: "Wow, you're very good with ohashi"
Me: ::looking at their horrible form:: "That's because I practiced every day in America by picking up some objects off the table. Coins, pieces of lint, toothpicks"
Them: "Honto?"
Me: ::rolling my eyes:: "No. Man, are you gullible"
:: more eating ::
Them: "So, do you like sashimi?"
Me: ::finishing my 12th maguro:: "Not really."
Them: "Honto?"
Me: ::reaching over their plate with my ohashi, grabbing their last maguro:: "Nope." ::popping their sashimi in my mouth:: "Didn't like that one either"
:: more eating ::
Them: "Is there any Japanese food you don't like"
Me: "Sure."
Them: "And it is???"
Me: "Two words. Natto kusai."
Them: "Ehhhhhhhhh?!? Natto daisuki! Oishi"
Me: ::passing my untouched natto across the table:: "Here. Have mine. Knock yourself out."

Aunt: "Are you a Christian?"
Me: "Me?..." ::pausing:: "Not really... but you can call me Chris-chan"
