Well, they do sell them at western grocery stores, but they aren't as good (tasting).
And I'm telling you, it's not really that exotic even for those who are "Meat and potato" type folks. You'll just wonder why it's not more common. In fact, the first time I had ever seen one was at Safeway...
Of course, you could eat something "Western" like bacteria laden dairy (Yogurt), moldy milk (Cheese), blood pudding, cow liver and ground pork encased in pork intestines (Sausage). It's all a matter of perspective aye.
Don't let the "Asian" tag make you think it's stranger than it is...all are fully fda with nutritional facts and many are even manufactured here in the US (under less stringent guidelines than Japan)
I think he has the "wistful" one nailed. For some reason Segal now lives in the armpit of the south that I call Memphis. What was he thinking? Next time I see him I'm going to kick his butt.
urple:Mingez, looks like your dreams could come true. Give her a call dude.

Sorry, South, I have to disagree (although, I must admit, I've never been to Memphis). Memphis might be the cancerous mole on the shoulder................I think we're living in the armpit (or pretty darn close, anyway!).

And somehow she improves on what I already thought was perfection.
I'm sending an email to her fansite as a volunteer. I'll be her huckleberry.

Crash-n-Burn
A few weeks ago I was working on a sprinkler system in an upscale neighborhood in NE Wichita when I heard tires squealing then a series of crashes lasting about 5 seconds. I came around to the front of the house and found this:
A 16-y/o kid had rolled daddy's Toyota Rav4 on a curve. I had seen this kid several times in the past flying through this neighborhood at a high rate of speed, and had even called the cops on him a few times for reckless driving. He told the cops he was doing the speed limit and hit a patch of gravel as he came around the curve....yeah, right! He rolled 3 or 4 times, and ended up over 200 feet from where he first hit the curb!
This shows where he came across the curb, over some landscaping rocks, and across the sidewalk before he started to roll. There were two small children about 6 years old playing in the yard not 15 feet from this sidewalk when he wrecked. He's dang lucky he didn't kill them!
Here's what it looked like from the other side:
I'm betting he was driving again the next day, though. That neighborhood is full of spoiled rich brats.

Saw this at another job earlier this week. This was one of my customers, and he had this and a '99 that was stock. I love the color of this one, especially the way the wheels match the body!

Sparky, if I was at the scene I could have determined his speed prior to flipping. There is a basic formula, but in my reconstruction courses, we are given various formulas to add in friction of road surface, curb surface, grass, landscape gravel, a formula for the yaw he was in prior to flipping, and impact damage. If they had someone on scene who knew what they wered oing I'm guessing they could have figured out his speed and charged him with that speed. The formulas reconstructionists use can determine speed within 1/10 of a mph. The 1/10 factor goes in favor of the driver because we are instructed to round down decimals. It takes several hours to do the formulas and about several weeks to complete a report.

Oh, I always wanted to be an accident scene reconstructionist! That would be so cool, I've always had a great interest in trying to figure out what happened and how. I had actually enrolled in a course for it, but the class was cancelled and I never got around to taking another. I would imagine they just charged the kid with reckless driving and speeds too fast for existing conditions. Don't know which would be a higher fine, speeding or too fast for conditions. The cops generally don't do reconstructions unless there has been a fatality, and even then it's often only if there are multiple fatalities or a commercial vehicle is involved. I'm sure this kid just got a slap on the wrist again. The cops in Wichita are great, I really have a lot of respect for all of them, but they also tend to take care of the rich folks and not hassle them too much for little things like that. Now, if he'd killed someone, that all goes out the window and he'd be treated like everyone else.
