Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006PING: anyone in JAPAN
I've just come across one of the funniest things I've ever read, which to properly appreciate one must enjoy eating natto (one of my very favorite foods). Put down your cup, swallow whatever's in your mouth, and proceed to: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000169.php And I just noticed the one about the Korean silkworm "snacks" (haven't tried this one), last entry on the page at http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_steve_dont_eat_it.php Yummy! Hey, natto is supposed to be good for you! My daughter loves it (but then she grew up here). I will eat it if served to me but usually avoid it. You're supposed to mix it with raw egg, soy sauce and chopped raw green onions. This is my 25th year in Japan, and this is one of the two things I don't like. The other is "uni", which is sea urchin.

Natto is indeed very good for you. I've loved it since the very first bite, back in 1977 when I had a Japanese boyfriend. (He also introduced me to the wonders of plum wine and saké mixed half-and-half.) My second most favorite Japanese food is unagi no kabayaki. (For you non-Japanese, that is broiled river eel.) > My second most favorite Japanese food is unagi no kabayaki. (For you > non-Japanese, that is broiled river eel.) Mmm unagi. I'm not Japanese, but DH is a sushi fiend and quickly made me into an eel addict. I'm still not a fan of the more adventurous forms of sushi. Actually even the fairly tame ones. Mostly I like the sushi that has limited amounts of raw fish. I love cooked salmon, but the raw stuff is so slimy it makes me gag. I have a real thing about texture.  Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca Your list of disliked Japanese foods is exactly the same as mine! Must be something about the Western palate. DH tried natto at a little Japanese restaurant, but decided that whilst it was a worthwhile experience, he would not chose to repeat it!

The other is "uni", which is sea urchin. I'm also not a big fan of uni. I once read "uni" off a menu, pronouncing it "yuni" (reasoning that it would sound similar to the commonwealth abbreviation for word "university"), thus making myself look like an idiot. :) "Cantate" <cantate7@yahoo.com> wrote: > This is my 25th year in Japan, and this is one of the two things I > don't like. The other is "uni", which is sea urchin. A friend of mine thinks that uni smells like dirty socks. Any truth to that?

Japanese people tease me that I must be a Kansai person in disguise for not liking natto. (They figure I am obviously not a Westerner, though I look like one, because I don't like coffee but do like tea.) 2. I think uni tastes like seawater. I love sushi in general and maguro (tuna) in particular. Now you've made me hungry! Cantate > 1. Japanese people tease me that I must be a Kansai person in disguise > for not liking natto.

Hmmm...I never had a bad cup of coffee or green tea in Japan, but I remember very little tasty black tea. > I've just come across one of the funniest things I've ever read, which to > properly appreciate one must enjoy eating natto (one of my very favorite > foods).

I've bookmarked the page, and next time I feel irresistibly hungry, I'm gonna check it out again.

I was surprised to hear from someone that only about half the Japanese actually like natto. I remember reading in Discover magazine that people in the Kansai region generally dislike natto.
