Off to Japan

[parishht]

Well guys as I write this, I am sitting in Detroit waiting for
my flight to Japan.

I will be checking in from there from time to time,
so please don't start behaving all of a sudden.

If I get the chance to check things out, I will let you know if
it is l or - or /. ;) ;)

[macojoe]

Have a great trip!! ;)

[lumberslinger178]

[msbhammer]

Oh yeah, snap some pics of those asian babes in all those strip clubs. ;D ;D

[parishht]

Well guys here's an update,

Too busy to work on my investigation.

I can honestly tell you that some bait does not have a good consistency when eaten
even thougn it does have a good taste.
Last night for dinner we had sushi and on the palate
were salmon eggs and squid (raw)
the salmon eggs were good but a little salty,
the squid had a good taste, but after chewing awhile
it was tough but the consistence got really wierd,
I was able to swallow it before my gag reflex kicked in.

So now if anyone says to me go eat bait,
I can say "bin there done that".

[C YENSEN]

LOL, how long you over there for?

we miss you :-* ;D

[parishht]

I will be home December 6.

Oh I forgot to add to my dinner menu,
mullet stuffed with fisheggs then baked.
Very good, like hot sardines.

[macojoe]

Wow you a better man then me!! I stick to the local McDonalds and I at least know I am not eatting anything worse then dog! ;)

[parishht]

Well I did pass on the raw horse, the other night.

[Pipe_Dream]

Think I'll stay in the USA for a while. :P

[parishht]

Well I did it again tonight,
more bait only stayed away from the squid.
tuna strips raw, not bad.
shrimp, cooked, like normal.
Eel cooked, boy does this get a bad rap,
eel really tatses like a mild white fish, it was pretty good.

[msbhammer]

Whers all the pics. of you at the go-go bars. ;D

[tsubaki]

If the Uni is fresh, (light to pale orange not light brown)ask for it.
Then again it's all to personal taste.
Depending on the chef you will have the best or worst experiance eating, honestly we were served from the same chunk of meat by two different chefs and the difference was unbelievable. The chef we have been going to for over 10 years moved to partner another resturant about 20 miles away, we haven't had any since.
Oh try Saba (mackeral), if fresh it's great.
Tako (octopus) is much much better than squid.
Just for the meanness of it appreciate the Wasabi (good on mackeral). Here it's green colored (artificial) there it's almost white, supposed to be much better.

[randlemanboater]

What happened, they send all the cookware to the US?

Tell em to deep fry that stuff!

[parishht]

Sticky rice wrapped in a rice noodle and then deep fried,
that was good.

Just a touch of wasabi for flavor is what I like,
I am not a big fan of over condimenting my food,
I like to tatse the food and not the condiment.

So far, all the wasabi I have seen is green colored,
lighter green than in the states, but still green.

HAMMER, no special places, yet, but here are some pics I took:

Shopping area in Nagoya,
think of putting 20 shopping malls together to form a square,
this place is incredible.
This picture is just one street:

[msbhammer]

Nice pics. But I still wanna see some babes riding the brass pole. ;D

[parishht]

Sorry Hammer, no brass poles for gijoe.

I am typing this on my loaner laptop,
my regular one took a crap while in Japan,
I guess it was the bird flu.

When I get my machine back, I will load some more pictures
of interesting sites that I visited.
