Okay, one day I'm watching the Iron Chef and I see that the Ingredient O' The Day is turkey.
Fair enough. I like turkey. Then I see that one of the chefs is making turkey
sashimi, which for you fellow
gaijin who don't know, means he was
serving up
raw fucking slices of turkey breast. WTF?!?
"Paging
Dr. Kevorkian, we've got 40 cases of
salmonella poisoning in Studio B ..."
Needless to say,
my curiosity was piqued. Wouldn't yours be?
I mean, what other bizarre shit have they served up? I mean,
I like wine, too. But a whole meal based on wine? Or yams? Here's what my
research turned up:
What's more, they've been doing this to people since October 1993.
