| How Big is Your Sashimi or Sushi |
| Alright
I live in a place that might be termed America. Given that, sometimes I
find some regular comedy on my Sunday boredom television. At
15:00 today I was turned to the Food TV Channel watching a program
called Kitchen Accomplished. Occasionally that program featured
side quizzes before periodically cutting to their advertisements. One
of today's quiz questions involved the Japanese involvement in sushi
dishes. Let me get something straight first. A
lot of us living in Hawaii love a lot of the Japanese businesses around
here. I refuse to stereotype any more of the Japanese people in general
any more then I will put up with others stereotyping we Americans in
any other equivalent ridiculous joking. Well, let's get going
anyway today via our American television. | | Today's
question was: The traditional sushi length served in Japan was a) One
inch; B) One and one half inches or C) two inches? As it turned out,
the correct answer was one inch - that was the polite length of their
food serving that could be consumed in one bite. Ahem, let me try that
one in reverse. Answer quickly Japanese personnel. How many pounds do
normal people weigh? How many gallons of gas do your cars hold? How
many feet tall are you? Even in the well educated Japanese a normal
response might be, "Huh?" | 
Is this tape measure for sale in Japan? |
| Hey,
you're welcome by my house in Hawaii any time. We can tell our jokes
about our president named Blush - that kind of behavior in America IS
completely legal. You try and measure a gallon. I'll try for a liter.
I'll bet 500 yen that I'll come closer to the correct amount. What do
you think sport? |
