Food Tie Die For. (probably liiterally!)

Now of course, my friends laugh at me, and what they call my "bland diet" But this is one of many rasons I only tried foreign food one. (Chinese Prawn Balls...Ewwwww) And now would not go into a chinese takeaway, as rumour have it, they also serve up cooked pooches! Or cats or just about anyting cute! I do eat some foreign food. MacDonald's and KFC's.. which are distinctly American!!



Food to Die for!
Try a few weeks of eating nothing else but the Japanese delicacy fugu – it may not reduce your weight but, should you survive, you will be so relieved to be alive that you will forget about any weight problem you thought you had.



Fugu is a blowfish that contains, tetrodotoxin, a poison so deadly only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare this dish. It is slightly sweet and perfectly tender making fugu sashimi (slices of raw fish) the most popular recipe for blowfish. Fugu stew, fried fugu, and fugu zosui (rice porridge) will also delight the palate. But even with tight regulation about two people every week die a horribly painful death from wrongly prepared Fugu. This gave rise to an old Japanese folk song which says,
"Fugu wa kuitashii, inochi wa oshishii" or "I want to eat fugu, but I don't want to die."
