Something that's amusing, if you aren't me:

Every once in a while, I buy these little cans of corned beef from the local store. (100 grams, in a cute mini version of the trapezoidal can.) They stock two different kinds, one of which has very little grease/fat/whatever in the can, and another which is a bit less lean. A long time ago, I tried the less lean one, which is about �100 cheaper, but I didn't like it.

Now that I can read some kanji, I found out that the cheaper corned beef is actually a 50/50 mix of beef. . . and horse.

[shudder]

Ah, but what do I know? I've developed a liking for raw chicken, served sashimi-style.
