We ...

... and they had no idea what a turkey was. I was offended for our (tasty) almost national bird. One of my teachers had eaten it when she studied in New York, and loved it (with cranberry sauce, she added. She also liked burritos. She’s amazing.). But most Japanese people will go their whole lives without a tasty bite of turkey. Gobble gobble. It’s a crime.

There is someone out there who loves us, we few, hungry foreigners in Japan. A few ...
