Fugu As Fug

Japanese delicacy, the fugu fish (a type of blowfish) is one of the most metal dishes EVER. The fish is two hundred times more poisonous than cyanide and one small mistake during preparation can kill the hungry diner (23 people have died since 2000 from eating it.) So bad ass is a plateful of this, chefs need to be members of a guild and have a special licence from the Japanese government in order to be able to make and serve it. Its not cheap either and costs anything upward of £75 in Tokyo's swankier restaurants.
Fugu fish poisoning has been described as "rapid and violent", beginning with a numbness around the mouth until paralysis arrives as a foreword to blessed death. Oh and you will remain conscious until the reaper calls. There is no antidote. Despite all this, Fugu eating is extremely popular with Japanese diners and tourists alike. Like I said, bad ass.

Heres a guy eating Fugu. His mouth goes numb but he'll be fine (he hopes.)

Soup My Dears

Convenient: Soup in a mug

I learnt a cute ditty when I was young. It didn't have a title but it went like this:

*Say it as if you have a lisp*

Whath for thupper mother?
Soup my dear.
Oh bother thoup, im thick of thoup,
its always thoup for supper!

Great isn't it? And thats what I had earlier. Soup. A Japanese Oyster Mushroom soup to be precise, and it was delicious! Tasted a lot like the barbecue sauce you get with pork ribs in Chinese takeaways.
Ignore the fact that homemade 'real' soup is better and more nutritious than packet soups, sometimes there is no time for that, and this one was way more tastier than the usual chicken or tomato cup-a-soups.
If you decide to try the Oyster Mushroom soups then Aldi are selling them right now for 49p for three packets.
