"gorilla" news and stories

Just because I've gotten out of the big city to spend a week chilling out in Maine with my good buddy Jonathan doesn't mean that I don't still hanker for strange Midnight Snacks. Today's is pretty strange: Gorira no hanakuso.

It doesn't take terribly much knowledge of Japanese to realize that the name of this stuff translates to "gorilla boogers." After much laughter from Yuki, a line cook at Suzuki's Sushi in Rockland, my theory was confirmed. She also told me that the green legend on the right side of the package reads something to the effect of "It's so healthy, be careful not to eat too much."
