Cartilage

So, last night we went out to dinner with Lok-Yin (the English speaker who works for the town office...she's from the UK), her husband, another JET teacher and a bunch of Japanese people who wanted to practice their English (we had met some of them before). It was a nice dinner. I would prefer chairs over the traditional tables, but it was fine. Basically, we just ordered a lot of small things off the menu and shared them at the table. One of the things was a dish of deep-fried chicken cartilages. They tasted good, but took a little getting used to. It was a bit like learning to eat shrimp tails. Different.
