Hello Kitty Monstrosity of the Day: the Hello Kitty Bento Box



Horrifying. (For more bloodcurdling bento horror, click here.) BUT, I have to admit that this related video (a how-to video for making a bento box lunch) is just as horrifying in another way! What's worse, really, the octopus-shaped sausage or the total misuse of Chopin?

Ahhh, I miss obento.

Those octopi are totally flavorless, but look cute. In a frightening sort of way, of course. I found it excessively hard to find any good sausage in Japan.

I was bothered more by the excessive use of a poodle than Chopin, really, but I'm a redneck, so what do you expect?

The poodle is just odd, isn't it?

There is really no good sausage in Japan? There is some pretty good sausage in Taiwan -- a little salty, a little fatty, a little flat-out awesome all sliced up on rice porridge for breakfast...

Nope. I could only find decent sausage in little specialty import shops in metropolitan areas. I don't remember once having really good sausage at a restaurant, even the pseudo-German places. And they don't believe in pepperoni at all. The equivalent when you have pizza there is salami. Hmm, I won't go there -- pizza in Japan is it's own culinary category that, other than being round, bears little resemblance to pizza here.

Hm, I'm starting to get hungry.
