Sound the Feasting Horn!


Yes of course, there has to be a Thanksgiving post.

Today I was cordially invited for Thanksgiving buffet at the Hotel Nikko Resort.  I like the Nikko, it’s almost like another country, and I’m always the tallest person in the room, which is always appealing. Hulking primate that I am, I like to tie on the feed bag now and again.  So, lured with the promise of a selection of wonderful food, including my favorite, roasted pig (a taste I have acquired since moving to the island) and all manner of free beer, wine, and champagne, at precisely 1115am, the cage door slams behind me and I'm off.

Sadly, I didn’t take into account that a few hundred others were also cordially invited.  And it seems they all got there before me.  The buffet was decimated.  The only thing left were food boogers.  The animals ate everything.  And the pig, the only thing left was the beast’s snout. 

No thanks, I’m not that hungry.  I’ll go have it my way at Burger King……

I don't blame you for leaving the snout. I'd have no part of the nasty thing. Nor did I partake of mimigaa, or minced pig's ear when I was in Okinawa. Blech.
