bonus track almost ended up on the cutting room floor. but that would’ve been a waste of some pretty hilarious behind the scenes jpod101 zany comedy…
hope you enjoy it!

Mina-san, in the lesson you heard this sample sentence:
虫を食べたことありますか?
ムシをたべたことありますか?
Have you ever eaten bugs?
Well, feast your eyes on this:

In some parts of rural Japan some insect delicacies include イナゴ (a kind of Japanese locust) and ハチの子 (bee larva).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen mabo tofu on a menu here in the States. Is it a famous dish?
at 10:41 pm
I’ve had mabodofu. It’s nice… but quite (maybe too) spicy !!!
虫を食べたことがありませんけど、花を食べたことがあります。お菓子とか、サラダとか、ジャムとか….美味しいですよ!
I found the part about 飯 very interesting. Because of お召し上がり、I had always thought 飯 was more polite than ご飯…
at 3:05 am
I’ve eaten chocolate covered bees, cicadas, and grasshoppers. I like eating weird stuff!
at 4:01 am
Here are some wasp crackers. Never heard of them or seen them in Japan, but I guess these are made near Tokyo.

Be careful of the other links on the page, the video of the girl eating a live preying mantis was totally hilarious, but def not for the squeamish.

i had a lot of fun listening to you guys
i think i also swallowed a bug while riding a bycicle , it was quick so i didnt have the chance to ” taste ” it and i wont be eating bugs anytime soon
i prefer a nice juicy steak
at 7:23 am
I’ve heard「飯の時間だ」a few times. And a couple of useful phrases from a book I have, depending on the situation:「作った人と結婚したい」”I want to marry the person who made this!”,「ここは韓国? だって犬の味がするんだもん」”is this Korea? ‘Cause this tastes like DOG!”.
I like spicy food, but I have only tried a couple of sezchaun dishes. Kung Po Chicken is probably my favourite Chinese dish (that I have tried), I’m always trying to make it myself, but the sauce never comes out quite right
at 11:05 pm
kitty-chan, you’ll have to go to a Chinese restaurant, specifically Szechuwan, to try the mabo tofu i think ^^ I don’t remember if they have it back in the US or not, but it’s at most of the Chinese out here in Japan.
僕は虫を食べた事がないね。The closest is gummy worms.
at 1:17 am
Ha. I don’t think they will sue Jpod101, they want advertisement too.
I need to point out one mistake made in this lesson. 中華 means Chinese and not Chinese food. It is just like 和 means Japanese. Although in this lesson it means Chinese food.
By the way ことある and ことがある, what is the diffrent?
What is やってるし?
at 9:18 am
watermen, i think the way 中華 is used here…it is just inferred that it is food, since they were talking about eating Chinese food. So even though it doesn’t say 中華料理、it has the same meaning.
and I believe that ことあるin the conversation’s case is the same asことがある。 but since their friends, their conversation is casual, and particles are dropped sometimes
at 11:19 am
In casual conversations, we use 中華 as Chinese food.
Also we use イタリアン as Italian food, フレンチ as French food and so on.
at 12:28 pm
watermenさん、 やってるし is 2 words
やっている and し
やっている is the progressive form of やる “to do”
し is a sentence ending particle that means “and” with a nuance of among other things.

I can see Peter cruising down the highway with his head sticking out the window, tongue flapping in the wind.

I had the same image in my head just then

Koreans eat さなぎ〜 But not every korean, just like there are many Koreans hate to eat dogs!
I ate さなぎ when I was petit. At that time (1980’s ) we could easily find さなぎ selling on the street.
These days, I can only find さなぎ around Myung-dong street and whenever I see it I become nostalgique… ああ、子供のゴロ、いいだったな。とか。
さなぎは韓国でだけ食べられるんですか。???
at 5:54 pm
Jason-san,
. Some good eating!
Jong-san, さなぎ〜 good eating!

Mabu dofu wa chigoko mo nihon desu ka? (Is Mabu Dofu Chinese or Japanese food?)
at 10:27 am
Ivonne C. Goodman-san
Mabou Doufu is Chinese food.
But the Maabou Doufu we eat in Japan is less spicier than authentic Chinese one.
Our society has received so much influence from Chinese culture. But most of the Chinese food we eat in Japan is Japanese adopted Chinese food.
Just like the American Pizza. American pizza is so different from authentic Italian pizza. I like both American Pizza and Italian pizza though.
at 4:22 am
Arigato Naomi san. I have another ?. Haupekota yo (your making me very hungry!!)! Is that an answer when someone says to Onaka here runo no? So how do you say I am hungry?
at 10:35 am
Ivonne C. Goodman-san
There are several ways to say “I’m hungry” in Japanese.
Here are the expressions I can think of.
●Harapeko da. (quite casual & manly)
●Hara (ga) hetta. (quite casual & manly)
●O-naka peko peko da.(casual, ok for both gender)
●O-naka suita. (casual, ok for both gender)
●O-naka peko peko desu.(polite, ok for both gender)
●O-naka sukimashita. (polite, ok for both gender)
I hope this helps.
