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’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…

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’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

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？

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.

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

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。???
