Japanese junk food.

Which I can't believe, so Matthew has actually had a box full of Japanese junk food sitting in his house for like a month now.

I cannot believe you've managed to keep your hands off of it. I had to like put it up on a high shelf where it felt like I was doing something wrong if I went for it.

Yeah, yeah. If it had been on the floor it would be gone. So where did we get these snacks? Okay so these snacks came to us from

from listener Kate Johnson who lives in in the Tokyo area and she is a blogger at

eat recycle repeat.com and I noted that the the

slogan of her blog is I'm going to show you how to live healthily and love it and

based on this care package we received I don't believe a word of it.

Kate has hooked us up with so many savory and sweet snacks. I think our teeth might rot as usual.

And there were at least two dozen things in this box.

So we have whittled it down to a few that look either tasty or weird or both. Where do we begin? I mean my usual like attack

it like a like a cheese platter strategy is it's totally failing here is totally failing me here

i don't know let's let's not start with the thing with tiny fish in it other

than that

uh... maybe how about like this chocolate is it is it hazelnut is it chestnut this one yeah what is it

so Kate says this is also one of my favorites because she she told us about other favorites in the box too.

Right. You're the one who can read this. Okay it's River, River North Focus. I have no idea what it is. So let's say, I mean it looks like

chess nut. Yeah, yeah, okay. It looks like little chest nuts.

Wow. Perfect perfectly formed.

Oh, wow, it looks like a brain.

I'm scared.

Whoa, that's not what I expected at all.
