Just a nitpick, but the transliteration from the Japanese

"Fuk-u-shima" tempts me to say, "Same to you, shima!"

Hope This Helps!

I worked for a Japanese company. My direct supervisor's last name was
"Shima". I prefer Fuk-U-Shima.

I used to visit one of our company's factories in Fukui. I really had
to watch my mouth with that one...

Fuku burgers are the best.

Mmmmmm...'dem Fuku Pig Burgers look yummy. Is that ketchup or blood
drooling down the side?

I think that's the company that supplied the burgers for our cafeteria at
Michigan State. "You want to know what's in that burger? Fuku!"

Gawd....

This is serious: At Michigan State, our cafeteria burgers (back in the '60s)
came from cows from our Research Farm. No kidding. They had a two-headed
calf out there, and a cow with a glass window in its stomach, so you could
watch it digest its food. They also raised herds of more-or-less normal cows
that, we hoped, were the ones they slaughtered for our burgers, although
they never told us what kind of "research" they had been subjected to.

The two-headed calf was good for the tongue market, I suppose. As for
watching the glass-windowed stomach...well, there wasn't a lot to do in the
middle of Michigan, and we needed something to do on a date that would get
the milkmaids excited. It was amazing how many couples would show up at the
barn on a Friday night.

We also had a research project going on that attempted to learn how much soy
meal we could tolerate in a burger. If we volunteered, we got all of the
free burgers we could eat. We couldn't drop out...if we couldn't eat the
burgers, we still had to show up, take at least one bite, and report how
much we liked them -- or not.

They started at 10% soy meal, and then ramped it up every two or three days,
IIRC. Up to around 30%, they were good. At 40%, they started to taste like
wet newspaper. By the time they reached 70%, the trick was to keep from
barfing. They went all the way to 90%.

For months after that, I couldn't eat a burger. I'd turn green just looking
at them. I still won't eat tofu.
