So, it wasn't the song of a cockroach or creaky air-conditioner but a bell cricket (鈴虫) hiding in the lampshade above us in the living room…

stuartcw on A Salon food blogger writes about eating horse meat in Mongolia. Ever tried it — cooked or as basashi — in Japan?

Basashi with soy sauce and ginger is great. In the UK, at least, eating horse is taboo. It's thought to be only good for dog food but actually it doesn't taste much different to raw beef. I think it became a taboo food because in the past, if a farmer ate his horse he was probably desperate for food. Without a horse he wouldn't have a beast of burden to pull a plough or transport to go to market. Thus it became synonymous with the last food that you would want to eat. It's not that commonly available but you do see it occasionally on an Izekaya menu. I ate Chicken Sashimi salad once at a dinner with In-Laws. Now, that really felt like something you shouldn't eat. Predictably, I got terrible food poisoning and was sick for days later. Noone else who ate the chicken was affected at all...
