The story was that Abe made sure that there was a hamburger for President Trump, which was very thoughtful.

Technically you are right per Wikipedia definition of Mutton. But growing up in India in the 1950’s, they called all meat Mutton. And I was only in my teens then, but I distinctly remember, it was meat from goats. On big occasions such as a wedding in the family, my parents would buy a live goat and have a butcher come to our home to process the meat. Slitting throat of a live goat is a memory which is seared in my brain. It was gut wrenching to watch. It was definitely goats and not sheep. Goats were ubiquitous in my part of country, I never saw a sheep on our farms.

I suppose Goats are much easier to raise in the dry & hot climate where we lived. Sheep, with all their hair may not do well in that climate. IJDK.

The food was fine; Pres Bush was ill;

The story was he had Graves disease.

Steaks are at their tastiest and most tender at medium rare; at rare the heat hasn't had a chance to dissolve the collagen.

Try Sou vide.

more tender meat.

It's all tender when you grind it.

Sushi is incredibly filling - especially if you are a heathen and eat nothing but rolls dripping in soy sauce.

In their defense, McDonalds does have good soft drinks, ice tea, coffee, and vanilla cones — all for around a buck.

But yeah, the food . . .

I have and it's great, but I can do just as well grilling low and slow, and I actually prefer the mouth feel of medium rare over rare.

Actually I don't like anything anymore just eat because I have to. I do Atkins off and on and really get tired of steak, tastes awful to me. Everyone brags about Costco beef but it is the worst choice for me as to taste and tenderness. Sucks to get old.

Finally, they have found a reason to impeach him!

Liberals elated.

NYT to run series on Japanese food.

CNN to show footing of Trump sneering at sushi and eating hamburger in front of PM Abe. Hides scenes of Abe eating Big Mac.

It's a pity that he didn't have some Kobe beef, which along with Matsusaka beef, Ōmi beef and Yonezawa beef are some of the best beef in the world. Some varieties of Argentinian beef are also superb. The US cattle industry has spent a lot of money to prevent their being imported into the US. Most Americans typically only get to eat them in Europe, unless they go to Japan.

Impeach him!

I would have done the same. Smart man, my president.

I remember when Bush I threw up at a dinner party in Japan. Supposedly he was sick but...

Raw fish gives me the heebeegeebees. I don’t touch it.

[JudgemAll]

Good point. Might also mention Maduro eating pastries while the rest starve. A hamburger is no big deal

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I’m like him, I won’t eat anything unless it’s cooked like hell. I don’t need tapeworms. Those things live in you for 25 years and can grow to 55 feet and they damage your liver and brain. No thank you, keep your raw fish.

“Japan might be routinely hailed as one of the best places in the world for food”

In all my travels I rate it as the worst.
