Oh, oops, I guess I had alligator and not crocodile.
So … you’ll eat fugu but not a hot dog from a street vendor?

Strawberry Pocky is the BEST! Unfortunately, I quit eating it when I found out it’s made in China.
I think I’ll give this one a whirl…right after I look up a few of the items that I don’t recognize.

Pocky is traditionally Japanese, but there are some knock-offs made in China and Malaysia. You don’t have to give up Pocky altogether, you just need to look for Pocky manufactured by Ezaki Glico — those should be a product of Japan.

Thanks Courtney! Nobody sells it here, but SME would keep us supplied. I’ll tell her to look for Japanese Pocky.

Okay, I’m scaring myself. Almost the only thing I’ve eaten on that list is the thing you crossed out!
