A delicacy, it's the little cushion of flesh between the eye and jaw. Halibut cheek. Wall-eye cheek. Tastes a little like a scallop. Whenever we eat a whole fish, my husband fishes for the cheek. On a little fish it's about the size of a dime.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55789626952061893292011-10-11T11:05:10.318-04:002011-10-11T11:05:10.318-04:00I didn't know that about Japan.

There’s even a blog on the subject: http://deadmaneating.blogspot.com/ <br /><br />And there’s a fun song about a guy on death row ordering two cheeseburgers, fries, and a ton of other food. Can’t find the lyrics right now – anyone else know it?<br /><br />Although of course, as Lucy says, the whole subject does rather turn the stomach. ...Leslie Budewitzhttp://www.lawandfiction.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-52247029600449229152011-10-11T10:27:21.936-04:002011-10-11T10:27:21.936-04:00I think I'd want taquitos and lots and lots of...I think I'd want taquitos and lots and lots of salsa and refried beans. I have a Mexican food addiction.<br /><br />There would have to be dessert, too. And maybe I'd even want to toss in a slice of pizza, some sourdough bread, and a bagel. See, I have a gluten allergy, so real versions of those are forbidden to me. I really miss a good bagel and the sourdough that was omnipresent growing up across from San Francisco.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01033264133869966636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-14356381909489330752011-10-11T09:50:32.426-04:002011-10-11T09:50:32.426-04:00You might be interested to know that in Japan, the...You might be interested to know that in Japan, the only other major industrialized country that still has the death penalty, those on death row are not informed of their execution date, thus there are no last meal requests. Executions are always carried out in the morning. So if a person on death row is not called out to a special room in the morning,the convict will know that he/she is making it through another day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-61215322518673145922011-10-11T09:25:56.702-04:002011-10-11T09:25:56.702-04:00Lots of restaurants here are featuring pork belly....Lots of restaurants here are featuring pork belly.
