More than 80% of Westerners who I met had in common.
I want to submit the report to the something global food association.
When they talked about ice cream or chocolates, they showed dreamy look on their faces with closing their eyes and said, “Yummy!”
Next they started to insist on the superiority of their favorite ice cream or chocolates, for example, “This is the best in the world!”
Haven't you eaten all of ice cream or chocolates in the world yet?
Funny, huh?

私の出会った欧米人の80%以上に共通点があった。
どこかの世界的な食べ物の協会にレポート提出したいくらいだ。
彼らはアイスクリームかチョコレートの話をするとうっとりと目を閉じて「Yummy!」と言うのだ。
そしてそれがどれだけおいしいか力説しだすのだ。「世界一だよ。」
世界中のアイスやチョコをまだ食べてないでしょうが。
これっておもしろいでしょ?

Good job! :)

Best ice cream store is Cold Stones.

I'm serious!

I'm serious! ← See? You are already Westerner. haha

Westeners also like ice cream with pie or waffles.
When they talk about ice cream or chocolate, their faces are very lively.

In my case, I prefer red bean paste sweets such as おしるこ.

Haha. :) There's a famous restaurant that sells chicken and waffles. Isn't that a weird combination?
Jan 21st 2012 16:13 mikaringo7
To be honest, we don't come up with the combination of chicken and waffles but Japanese women are flexible so we tend to try to eat anything.
Jan 21st 2012 16:37 Sunny
Oh, I'll keep that in mind. It will come in handy if I ever date a Japanese girl again.

私はアイスクリームは好きじゃないんですよね~。ハーゲンダッツでも一口でたくさん。上の方が書いてるCold Stonesも全部食べるのがしんどかった・・・
チョコは好きだけど、日本のものが一番だと思う!それこそ森永の安売りいたチョコでもクォリティ高いと思うんだけど、どうでしょ?

欧米の人はチョコとかアイスとか好きですよね。私の海外の友人の間ではポッキーとハイチュウが人気よ(^^;
Jan 20th 2012 20:12 mikaringo7
私も日本の板チョコが好き。haha
Ally Mcbealでもアリーが寝る前にどでかいアイスを抱えてベッドで食べるシーンに、日本人はこれやらないもんって思ってました。
私、100円のカップアイスでいいもん。(しかも安売り88円の時しか買わない)
Thank you for your comment.

Give me your comment, British gentleman!!

I shall respond to your request my fair Japanese gentlewomen .I agree with you,it is foolish to make such claims until you have sampled every example of a particular product available,and then it would still only be one persons opinion.While I was in Newzealand I came across a Fish and Chip shop (in Manganui) which claimed to sell the best Fish and Chips in the World.In my humble opinion they were not,but maybe I am no judge.What I can say is that it was the best place I've ever eaten fish and chips (beside the sea with the sun setting and a live band playing).What about something that is unique to your area (that is not made anywhere else in the World?) ,that would make it the best in the World,no?http://www.hendersonsrelish.com/home.htm

Thank you for replying my request, British gentleman.
Do you eat Fish and Chips every day as usual? haha
If I go to Your country, you should take your favorite Fish and Chips shop beside the sea with the sun setting and a live band playing. Wonderful!
Jan 23rd 2012 23:16 ichigo
Yes,I eat fish and chips everyday and twice on Sundays!

While in China two French women asked "are you not missing your beans on toast"? I asked them what they were talking about and they said that all English people eat beans on toast everyday.Unfortunately,I had to shatter their illusions (I could see they were very dissappointed to find out it wasn't true).They were young so I cheered them up by saying maybe university students eat beans on toast everyday because its a cheap meal,they went away much happier.

So,as I have no wish to shatter your illusions, I will continue do my best to reinforce them for you!

If I eat ice cream I get diarrhea so I am not part of the 80%. lol

My favorite chocolate is really bitter so it's probably not the best in the world either. =)

Are you really American?
Check your ancestor.
Americans' stomach must be strong!
Jan 22nd 2012 10:48 Joseph
I'm Filipino...

Anyway these people sure like their chain ice cream.
My favorite ice cream store closed down.
I used to make my own homemade ice cream until my stomach became weak.
I even made ほうじ茶 ice cream once.
Jan 21st 2012 18:09 Curl

I'm not sure if I am among the 80%,but...

America's ice cream is the best in the world, that is a fact.

"Ben and Jerry's" ice creme is the greatest invention since the wheel.


Jan 22nd 2012 09:23 mikaringo7
There are some Cold Stones shops in Japan.
This is a Sunny's recommended shop so I am trying to eat it soon.
Ben and Jerry's? I will check it later.
I know a famous cartoon “Tom and Jerry” though.

America's ice cream is the best in the world, that is a fact.

You are exactly among the 80% haha
Thank you for your comment.

You could say "the something global food association" if you've forgotten a word.

"The Pan-Continental Global Food Association"--> "The Something Something Food Association"

(It's like 〜 for when you forget a word.)

Something is convenient, isn't it?
Thank you for the advice.
Oh, you always do that?
This manga is the best in the world! Right? haha
