We went out for teppanyaki and they gave my daughter a ping pong set from China. Thought I would share

I'm dying to read the manual.
Almost like the original Spanish version of the "Got milk?" T-shirts; someone messed up the translation and it came out "Are you lactating?"

I suspect it's minced squid, but I'm not bold enough to find out!
I do not think I would be bold enough for minced squid or miced squab.

Try to avoid stuff made in China.
Wait until the take the "cost" out of it with CF parts.
I've seen some totally hilarious translations over the years. The engrish page is good.

If you asked most Japanese speaking people to say "clap your hands" it would come out sounding like what is written on the side of that box.
We have people rotating in from Japan at my company and one of the new guys asked me for help in creating his American name while he was here. His name in Japaneses was Ryosuke (beginning sounds like Rio). So I said that he should go by "Leo" because his Japanese colleagues called him "Rio" for short and if they were to pronounce the word "Leo" it would sound the same. He thought that was funny and that ended up being the name he selected for his 3 year rotation here.
I point fun at my Japanese brethren, but I couldn't "roll an R" to save my life...
