Pre-Packed Fish Breakfast and the Mighty Enlightenment · 20 October 06

I’d been eating the stay-fresh fish wrapper along with the fish. I realized this half-way through pre-packed fish breakfast.

I realized it was why the fish was no good.
I realized it was why the fish was no good last time.

A Resolution: Never shall I eat the stay-fresh fish wrapper again.

For I am a strong-willed man who does as he says. *

* When it comes to not eating the stay-fresh fish wrapper.

META-SIDENOTE: I wish the first sentence of this entry were metaphorical. Like the false-narrative opening of an inspirational business management book called, “Stop Eating The Fish-Wrapper! : How To Cut Wasteful Actions And Maximize Life Efficiency”.

Alas, it’s literal. And my stomach feels weird.

  1. Consuming stay-fresh fish wrappers along with pre-packed fish breakfasts is a phenomenon which, inexplicably, has yet to reach the States. I am cautious though not to eat the children’s toys that come inside my favorite boxes of cereal.

  2. MW – I can just picture you writing that comment and chuckling as you do so. Which makes me smile. Thanks:)
    Do we even have pre-packed fish breakfasts available in the States (with or without stay-fresh wrapper)?

  6. Oh, but Japanese pre-packaged food is unbelievably fresh and delicious. There’s killer plastic wrapped goods at every 7-11. None of that year-old concrete fake burrito stuff, I’m talking fresh salads daily.

    AP: Yes, I am a clown. In my defense, the wrapper looks just like fish skin. No, really, I swear! Maybe I’ll buy more and post pictures…

    Andy: No math allowed. Unless it’s fuzzy. We like the fuzzy kind.

  8. Hi i am a friend of a friend (Justin Brandon), who gave me a link to ur site. I am a fellow aspiring filmmaker in Japan teaching English (apparently there are many of us filmmakers here) but just dropping by to say whats up. if you need any help on future projects, no matter what they are, i’d be more than willing to give free help (the two sweetest words in the english language). cheap sushi is better for you than packaging.
