Fin-based feast?

Having guests over soon but not sure what to feed them? Looking to impress somebody special with an exotic and elaborate dinner? If so, purchasing this whopping shark fin and knocking out some soup could be the perfect option.

A snip at only 1,260,000 yen (6,000 pound).

Plus between dinner parties you could always ease the concerns of ecologically minded friends by passing it off as an elephant’s ear.

Meaty meal?

How exactly the dish below is prepared and what ingredients are included isn’t clear, which is perhaps just as well.

cocked rice

Not that it deterred many of the customers mind you, although for a few of them it was a toss up between the cocked rice and spotted dick.

Coffee categorization

Considering the name of the drink below, what image could be more appropriate in summing up its apparent origin than, erm, a busty young lady lying lasciviously on a car bonnet? The stars and stripes in the background presumably added as an afterthought for those somehow unable to grasp the connection.

Rather surprisingly, the company’s ‘English Tea’ brand featuring a bowler hat and pin-stripe wearing businessman sat primly atop a mini was sold out — hence the lack of a picture.
