ME: (pointing at a sauce-covered something on my tray) What's this?
Lunchroom Lady: Oishii mono (literally, "a delicious thing")
ME: Is it meat?
LL: Yes.
ME: What kind of meat?
LL: Liver
ME: (trying not to grimace) What? Beef liver? Chicken liver?
LL: Nope, beef liver is dangerous right now. Its pig's liver. Can you eat it?
I wanted to say "Not without gagging" but instead I mumbled a "Sure, no problem."
It turned out to be not as terrible as I expeceted (and better than beef liver), and I managed to eat it all, alternating bites with the egg-salad sandwiches, but I would never go so far as to call pig's liver a delicious thing.
