I met a couple from Sweden who called Folgers "Prisoner Coffee." They said that was because it was the cheapest coffee their prison system could find to serve to the inmates...

In all the years that I've been living in Japan,
I have NEVER seen a single restaurant that serves whale meat. And I've looked! From what I've been told, almost 98% of it gets exported to Europe! I would really love to know the real facts...
Somebody, somewhere must have accurate information, but I sure can't find any! The Internet is full of 'facts' about it that get disputed left and right. I hear about the whaling ships from news sources, I hear about restaurants selling the stuff from new sources outside of Japan, but it must be hidden even better than recreational drugs or bullets (the penalty for possession of even one marijuana seed is 5 years in jail, no parole, and possession of a bullet [not the gun, just the bullet] is even longer) because no matter how hard I've looked, I can only find 'written' evidence of whale meat being sold, never the actual meat. It makes me wonder...
