The end of the year party is an annual event in Japan. People from the office, people interested in the same subject, or just friends get together and enjoy eating, drinking and chatting.
Today, I attended one of the parties, the members of which were unusual. The common interest of them was a desire to eat "fugu", balloon fish. There were OPD nurses, care workers and some patients too. One of us recorded the dishes in the following URL: http://homepage2.nifty.com/zebo/etc/2008-12-21/index.html
Fugu has the poison that could kill people and I sometimes hear the news that tells us of an accident when someone died after eating fugu. It is delicious, though. If it was prepared by a qualified and registerd cook, fugu is safe food.
Have you tried it?
