The Onion reports from Iowa that 16-year-old Japanese exchange student Takashi Miyazawa was taken by Bobbie and Bill Tucker, his host parents, to a restaurant named Edo in order to experience some authentic Japanese culture. The outing marked the first time any of the Tuckers had eaten Japanese food. It was Miyazawa’s 18,358th time.
