A Japanese 10-year-old has become the youngest person authorized to prepare “fugu” pufferfish — a delicacy that can kill if its poisonous parts are not properly removed.

Fifth grader Karin Tabira passed a test this summer that means she is now certified to slice and gut the fish for consumption.

She recently used her new skills to serve a platter of paper-thin slices of fugu sashimi to the governor of southern Kumamoto region where she lives.

    Different people have different tastes, and some folks are just not going to like certain flavor profiles.

    Within beer though, there is so much variety, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t at least one beer out there that you’d thoroughly enjoy. It’s just not likely worth the effort of finding that one.

      Yeah I thought I didn’t like beer because each year on our camping trip I’d try one but it just tasted like piss. Then one time at a work thing my supervisor ordered a black and tan so I got one to and it was pretty good. Turns out I just liked darker beer than all the light beers my friends would get at camping. Then my beer journey started. I also learned beer on tap at a brewery tastes much much better then anything bottled or canned. After getting into beer I pretty much just got into anything fermented like kombucha, ginger beer, kefir etc

      I’d love to find it because there’s a brewery in my city that has metal music playing there and I’d love to hang out there and meet people, but I never found a beer that I like, and I’d feel cheap ordering rum n coke or anything that’s not beer at a freaking brewery.

        There’s a reason they sell it, dude. The fact that a brewery sells rum and soda is because they realize if you don’t like beer, but your friends do, you might not tag along, and they wouldn’t get an opportunity to sell you anything!
