A bit of holiday cheer from the Vie de France bakery I thought you might enjoy: "Weiner in Christmas Wreath," although the Japanese name is simply "Weiner Wreath." It's a circle of dough with cocktail weiners stuffed around the edge. Um, how Christmas-y.
(I know I am now dooming myself to a million hits from people searching for porn involving weiners and wreaths, but it's worth it. Anyway, the kind of person who would look for porn by Googling "weiner" can't be all that bad.)

I could go for one of those weiner wreaths with my bucket of Colonel Sanders for sure! Happy Holidays!!

That's great! Don't know if it would be at the top of my holiday foods list though. Glad to see that you're getting out and haven't slipped into a more serious kotatsu coma. Going home soon?

We love you Japan, even though your idea of what constitutes Western food is sometimes questionable and should be labeled NC17.

hello, i was just searching "wiener" and stumbled across this little treasure of a site. although there are apparently no other wieners to be found on gjp (please correct me if i'm wrong), i enjoy your humorous musings and muted color scheme. now if you'll excuse me, i have some time on my hands and need to google search "tinkle".

That's hilarious! Stumbled across your blog (not by googling wiener;) several months ago and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing your Japanese adventures with all of us!

Hey, I pencilled picking you up on my to do list. In exchange I'd like a weiner wreath or the equivalent allowed past customs (i love pastries).
