Sushi for Tots
When I was four years old, my favorite food was tongue. "Do you know what that is?" adults would ask in disbelief. "Yes," I would say, "It's a cow's tongue. So?"
It's never too early to inform your children where their favorite delicacies come from. It's true, little Bobby, your goldfish is more or less what's in that sashimi. Learn to like it.
To ease the process of explaining how sushi is made, now there's this fish-to-sushi plushie, a transforming toy both cuter and more appetizing than Optimus Prime. Easy, cheap, adorable and informative—what could be better? Besides actual sushi, of course. [via Craftzine]

I'm not sure why, but this brought to mind the candy cigarettes of my youth.

LOL so the fish vomits out the rice and seaweed? Nice :)
When I was a kid, besides tongue, I also loved to eat chicken feet (still do), intestines/tripe, and all manners of "strange" foods at dim sum. I will gladly explain to my kids what they're eating and instill in them the same mostly-fearless (I won't eat bugs) attitude I have w/food...
