Whoa.. Unless it was film in 1960, how can they manage to make money with a price so low? :nut:

Anyone's interested to cook something with vanilla extract?

Japanese woman who produced vanilla from cow dung wins Ig Nobel Prize

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts -- Mayu Yamamoto, a Japanese researcher who developed a way to extract a vanilla fragrance and flavor from cow dung, has been awarded an Ig Nobel Prize for her efforts.

Yamamoto, 26, was given the Ig Nobel Prize for Chemistry at the award ceremony held at Harvard University on Thursday night. She is the 12th Japanese person to have been awarded an Ig-Nobel Prize.

Yamamoto developed vanillin -- vanilla flavoring and fragrance -- from cow dung, earning her the award. The magazine "Annals of Improbable Research" sponsors the Ig Nobel Prize every year. The Ig Nobel Prizes are a spoof of the Nobel Prizes for achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think."

In Haken no Hinkaku the super haken, Ohmae Haruko (Shinohara Ryoko), always have the mackeral set for lunch which costs JPY500. It is possible to find good and cheap food in small restaurants during lunch hour.

yes, traditionally lunch can often cost 3 to 4 times LESS than a dinner at the same restaurant in Japan.

nevertheless a lunch set of fish for 500 Yen is astoundingly inexpensive..like that ebi fry teishoku i mentioned....in the States you could get a crappy hamburger, fries, and a coke for the same price.
