The Egg Dog

In my local convenience store was I lurking when I stumbled upon this gem of a snack.

This was not the first time I had seen an egg salad product sitting in the unrefrigerated section of a convenience store. My trained aversion to a potential bacteria hotbed set off alarms, but there was something about the packaging I found disarming. Perhaps it was the way it simply stated its belief in itself.

This egg sandwich is yummy.

Perhaps it was the way in which it subjectively appealed to my curiosity.

Let's bite and taste it.

Perhaps, most importantly, it was the fact that I had only had about ¥110 in change on me.

I was starving and couldn’t afford my regular ¥127 fried chicken.

In any case, so lured was I by the inviting English, I found myself at home soon after, unwrapping my very first egg dog.

Yummy indeed.
