You smoke it in a hookah.
But seriously folks, does this fellow come to the food convention every year? I've seen him on TV before.

Turkish ice cream is made from goat milk and mastic resins. It is notable in that it has a much higher melting temperature then regular ice creams. (makes sense in Turkey, I guess)
In turkey it is called salepi dondurma, of which the literal translation of is "Fox testicle ice cream". Mmmmm.......fox testicles.
God, I love wikipedia, it makes you an instant expert on anything.

Why not under 16? At that age and below certainly they are great customers for ice cream and/or all kinds of beverages. zenzen wakaranai.

"Admission is 5,000 yen"
Oh, well, I won't be going. I did go to a FoodEx years ago when someone gave me a ticket.
I've had Turkish ice cream a few times, but it was always vanilla. Where can I get Turkish Rocky Road?
"Why not under 16?"
Heck, that place is crowded enough without thousands of kids running around!

He works in Namja Town in Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, I think, or it's the same company.

Cute girls in bikinis, of course.

Looks like a lot of fun to visit the exhibition. For JPY 5,000 I would expect to snack to my heart's content.

Helter - Don't worry, it probably won't be long.
LoveUSA
I am confused, don't you prefer to see interesting photos instead of girls in bikini?
Sarge
Love - I admit the Turkish ice cream here gives the girls in bikinis a serious challenge!
