hahaha that was a really funny story though, sitting at work, laughing my ass off. My japanese co-worker looked at me in a funny way so I had to explain it to him. He started laughing, too, because he neither knew the real reason why it’s called a ‘baikingu’, though he also said that he remembers it being used mainly in the past and nowadays they’ve grown to use the word ‘buffet’ too. Still a funny history, especially if you’re swed and understand. :D

When i lived in Matsuyama in the mid-90′s, there was a viking restaurant called “The Mayple House” (i.e. Maple.) It was Canadian themed, in the log cabin design, though the only Canadian part of the viking was the all-you-can-drink beer. The cuisine was regular Japanese food. All of the other vikings I saw were summer only, on rooftops, and the attraction was the all-you-can-drink beer (included in the hefty price.)

Yes…I now live in Minnesota and I can tell you that they really do grow ‘em big out here. Could it be all the dairy? Hmmm…

I’ll never look at that Viking ride in Mother 3 the same way again.
