Chef Stitch

[tikistitch]

Speaking of vittles (we're getting hungry) this is a big old plushie from a Japanese outfit called Parma Ham. Amusingly, the translation program called it "meat packers Stitch."



Those of us who know us from our dollieh days know we also have a Parma Ham Licca-chan somewheres. Like that item, this was evidently some kind of mail in offer.

I don't mind - it's from Japan. It was some kind of premium if you mailed in coupons. It's pretty easy to find on Yahoo Japan auctions. I'm assuming you're located in the US?

Oh ok, not sure if I'll be able to find one and order one there, and yes, I'm in the US. Thanks for the reply.

Briefly, there are agents that will buy stuff for you on Japanese auction boards for a fee. I'd be happy to send links if you're interested, but it's not a matter of just pointing and clicking and buying something, and it can get a bit expensive. They've actually done a couple of pretty cute Chef Stitch plushies in Japan. See for instance the guy in the lower right in this photo:

I've seen him from time to time turn up on eBay.
