STATIONED with the Army near Tokyo, I taught a conversational English class to a group of Japanese businessmen. Wishing to acquaint me with their cuisine, my class took me to dinner at a local restaurant. I've never enjoyed seafood, and my hosts noticed my lack of enthusiasm when the odd assortment of raw and cooked fish was served. Intent on saving the evening, one man asked if I'd like a pizza. I accepted with delight. Soon a smiling waitress came to our table and placed before me a large, hot pizza - piled high with squid.
