Tak and Koshi, the gourmets

Ok, the octopuz king can take a break. Many of us know from past translated dialogs that Tak pays great attention to his FOOD. He praised at length about a certain (was it fish?) MOS Burger and even got Koshi eating them too.
Here's a passage from Bewith vol.28, long interview with B'z about their photo/video shooting trip to Italia in 1995 after the release of "LOOSE". Apparently before they were scheduled to meet in Italia, Koshi went to Egypt first while Tak and the entourage travelled through Italia for many days.

Bewith How was the food in Italia?
Tak Mou saikou datta ne! Everywhere was great. When I go abroad, I usually can't adjust to the food. On this trip for two weeks, only 3 times I didn't eat anything Italian.
Koshi Mezurashii ne.
Tak Zutto Italian. Japanese food only once. Eee? Twice? (confirming with manager) Ah, also Chinese food... Oh, more than once? (laugh) So more than 3 times then. But almost all the time Italian!
Bewith What was delicious?
Koshi Raw ham!
Tak Melon raw ham!
Bewith Melon raw ham!!!
Koshi When I met them, Matsumoto-san was already in the state of living the full Italian glory. It seemed perfectly natural for him to not be doubtful about melon raw ham. I thought, 'This guy has really fallen for it...' He didn't even look at the menu and said, "Ore, melon raw ham!"
Tak I went to hotels in Japan a lot and they have that for entrees. At that time I thought, 'What the heck is melon raw ham'
Koshi Melon is probably very cheap there.
Tak First I thought kimochi warui, but for me it gradually becomes so delicious.

After the Italian trip, B'z went home and Koshi went to Hongkong.
Bewith You went to Hongkong right after Italia?
Koshi A, boku? Yumcha!! (= dimsum)
Bewith You went to Hongkong just for Yumcha?!
Koshi I came home after my stomach became like this (gesturing I'm-so-full). Like pregnant! I can't button up one of my buttons!
Bewith You ate too much. But with Yumcha, everything is little and small, we usually wanna eat every single thing.
Koshi Un, can't control myself (laugh) when it comes to Italian or Chinese food. Even with the many kinds of Chinese food, I think any Chinese food is really delicious. And Hongkong is so near.
