A month of kyushoku - part 3

And the third week's food is here to tempt your tastebuds...


13 February
The plate was oden. It contained tofu, carrot and daikon (a mild raddish) which were all ok. There were also quail eggs, rounds of processed fish, and konyaku (appropriately known in English as Devil's Tounge). These parts were not edible.

The greens had dried bonito (a kind of fish) mixed through them, which completely destroyed what flavour they had. The rice had a small proportion of of whole wheat, mixed in with it, which doesn't taste as good as plain rice, but I suppose it must be healthier. There was actually a long narrow whole fish served up on the rice, but I accidentally gave it away to Dave before I took the photo.

Rating: 1/5

The vegetables were rather uninspired, the rice was curried but a bit dry, the creamed soup was rather nice.

Rating: 3/5


15 February

Vegetable soup with bits of pork. Weird fry of corn, carrots onion and bits of highly processed sausage meat. Plain bread roll. Nice.

Rating: 4/5


16 February
 The rice had bits of meat and vegetables mixed in, the soup was a simple vegetable and pork soup, and the mung bean fry was edible

Rating: 4/5


17 February
The vegetable soup was ok. The bread roll was made with rice flour, which makes it really soft. These bread rolls are a rare treat, and are very popular, though personally I prefer the standard ones. To the right is a mandarin flavoured jelly. I ate in the classroom, and stole a girl's jelly when she wasn't looking, and then blamed it on another girl, who was kind enough not to dob me in. It was hilarious (don't worry, I gave it back).

In case you want a close-up of the fish bowl, see below. I gave mine away without tasting it.



Rating: 4/5 (only because there was jelly)
