You know how you have salted peanuts or hazelnuts on ice cream? similar theory behind the blending of tastes. The savory taste of the naturally brewed soy sauce will also pair nicely with the creaminess of the ice cream.

I was thinking the same, but unlike most people, I wouldn't mind tasting the shoyu ice cream. :mrgreen:

And I still haven't figured out the Japanese fascination with eggs: crack open a raw egg on top of anything and you're guaranteed "ooohs" and "aahhs." :headscratch:

It was kind of funny when that one lady was yelling over to the lady on the other side, "They're cracking the egg open now!!!", "He's mixing it up now!!!"

You'd have thought they were splitting the atom. :crazy: [/list:u]

Hilarious. :hehe:

One of the all-time great comfort foods is tamago rice--crack open a raw egg in a ramen bowl, pour in some shoyu, add hot rice and mix it all up. Ono to da max! (as they say in Hawaii); oishii katta (as my obaa-chan used to say).

^ Ask your obaasan why eggs are so revered... Please? :sweat:

Yeah, it was hard to fathom... Japanese tastes, I suppose.

What cracked me up was when they went to the dairy farm where the milk was made and the guy that runs the farm said he makes sure the cows eat a lot of grass to avoid getting stressed.

How does a cow get stressed?? :crazy: [/list:u]

Cranking out the dairy on a daily basis must take its toll on the poor bovines. :beaten:

Katsudon vs. Tenpura

Spoiler — click to reveal

Katsudon wins 4-3. Pork plus egg, I'm surprised it was this close

But I felt sorry for the one lady that changed sides, then voted for the side she had originally been on and ended up losing.

Man, I totally forgot to watch last night... :banghead:

I'll have to catch the replay at 5 today... :sweat:

Wow, that was a wild episode: one-sided, then people switching sides halfway through, then switching again at the final vote... :sweat:

A very tough call... I guess I would've picked the Katsudon: I guess it's not very often that one gets to eat kurobuta...
