WRONG!

Miso ramen + Gyoza + waitress that recognizes you = Muthafkn Win! :mrgreen:

I stand corrected. :bow:

That right there is a great picture, and why I like the Japanese gyoza a little more than the Chinese potsticker. While the potsticker concentrates on filling, the gyoza is all about the wrapper.

Yeah, I don't know what the hell I was smoking.

Or drinking. :mrgreen:

Or maybe you got hypnotized by one of the workers there?

Intrigued and hungry I gave it a shot. I noticed that "American Morning" was no. 1 so I chose that. The AM consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon and ketchup topping. Being an American, my expectations were high and I knew I was in for a delight. WRONG!!!!!!! My initial reaction when I bit into one was "WTF!!!" Totally disgusting and I was actually pissed off at myself for gambling on America. I threw the ish away because it tasted like a nasty corn dog with runny scrambled eggs. I dare not try the California Breeze. :beaten:

Wow. Thanks for sharing notwithstanding the less than appetizing experience you had :beaten: That does look pretty funky I'll admit... :sweat:

I see what you're saying. The ramen shop I ate those gyoza at did a good job with the whole stream fry thing...so as to have a nice crispy crust on the one hand without the gyoza skin being too dried out.

I'm sure those who frequent this board who actually reside in Japan could show even more delectable examples.

Here's an old pic of some gyoza I ate last year at this ramen shop in Kyoto called Takaraya

It's a conditioned response, methinks. :)

I shared this Prosciutto di Parma, rucola, tomato & mozzarella pizza with a friend for lunch today.

Husband calls it rabbit food.

weeds.

Hehe. Yeah because arugula is fresh, it's not baked with the pie.

Yup.

Seems more like a garnish... But I think the hint of peppery-ness of the arugula would blend well with the other items. :victory:
