I'm not sure if I should post this in the FOOD thread or in the LEARN JAPANESE thread, lol.
I was told that katsu-don is used sometimes as a symbol for "win" because the Japanese word for "win" is very similar. Am I missing something?

Katsu (godan conjugation, hiragana ‚©‚Â) is the equivalent of the infinitive verb "to win" therefore the connection.

Police Break Up Violent Doughnut Crime Ring In Greece

[image]

THESSALONIKI, Greece -- It took an undercover operation, but Greek police have blown a hole in a ring of alleged crooks who had cornered the doughnut market in a beach resort.

It started with complaints that two Bulgarian men and a former Greek wrestling champion were using violence to choke off the trade by other doughnut vendors on Paliouri beach in the Halkidiki peninsula near Thessaloniki.

So an undercover officer posed as a doughnut seller, police said Tuesday, and he was attacked, leading to the arrest of the three aggressive doughnut sellers.

As a result, they have been charged with blackmail and fraud. They also were charged with food safety violations after police found they had stashed their product in an abandoned hotel that was open to the elements and used by bathers as a toilet.

Enter the weird.

Cherkees \ Beef Jerky Potato Chips

[image]

Herefs the elevator pitch, beef jerky meets potato chips. Cherkees are beef jerky flavor without the chew, potato crisps with real bits of beef in them, keeping the look and flavor of beef jerky but with the crunch of a potato chip. The brand stresses that these are not beef jerky flavored potato chips, but in fact beef jerky and potato chips in one complete bite.

Much like traditional jerky, Cherkees are low-fat, high-protein, and are not fried. They have less than a third the fat of traditional potato chips and 12 grams of protein per serving. The new chips come in several jump-off flavors including: Hot Pepper, Teriyaki, Cracked Pepper and Smokehouse. ($4.99 – $9.99 @ RowanLane)

Maybe the recipe is there. ;)

My buddy and I ate at Berlin Currywurst today in the Silver Lake area. My first time there. They serve German sausages with a curry sauce typical of Berlin, Germany, hence the name. It's more of a fast food type snack than anything.

I had the Paprikawurst (all natural pork with paprika & garlic) which comes with German style farmer's bread and split an order of their natural, organic hand cut fries that are served with mayo or ketchup in bottles for one to use if and how you wish. Fries, with the skin on, were really tasty.

Good stuff. But if you are hungry not truly a meal in terms of the portion.
