Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Yeah, well when the inlaws serve fish-head soup (eat the jaw meat!) or okaiyu with raw eggs, they always put a pack of Pole Weiners at my place setting. No way I'm going to eat Tai head or plain rice/egg soup (unless the taste is killed with a lot of Togorashi).

My grandfather used to love eating fried fish eye. My grandmother would fry fish and at some point, the eye would pop out and she would fry that just a bit and put it aside for my grandfather to eat later with his rice. Eww...

My mother used to give us raw egg over hot rice when we were kids. She'd put a little bit of shoyu over it to make it taste better.

I love natto, despite what others (especially my husband) thinks of it. My husband is born/raised in Scotland and since we're living in Glasgow, we have to travel quite a bit just to find good Japanese food to eat (it's very expensive) or to buy for the flat. I love tofu too...but have to wait until the next trip to the big Chinese supermarket just to get it, which isn't very often.

My husband and I love to eat at a place called "Ichi-Ban" in Glasgow City Centre. I think it has the best authentic Japanese food in Scotland...but again, so expensive so we only go there once in a while as a treat.

I also love fried kabocha.

I'm missing me some good Japanese food now... :puppydog:

well you can only eat so many of those....but no matter since i rarely eat gyoza at home....i am sufficiently excited to eat them when i eat ramen at a restaurant...which really is not very often.

I gotta have my weekly dose... It's the only day I eat rice.
