At first sight 3 completely random pictures of food. In hindsight, the circumstances surrounding these pictures have taught me a great deal about food.
The first one comprises an evening meal. Yes that was one of the meals I had for dinner. Why would one eat something like that when you can go to one of the many convenience stores or cheap eating establishments? I failed to look at the expiration date when I bought the bread. It was the same date as the date I bought it. As punishment for being ignorant, I decided to finish the loaf by the end of the day. Using only stuff I had in my fridge, the exceptional plainness that is this slice of bread, tonkatsu sauce and cabbage was the result of my creativity. The lesson leant: tonkatsu sauce goes pretty much with anything.
The second one was taken at a Korean restaurant. The menu was entirely in Korean with Japanese phonetics in katakana. The one thing I could read was “Summer specials”. I decided to take one of those, XL size. I could’ve asked what is was but I was so hungry it didn’t really matter. The waitress looked slightly puzzled upon ordering. It took a while but the huge bowl shown in the picture was what I got. As my evening meal that is. The lesson here: gummy candy and suger frosted corn flakes go very well with ice cream.
The last one was taken after cracking an egg open I bought at the local supermarket. I bought this little box of 4 eggs without really paying attention to what was written on it. After all, eggs are eggs right? Not much can go wrong there… until you buy the one kind that is pre-half-boiled for lazy people. I decided to just dump it in my okonomiyaki mix and use it as an extra ingredient. The third lesson: Making okonomiyaki is an excellent opportunity to dump leftovers, it will taste great whatever and how old it may be.
