Today's meal was "niku jagga," which basically means meat (niku) and potatoes (jagga).
Whenever we have niku jagga, I always ask someone, "Who's the lead singer for the Rolling Stones?" Most of them don't know the answer, but occasionally someone does.
The answer of course, is Mick Jagger.
Get it?
As the server was dishing up my "Mick Jagger," I whispered to myself, "Give me a lot of potatoes, please." It worked. Kind of.
Anyway, the potatoes were fine, but as usual for this dish, the meat was "stringy." I did have seconds, though, since I was pretty hungry.
Before I had the main dish, I ate the okra. I was surprised that it was served cold. I wasn't surprised that it seemed to be lacking in flavor.
As for the soup, well, a couple of girls I was sitting with started talking about the mochi that was in it and what color it was and all that jazz. The one girl seemed to be especially interested in them rice cakes. Since I wasn't, I offered her mine. Before she could get them out of my bowl, however, I told her she could have the whole thing. That took her a while to understand, but she finally got it. That was one less bowl that I had to worry about.
What this meal desperately needed was some background music (by the Stones, of course) to spice it up!
Total points: 5
