Japanese Meat And Potatoes

Just before lunch today, I asked some students what we were having.

I was happy to hear the answer: "Niku jaga."

Even though we had niku jaga just over a month ago, it's actually pretty good, so I don't mind the quick repeat.


Since I really like potatoes, I purposely grabbed a bowl that was full of them. After finishing the dish, I also went back for seconds.

Niku jaga is not the most delicious food in the world, but there's nothing scary in it.

Too bad I can't say the same about the salad. I quickly gave that away, since it came with plenty of katsuobushi, which I don't like at all.

I did down my soup, however, but that, too, had something unpleasant it it: two pieces of mochi. That's probably the last time I ever eat the stuff. It's almost like eating ultra-chewy, flavorless chewing gum. I don't see the point of that.

Luckily, I started with the mochi and ended with the potatoes, so at least the meal ended on a strong note.

Total points: 6
