• Foreign Food Friday … or Monday?

  This a peach dessert サプリ…umm, that’s meant to be an English word, or from another European language, but like many Katakana words, I totally can’t guess it … supper, perhaps?

  Anyway, it’s peach pieces (nice) with, umm, well, likely peach sorbet or some other fruit sorbet. A little grainy and icy, but pretty normal so far. Then we get to the unusual aspect: natural unsweetened yoghurt matched with colourless very sweet jelly and sweet green goo … A rather odd combination, in this Westerner’s opinion, but quite edible (unless you don’t like the texture of the jelly).

  From Denny’s, which fast became our favourite restaurant here. Who’d have thought I’d have bread cravings? (I hate sandwiches, toast, cereals … spent my life looking for alternatives). Oh, and importantly in Japan, Denny’s serves of meat are at least ok sized. I’ve never been to Denny’s USA, I thought it was only junk food like MacDonald’s, but I really like Denny’s Japan.

• This is what I miss about Japan: things that just fit back into their boxes, with no trouble, clear instructions which way up... *sigh* 07:55:05 am 04 February 2012 from TweetDeck
