food
Below are phots of some of the HEARTY and JOYFUL foods that M, M and I ate while in Kochi, Japan, a couple of weeks ago.
Katsukare. After-tennis food -- Japanese version of Indian curry (this one sevred with a crumbed pork cutlet) that is almost but not quite entirely unlike Indian curry (apologies to D Adams) ... good though, in its own special way.
Katsudon (crumbed pork cutlet on rice with egg mixed through it).
Okonomiyaki (sort of a cross between a pizza and a pancake, these with cabbage, cheese, pork, squid, prawns).
Katsuo tataki (regional specialty -- bonito flame-cooked over a straw fire, just to sear the edges).
... and katsuo tataki being cooked.
Little fish (which I didn't eat, but I like the photo ... ooooh ... repeating patterns ... oooh ... few colours ... ooooh ...).
Sui gyoza (pork dumplings, steamed and served in broth; usually fried and eaten with ramen noodles).
Ramen noodles.
Man cooking ramen noodles.
And here is a photo of the food I returned to, in my work cafeteria:
Entirely unlike shepherd's pie. And guaranteed TEPID. Mmmm.
Ah well. As Ned Kelly supposedly said, such is life. And I think our situations are comparable.

And it gets sucher and sucher.

After seeing the TEPID shep. pie, I finally understand the need for double-triple flush action.

I love your photos, Womb.
Thanks Digs. Could do with a shot of chicken rice, mind. Nice link...
