"Hey, I like food too!"

Even if you are forced into a room with no windows and your worst enemy, there is just one thing that everyone on this earth can agree on, and that great unifier is food. Everyone likes to eat (except anorexics I suppose) and it is the universal bond, perhaps greater than even music! And I only say this because I have actually met people - yes, this is shocking and true - that don't give two shits about music, they are merely content with the trite crap they gladly take in as life's background noise from popular radio stations.

Was that a rant? Anyway, so the other night I went out with my aforementioned new hardcore friend and his wife and her friends and my buddy Jordan. We all went to a Chinese restaurant in Ikebukuro which served vegan and vegetarian cuisine, kind of a rare find out here. Oh, and if you are thinking of that slimy, salty stuff that Americans call Chinese food, well think again, because authentic Chinese is completely different:


Vegetable Flatwheat Noodle Soup... note that that's a quail egg in the corner, and it also had shrimp in it, heh. But it had lots of good seaweed and carrots and other strange vegetables I can't even name in it too.

Fake pork cutlets with various sides. I'll have to try this next time!

I want a picture of me taking a picture of me taking a picture.




Just a quickie for today. Expect more food posts every so often in the future, I can't wait to try raw horse!!!
