Food

You have all made me very hungry.

I made these last night

Mashed potato

Pasta

Roasted chicken

Nice!!!

And your mashed potatoes look very buttery .

You just reminded me, the last time in Korea, I passed by a restaurant,

there're some posters with dogs on, distributing some stinky smells.... @_@

What kind of dog do they like to eat? Do you know? :evil:

Mt favorite food is hotdogs

There is a fascinating wikipedia article on the subject..

So apparently, the Korean dog farms raise this type of dog for consumption:

They are called 'Nureongi'

Pretty cute for a livestock dog, don't you think?!!

Ekkk...talk about a good case of culture shock. While i cant come on here and talk about how horrible it easy eating dog considering we consume beef

and India finds them sacred. I just cant come to grips knowing that poor Fido just might be the other white meat on my next dinner.....just

There are so many Nureongi in mainland China, they look really gentle and cute

Ah, well in that case, your wish is my serving.

Happy New Year everybody

I received a 'Japanese gift basket' today. Among the items were a few 'Freeze Dried' Cookies & Cream Ice Cream cones..as in, the type of ice cream astronauts eat...! So I had two for the first time.

It has interesting, cookie-yet- not cookie like 'crumble & melt in your mouth' texture but I must say that I prefer ice cream cones before they are 'freeze-dried'. But anything resembling real ice cream is a + :-D

I have not seen 'freeze-dried' ice cream being sold outside of Japanese supermarkets. With real ice cream widely available over here..I can't imagine seeing this product creating too many customers outside of its novelty value.

Included in the basket were some of these stick snacks:

Others too, but I'm illiterate in Japanese..

What I love about Japanese packaged goods is the sense of aesthetics that goes into the design of even their most common items- both product & packaging. You won't find that level of detail from other mass producers.

That chocolate mushroom is my fave

I always bought it when I was little

What are your favorite Japanese packaged snacks?

I've had these at one point or another :

The wiki implies that they are a 'wilder' sort of canine. I've seen these dogs before in New York and elsewhere...they're just medium sized dogs. As for a livestock dog..well, I was expecting a larger breed :-l
