laurainlimbo at 06:23pm on 29/03/2011 under food, japanese food, life in japan, school lunchI forgot to post the pictures I took of my last week's worth of school lunches. Some of these were actually quite good, but honestly I won't miss these lunches. It was always a mystery what I'd get, and sometimes the quantity was just too much. My system is doing so much better now that I'm eating light lunches at home.
Anyway - it was a very interesting experience. here's pics (no clickable thumbnails this time) of my last school lunches, with explanations, below a cut:
Vegetable curry with rice, fried chicken, corn and spinach salad with cheese (very delicious!), milk and very weak green tea:
Fried fish, some kind of salad with seaweed and beans (not very delicious), miso soup, rice, and a strawberry, and milk (I didn't get tea this day):
Yakisoba, melon bread (yummy!!), fruit with yogurt, and milk:
Oden (daikon radish, pork, vegetables and tofu in a fish soup stock - not delicious at all!), rice with nanohana furikake (nanohana is a flower in English called "rapeseed" and furikake is topping for rice, usually made with seaweed and dried fish and egg - this furikake was delicious!!!), two strawberries (wow), milk and green tea:
Omelette with rice (under the omelette is red rice, made with ketchup and seasonings), salad with daikon radish, celery and cucumber (delicious), miso soup, and a strawberry tart (yummy!), and milk and tea:
And the last school lunch, on my last day of teaching at the junior high was a special one. they served fried "katsu" (pork) for luck (for the graduates) because Katsu in Japanese also means "to win"; "ebi fry" (fried shrimp), "sekihan" (rice with red beans) with "goma" (sesame), which is also served at special occasions (this time, graduation), some strange soup with tofu and something else (not very delicious), a slice of melon, milk (of course) and green tea:
My favorite of these was the omelette with rice, and perhaps the last day since I love fried pork and fried shrimp, and I also like sekihan. it's very tasty!
Hope you enjoyed that slice of Japanese food-life!
