A Tale of Two Breakfasts





Moshi, Moshi students,

This will be short. It is a contest. The first student to correctly match the desciption of a food item in the Japanese breakfast to the list on this entry will win a little gift from Japan when I return.

Look at the pictures closely. I know you can tell which is the the American breakfast even though there are some atypical items included. The other, of course, is Japanese. Here are the items (yes, I know 2 are covered---you will have to guess from the list as to what they could be):
1. miso soup
2. grilled fish
3. honeydew melon
4. pickled plum
5. green tea
6. taro pudding
7. mixed vegetable with mushrooms
8. salad
9. potato salad

Use the location to give me the answers. For example, the covered dish on the right has eggplant in it.

Now guess which one I ate.

gud-do rak! (good luck)

  2. You were correct in naming the the items for the picture that you saw. There is now another picture in the same blog---I'll explain sometime. You still win a prize.

    I ate the Western breakfast. I've been switching back and forth, becasue both are good, but I just can't do the Japanese all the time.

  3. I think I could eat some of both but certainly not all of each (does that make sense?) Grilled fish for breakfast would be difficult to stomach. Whatever the creamy dish with raspberry-looking sauce is looks like a winner!
