Botan


Finished the day off with a trip to Kanda for a traditional meal of 'chicken sukiyaki, served in the old style'. 'Old style' meant that the food was bought raw to the table (well floor/table) and cooked by a traditionally dressed japanese woman. Got a bit confused by the dish of raw egg put in front of us but it turned out that was to dip the ridiculously large amounts of cooked meat, tofu and vegetables in before eating them - so that was alright.
Not eating again this trip.

Raw egg and meat eh? Bob & Edith have asked me to ask you if you could bring a catty bag home with you as it sounds right tasty!
They particularly want to recommend raw fish (or sushi as your new friends call it).
Wouldn't you rather have a packet of Seabrook's bacon & brown sauce?

i've just looked up the word 'sukiyaki' and the simple translation reads "of or pertaining to a birds arsehole"
It's really futuristic the way they bring the bowl of food with a tray to let loose a relaxing shit.
