Meal 111 - December 21st - Asian Fish, Miso Noodles and Crunchy Veg
So after pigging out for lunch on our camembert parcels, Lolz decided that it would make sense to go for something a bit healthier for dinner and, having downgraded her seafood fussiness from all seafood to just shellfish, decided that this Asian fish number might fit the bill. It was a brave choice as, aside from being quite calorific when you actually look at the small print, it looked kind of weird in the picture. The fish looked greasy and wet and slimy and generally unappetizing.

Green Tea Salmon, Coconut Rice and Miso Greens
Meal 78 - September 17th - Green Tea Salmon, Coconut Rice and Miso Greens
I don't often venture east on my holidays but a few years ago I went to Japan where I got to experience all the culinary weird-and-wonderful-ness that they have to offer. My staple diet on that trip, like that of most Japanese people, was rice, noodles and soup. There were however two paticular things that stick out in my mind. One is staying at a ryokan in Kyoto where the proprietor (who was also the chef) insisted on cooking us a "Western" style breakfast every morning. His interpretation of a Western style breakfast would be, for example, a boiled egg with some chopped tomato and a side of sliced apple. Individually, all the elements would be quite typical "western" foods, but they would be things that you would never typically put together. Despite all the amazing, fresh, cheap sushi I ate, those breakfasts were probably the culinary highlight of the trip. The other is that everything seemed to be available in green tea flavour.
