By the way,
A is a me.
B is a foreigner.
A: For breakfast on the 24th, I bought a curry-flavored paste to put on bread and I ate it on bread.
B: How was it?
A: So-so. I don't think I'll buy it again.
The ordinary curry bread be sold everywhere in Japan is better.
B: I've had curry bread once and it was better than I thought. Curry and bread go actually well together.
A: Yeah, it's like eating naan with curry.
B: Indeed. What did you have for lunch?
A: I made and ate "肉まん".
B: What's a "肉まん"?
A: A pork bun
B: Oh, OK.
How did you make it?
A: I made the dough with pankcak-mix, then I make a filling with pork and chives or something, put it inside, and steam it in a pan. That's all.
B: Did it make well?
A: Well, I made the dough too thick and and it became hard. But the taste was ok. I used pankcak-mix to make the crust, so it's a little sweet, so maybe kids'll like it better.
B: You like to cook?
A: Well, not really. lol
But sometimes I feel like cooking.
B: I kind of feel you, there are days that cooking is a good stress reliever.
A: Yeah, but it's hard to do it every day
B: Mothers are great!
A: Nowadays, there are more and more single fathers and househusbands and men who do housework, so a person who cooks every day is great.
B: Yeah, certainly.
What was for dinner?
A: I got it from a Japanese bento place called Hotto Motto and I ate it.
B: What's "bento"?
A: Japanese lunch box.
B: Oh, OK! What kind of bento?
A: I think it was "Oyako-don".
B: What's it?
A: Chicken and egg over rice.
B: What does "oyako" mean?
A: The meaning of "oyako" is parents and children. Chickens is the parent and the eggs is the child, that's why "Oyako-don".
B: That sounds a bit cruel. lol
A: Yeah, I guess so, now that I think about it. We should really be grateful for the ingredients.
B: Yeah, right.
What did you eat for dinner?
A: Granola.
B: Oh, there are a lot of people in the U.S. who eat granola. But American ones tend to be sweet.
A: I see. I think Japanese granola is moderately sweet. The sweetness of the fruit stands out.
B: I wanna try some Japanese ones.
A: I wanna try an American one too.
B: Do you want to send it to each other?
Just for granola. haha
A: I wish there aren't shipping fee. lol
But I can send it if you insist. lol
B: I think there's no need to do this much. lol
A: OK. haha
B: What did you have for lunch?
A: I put chicken and beaten egg into "Shin ramen" and ate it.
B: Great, sounds delicious!
What did you have for dinner?
A: 焼き鳥.
B: What's "焼き鳥"?
A: "焼き鳥" is a Japanese specialty where various parts of the chicken are skewered and charbroiled by the chef. They are usually served simply with only salt or dipped into teriyaki like sauces.
B: Ah, "Yakitori"!
It is also called "chicken skewers" or "chicken kebab" in other countries.
A: Oh, I didn't know that.
I'd like to try some "yakitori" from overseas.
What 's it going for?/How much does it cost?
