Foodie's food concern

A thought occurred to me one day and I felt an urgent need to voice my concern to a friend...

Considering that I love to try new food, regardless of what type of stuff it is.... considering that I'm used to all sorts of strange and unusual flavours...

What if... what if... one day I ate some rotten food and still think that it's meant to be like that?!

Imagine me keeling over from food poisoning without even understanding what had killed me in the first place... what a wonderful prospect. (-_-)"'

... ... ... ....

What the heck, when it comes, it comes. At least I can say that I have savoured all the flavours of life, even the "taste" of death.

Concern voiced and point taken, I think my stomach can still survive new challenges.... I think.

Whatever.

Anyway, I was suddenly reminded of my concern when I sat down for lunch at the hotel while traveling around Tohoku.

It felt ok when I bought the stuff at the supermarket.

But as I surveyed my meal, a sudden flash sparked through my mind and it became strangely clear to me that probably no one else furnish their meals in such a manner...

Carol's budget lunch: Clockwise from bottom

1. Chinese Bean Vermicelli Salad seasoned with brown rice vinegar

2. Gyuukaku Kimchi (Half price because it's expiring in 2 days' time)

3. Kiwi fruit for dessert

4. Sliced Fresh Seaweed from Miyagi province.

Since I'm in the Tohoku region, I figured that I should definitely try their local produce. And fresh seaweed is one of them :) (Close-up below)

Now, as long as the packaging says 生食用 (For fresh = raw consumption), I get the stuff.

They have it for chicken eggs, different types of seaweed, seafood, fish, fish eggs, beef, chicken, horse meat, etc.

Organic food without any seasoning, what a great way to head back to nature.
