Memories of Kyuushoku
Tuesday, November, 13, 2012
After looking at my food bills for the month, I definitely miss kyuushoku from my old town. In Yokohama, while it is true you can buy just about anything in the big city, you have to pay accordingly. But school lunches in Katsuura were something special. I have tasted tons of Japanese food just because they serve a lot of it in Katsuura. But my favorite thing about it was the quantity! The lunch ladies at the junior high schools hated wasting food, so they always gave me whatever was left over! ?I would get these crazy lunches without having to pay extra. The only hard part was teaching two classes after such a huge meal.
Check out this one. I got 2 bowls of cream stew, an extra piece of chicken, an extra slice of bread and extra milk. I could barely walk afterwards!
And how about this one? An extra omlette, an extra bowl of curry, TWO extra riceballs and some milk. I am amazed I stayed awake!
With all that food, you would think I would have to pay something like 1500 yen. But it was more like 400 yen a meal, which is insane. I am glad that kyuushoku exposed me to so many different types of food, but I am sad that I will never eat so much for so little again!
Well, at least while I am in Japan.
Until next time,
Anand
