Of all the new wierd and wonderful pizza toppings I’ve seen here, lettuce takes the cake.
(Chicago Tarebien pizza: oriental pork, onion, double corn, lettuce, mayonaise, sesames, double cheese, parsley, teriyaki sauce)

Errhhh!
I don’t know what’s worse, lettuce or corn.
I love salads, but on pizza?
Bring on more weird Japanese food stories!
The corn is surprisingly ok on pizza. Other popular toppings include halved hard-boiled eggs, brocolli, potato, and asparagus. Mayonaise features a lot, but it’s totally dif from ours, more creamy and still tastes ok after being baked. journal.

Dried squid as beer snacks, also good with sake.
corn flavoured ice-cream.
fermented soy beans (indescribably horrible)
um, will think of some more

I had soy sauce ice cream last week. Though surprisingly tasty, it was in the top position of ‘strange things I’ve eaten this week’ for about an hour and a half until I was served this .
Re: or…axolotl_eyes
eek…brain dead…knew your username looked wrong somehow, but even with flicking back to check I managed to get it completely wrong.
Soy sauce ice-cream…where did you have that? Sounds very dodgy. I’ve heard there’s a new ice-cream out that is gooey like mochi. Am on the lookout!
Oh, I did have scorpian and crickets while in China! They were crunchy, very similar to the small crunchy bits of chips always left at the end of fish’n’chips.
Soy Sauce ice cream
…at the soy sauce museum of course. Ice cream like mochi? As long as it doesn’t taste like mochi, it should be all good.
Re: Soy Sauce ice cream
You can buy the mochi icecream in little boxes in combinis, etc.
Can’t remember the name of it but basically it’s balls of mochi which is filled with vanilla icecream – so the two exist seperately.
Surprised there’s an icecream-related dessert you haven’t tried Nick!
I personally haven’t had it yet either… don’t actually know why! I guess it’s just cause I’ll always choose the Turkish Icecream option – you know they make yoghurt flavour now? Refreshing, but nothing on the vanilla!
Re: Soy Sauce ice cream
Of course. Silly me *grin* And where, pray tell, is the soy sauce museaum?
Re: Soy Sauce ice cream
Yeah, I’ve had the mochi balls with ice-cream in them. Apparently this is something different. I had the name written down, but then silly me didn’t charge my pda and hence lost all recent info, the name of the icecream seems to be part of the missing stuff (still working out what is missing) Moral of the story, always keep PDA charged, travel with charger and back-up more than once a month!
Baskin & Robbin have just brought out cinnamon roll flavoured ice cream… will be trying it soon 😉
Re: Soy Sauce ice cream
I went to one on Shodoshima, but there are apparently a couple of good ones in Kobe as well as in one of those towns down south whose name I can’t remember. I don’t know if they sell soy sauce ice cream though.
Re: Soy Sauce ice cream
I have had those…on several occasions. From Amber’s description, I was imagining an ice cream that was as gooey and thick as mochi but with none of the ‘chewing on paper’ aftertaste one often gets when eating regular mochi.
One can dream I suppose.
Okay, what’s mochi? (forgive me, so ignorant…)
Crickets, Amber? Bah, you could get cricket lollypops in Perth! (Crikit Likits, if my memory serves me well and they were sugar free, which was the icky thing about them).
Saw the anemones, curious. I’m glad my distaste for meat doesn’t extend to things I haven’t yet eaten, a clause in the vegetarianism, if you will. I’d tried them.
I’m just wondering how much soy sauce paraphenalia there could be for there to actually be a Soy Sauce Museum?
Oh, they could make a museaum out of an ant hill here!
Mochi is made from sticky rice, which is pounded until it becomes smooth. It is eaten in oh-so-many ways here, sometimes savoury, sometimes sweet. It’s quite gooey and can be fun to eat, with melty cheese-like texture.
Cricket lollipops, in Australia. Wow. Could you actually see the cricket? How the hell did they sell?
The cricket was intact and suspended in a pale bland tasting lolly.
A novelty store in Perth used to sell them, I used to get them for my younger siblings. Don’t know if they still have them.
