ホットドッグ　牛乳　チャンポンメン

～Lunch Report　By ALT～

Merry Christmas!  I really wish we had yesterday’s menu today, but in Japan many people think the 24th is Christmas and it isn’t. The 25th is Christmas day.  Today we got a hot dog and some chanponmen.  An interesting combination.  The chanponmen was quite delicious and I enjoyed the salty flavor very much.   The hot dog was very good as well and I like the little container that the ketchup and mustard come in.  It was a fine lunch, but this isn’t what I could consider a Christmas meal!  Thank you!

Today is clearly a Christmas themed school lunch! Minestrone soup, ‘Make your own chicken pilaf’, A christmas tree shaped hamburg, and a choice of dessert! Quite wide variety of items on the menu today. I started with the pilaf and it was superb. Tons of chicken, and a great variety of vegetables giving it a really nice onion flavor with bursts of sweetness from the corn which stood out. Delicious and a new menu item I think with excellent flavor. The minestrone soup was nice and had a light tomato flavor. I enjoyed it and even think I saw a snowman naruto (Or maybe a ghost? Haha.) in the soup as well. The hamburg was very cute looking and with ketchup it was quite good. Finally the cake! We got a choice of classic strawberry shortcake, a chocolate cake, and ‘cup dessert’, which was pudding or jelly I think. I went for the classic strawberry shortcake because it had the highest weight! Also, believe it or not, I prefer a lighter style of cake and think many chocolate cakes are very dense and heavy. The strawberry was a great choice and it had two layers of sponge, two layers of light and fluffy strawberry cream, and a layer of strawberry jam in the middle. An absolute delight and a wonderful finish to this excellent meal! This was a top 10 for sure! Gochisousamadeshita!

Today is another great day for school lunch. The wonderful macaroni cream stew as well as broccoli salad and fried fish. The salad was delicious and had a lot of creamy sweetness from the corn and the dressing. The fried fish was pretty good and it came with sauce as well which was nice. I enjoyed mixing it with bites of bread so the sweetness of the bread complimented to saltiness of the fish and sauce like a mini sandwich. It was great. My favorite dish of the day though has to be the macaroni stew. I said it before and I will say it again, I love every stew that comes out for lunch and today is no different. Creamy, filled with delicious vegetables and meat, and the macaroni is a great change of pace from the normal ingredients. It was awesome and perfect with the bread. Wonderful lunch!

Today is a nice simple menu of saborodon and soup with salmon balls. It looks simple but is packed with flavor. The soup was great and very delicious. The salmon balls had a light but very enjoyable flavor which made the whole soup taste better. The saborodon was amazing as always. I love that unique flavor. It reminds me of ginger and soy sauce. The mix with the eggs is perfect and the lima beans add a really nice crunch in there as well. It goes perfectly with rice. Today is a great lunch!

Curry day! Also, it is a special menu today celebrating winter due to the solstice. Nothing wrong with starting a Monday with delicious curry and rice. And a yummy Tuna salad too with Yuzu jelly on the side. The salad was great and I love the sweetness from the corn mixed with the citrusy dressing. The tuna also adds a nice flavor to the mix as well. The winter curry was also quite interesting including renkon, daikon, potatoes, spinach, and pumpkin as well. Very fitting ingredients for the season with many root vegetables. It gave it a unique flavor compared to curry on other days. Interesting! The yuzu jelly was extremely refreshing and new as well. Yuzu has a special smell and flavor that is different from other citrus fruits and it’s very enjoyable. A delicious conclusion to a yummy meal.
