    I love indian food. miss my indian buffets thanks to the covids.

    I love my Saag Paneer and Chicken Tikka Masala (yeah, its a british dish but whatevz).

    I love Japanese tonkatsu curry, I get it extra hot where it burns my mouth and eat all the pickled veggies on it.

    My wife and I seldom go out to eat anymore as she's a great cook but when we do it's either Thai food or Vietnamese food...I have better Chinese food at home than they have in Eugene....sometimes I'll hit up a Mongolian BBQ or sushi bar but we make sushi at home too so it's a waste for us at the price...I'll get fish and chips from a local place from time to time..

    Ever had Uni spaghetti? Its a trip, there used to be a japanese pasta shop I used to hit up here, but it closed. Had all of that shit. Uni is pretty good, but I haven't been on an expensive sushi kick lately, I've been doing the crazy fusion rolls.

    Out on the Redondo Pier, at Quality Seafood, you can buy Uni in the shell, still alive, and they cut it open and you scoop it out. Sounds good, but honestly, the ones that are pre-sorted are higher quality than the live ones since its more consistent.

    I can live on nori avocados, rice and roe...salmon, shrimp, flying fish or sea urchin roe...that's some kickass nutrition

    I know, I used to be more into Sushi. Its just an expensive habit.

    Used to do a lot of sake and Asahi back in the day, nowadays, I'm just drinking iced tea with it.

    I'm not a big fan of American style ham. Like the honeybaked ham n' shit. I love the italian and spanish hams though, but the american ham doesn't do much for me.

    I think NY Pizza is overrated. I mean its good, but doesn't blow me away like people say it should. Same with NY Hotdogs, they are fucking whatevz. Chicago Dogs blow the shit out of them.

    Meat. But I make an exception for social occasions. To conform. Therefore, I avoid being social. This means that I must have no friends. To achieve this goal, I post anti-Blazer thoughts on a Blazer board, to be everyone's opponent. Using this strategy, I can avoid eating meat.

    Is that a book? I don't eat books, unless it's a social situation. Then I conform.
