Indian food

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I found a decent Indian food place today! I'm ridiculously excited. There won't be any deprivation on that front, at least. On my way walking downtown, I passed by the place. It was advertised as "Indian food that an actual Indian person cooks!" or something to that effect. And it looked true--I saw aforementioned Indian person through the window. I figured I'd eat there on my way back. So I did. For 680yen, I got a lunch set with my choice of curry (chicken masala), and naan, rice, small salad, and chicken wing. Pretty good! Definitely affordable, and definitely stuffed me more than the local donburi fast food chain would have. It was even good, by which I mean it resembles what I would eat at an American place. The last time I had Indian food, you might recall, the chef used Japanese curry. Well, not this time. Unfortunately, the rice was still Japanese sticky rice--you can't have everything. I'll just avoid the rice in the future. But anyways--I'm happy :-) Maybe I'll become a regular. Now, if only I could find an affordable Mexican place....I was joking with another Fulbrighter about the possibility of making our own burritos for Thanksgiving. Japanese sticky rice, adzuki beans instead of pinto beans, spring roll wraps instead of tortillas, homemade salsa, cheese from Hokkaido, mmmmm. Well, at least meat is meat everywhere.
