After finishing my Ramen I decided I wanted to eat some shrimp balls and a bowl of miso soup. I don't know how to describe it but I feel better eating appetizers after my main meal. I know appetizers are supposed to be something you have to appease you until your main meal. If you think about it, appetizers are just a way to fill you up.
I always suggest people to skip out on appetizers. Try it out and see if you feel more satisfied. Most people who try it out feel more satisfied without buying something before the main meal. If you are not full like I am now. You can buy the appetizer after the main meal if you aren't that full.
The food was brought out and I took a bite of the octopus balls. It was super hot. I forgot to cool it down. It burned my mouth. Thankfully I was drinking water throughout the meal. The waitress with white panties filled our water jug multiple times. I left enough water to cool my mouth off.
I was able to cool it down and the burn subsided. I let out a sigh because I survived and didn't spit out my food. The soldier who took the most damage was my tongue. It is now a little numb. I am able to speak properly but I can't feel it like I used to.
I took a sip of my miso soup and I am reminded of my home. We have miso soup every now and then. It is considered a poor influence soup. So to keep up our appearance we don't eat it everyday. Before our father got influence and power, our family was poor. So to pay homage to our ancestors we eat them during certain days.
I like it though. Doesn't make you fat in small qualities. And it is soup. Soup is usually water based so it also helps with your thirst. Even if I become influential I will eat this every morning. I can already imagine a wife making this when I wake up.
I can see why people try their best to put hundreds of gold into finding the best ingredients. Food can be so good if you put the right ingredients into it. I know I don't have the wealth yet, but hundreds of gold for food seems like too much for me.
Well if it is expensive ingredients to make a wife happy I could care less. For me I don't need the best food. I like to sustain myself to get by. Most of the time. I mean who doesn't like to get spoiled every now and then.
