Don’t post this around mealtime.<\/p>\n

Today I dispersed my food items from the warming cabinet onto a tray without looking carefully at the contents of the dishes. After I had started chowing down, I looked more carefully at the strange things on one of the plate (see attached photo). Had I actually eaten one of those? They look like bugs! Nahh..couldn’t be.\u00c2\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mukul sat down, and I asked him what they were. Insects, maybe? He said, “No, if this were India, I would say yes, but in Japan, I don’t think so. We can ask Shibasaki san tomorrow what they were.” Mukul ate them with gusto.

\nEven with his example, I couldn’t eat any more. I was sure those little tendils are legs or antennas. And are those little beady eyes? Maybe if they were fried and battered, or saute’d in dark chocolate,
\nI would go for them. But not as they are. Maybe Peter can illuminate me about their vegetable nature..<\/p>\n
