Not Just Ninjas

So they feed me lunch for free in the junior high schools, but I don’t have any choice as to the menu.  I eat with all the other teachers, so they can see exactly what I don’t like and how much of what I don’t choke down.  When we’re finished, the leftovers go into all these special compartments… used rice in one bag, other uneaten food/soup in another, flattened milk cartons in another, other miscellaneous trash somewhere else, wipe off the trays and clean our chopsticks.  I feel like I’m at summer camp again.

Usually the food is decent, and that’s about it.  But at least I get exposed to food I may not have discovered otherwise… like the strange pumpkin filled fried thingy they fed me the other day.  Today’s particularly tasty vittles included:

corn chowder
fried fish with mayonaise
sauteed broccoli and carrots
a croissant
half a kiwi
whole milk

Someone pinch me and remind me what country I’m in again?…
