There seems to be a consensus that because I’m American, my opinions about food are invalid. Fam, I’ve eaten raw horse, milt, sea urchin, etc. but the moment I criticize a konbini sandwich, I’m a tasteless Neanderthal who doesn’t deserve to be in Japan. It’s honestly comical. 🤣

Chocomint ice cream is the GOAT, I love it! But that sandwich looks so unappetizing. I’d try a bite just to say I tried it, but I can’t fathom the taste being anything other than fake mint, processed, oily chocolate and refrigerated konbini sandwich bread. My taste buds KNOW. 😂

Unlike Indian curry, Japanese curry uses roux to create a mild, stew-like texture. Curry became a household favorite, served with rice, udon, or even bread! The Japanese Navy adopted curry as a nutritious meal, leading to its popularity nationwide.
