In asian food, you need many of them to eat, because people want to have many plates on the table, to chose what they want to eat.<br />I like this way of eating, you have just a plate for your owne, and you have to take some food in the dishes. Just a little, If you don't and takes a lot, your are feeling as you have no education. It's so,and it's delicious, in thailand. Don't know about japanese food, well, I enjoy sashimi, sushi and so on. :-)Armelle Léonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168594267333506636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-8162878726227015612013-02-09T22:05:07.901+00:002013-02-09T22:05:07.901+00:00What a blessing to have such a big task ahead of y...What a blessing to have such a big task ahead of you, Doug.
