I can definitely respect the taboos that have some base in tradition.<br /><br />All right, I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the thought! :)Edohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817104410299836545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698765624507309860.post-82161034108161665032010-06-07T11:47:59.320+09:002010-06-07T11:47:59.320+09:00leaving chopsticks sticking out of your rice, howe...leaving chopsticks sticking out of your rice, however, is legitly taboo<br />In east asian culture that's done when mourning a loved one's death<br /><br />now I don't want to turn this into a food blog, but a bit into japanese food (and how to cookthem) and tradition every now and then would be welcome :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698765624507309860.post-1644157056942120942010-06-06T02:29:22.911+09:002010-06-06T02:29:22.911+09:00Aw, thank you, I do love to hear that!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />See, now that you mention it, I didn't really get much slack for it outside of my Hakodate host family... and, surprisingly, my third-year Japanese text book. I suppose it's right up there with "don't stab things with your chopsticks," but with that one, is was my Hakodate host sister who said "well, if it's too hard to pick up, why not?" Why not indeed.<br /><br />You've quelled my non-slurping fears, at least; thank you for that!Edohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817104410299836545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698765624507309860.post-69425862936145052522010-06-05T19:40:16.763+09:002010-06-05T19:40:16.763+09:00mm, I love this post - buying some somen and buckw...mm, I love this post - buying some somen and buckwheat noodles tomorrow<br /><br />about the slurping part, yes it's fine but you really don't need to, especially if you're a girl. a lot of my friends in japan certainly don't slurp although it's commonly done<br />nowadays no one will think you're strange if you don't slurp ... i even have doubts whether it is an actual tradition or something some clever japanese people made up just to entertain a bunch of Westerners back when Perry ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
