Frozen Japanese food

When it comes to culinary concoctions, I’m competent at best, and even that meagre boast may well be challenged by those who’ve had the misfortune to tentatively munch on one of my meals.

Yet that said, even if the cupboards were bare apart from a bit of bread, I’d still balk at buying this far from appealing frozen feast of ham and egg.

Japanese frozen food

A lousy looking lunch that arguably takes laziness, or indeed a total lack of talent, to new levels of lowness. Although it does, to be fair, save itself somewhat with that succulent soupçon of spinach.

    Reenji de kantan eh? So you need a stove to prepare this? The whole “delicious harmony” thing on the left made me laugh, heh. I was actually disappointed that nowhere on the package did it use the word “オムレツ/omuretsu”.

      Nah, just a microwave (レンジ) will do the trick. And then you’ll be treated to all the ‘delicious harmony’ you can imagine. Maybe even more!

    At least the Japanese throw some ham in. 🙂 Some days ago I stumbled across a bottle (!) of plain scrambled egg at a Edeka-supermarket in Bremen, Germany. It has an amount like, lets say, 3 eggs in it and costs 2.50€. Thats not only lazy, thats simply stupid (a fresh egg just at the next shelf costs around 30c and you still have to fry the stuff in the bottle)
