Food Revelation number one:

Vegetables and milk taste different here in Hokkaido. Some milk isn't so nice, I'm still testing different brands. But veggies, the veggies are better. In New Zealand, most pumpkins are fuzzy (as in the flesh is fibrous or fluffy) and sweet, two things I dislike in anything I consider to be savoury. But here the pumpkins are more savoury and the flesh is firmer. I also like their tomatoes, they are less sweet too. I may eat more of those and hopefully I can learn to eat meat too.
