3.d 21 to 25 Jan – What? No pictures of food!

Last post on our first week may give the wrong impression… we did not just work! We once more had amazing meals…

Between rice fields and forest…
from Otani-Watari (Asplenium antiqua)
+ also Kazushige made ….
we picked…
, from which we made…
okinawa Okonomiyaki
Tampura and Okonomiyaki
young shoots…
Tampura!!!
Egg, flour, water + lots of cabbage. Add sea food when fried.

Although our host likes fishing and although it is around 23Β°C, he finds it too cold to go out fishing… instead we caught our own sea food with a trap and bate.

Trap is a cage
connected to the sea.
We get 0, small or big swimming crabs
once more Kazushige is our Chef
bate is just fish…
We check it at night,
Aouch! Now who is catching who?
Gazami (Portunus trituberculatus)
thrown at bottom of a river…
and in the morning.
…much better! We kept them from one day to the other in the fridge, till …
to our delight!

And there was more.. believe us! Wondering if this is really organic farming WWOOF, or a Guide Michelin tour??

  1. I quite agree with your comment more like an epicurian gourmet tour than hard work this wwoofing… I find the names of people, location, plants, flowers or food a bit hard to memorize. I would have a tendancy to rename everything. The guy who gave you the traps and seems to be the boss looks like a “Jean Paul” to me. It is all fascinating and we just hope that Yann will enjoy this very unique experience He deserves it, after working hard for his exams! And ….Happy B’day Patoune!

  2. Pat and LN are eating plants which are quite common at Finnish homes – indoors. So no worry, you can come back and keep your new diet. However, no snorkling here, mainly snow shovelling.
