Iris sounds so much like my daughter, when she was that age. Loved to eat (almost) everything. She’s now 11, and sushi is still her favorite.
Your blog posts always make me hungry. I just had some great doro wat at Pan Africa, but now I almost want to go to Takohachi and get some mackerel…
The mackerel at Takohachi is so great, it should get a medal. I’ve been working on a post about Takohachi for a while, but it requires a little further on-site research. Maybe tomorrow for lunch….
