The woes of being vegetarian in Japan
I was looking for this on a package: 肉 (meat) to see if the food was vegetarian. The picture on the front was of a rice risotto kind of thing.
And I saw it.
But I was hungry, and it was on the ingredients list far enough down that I decided it was probably some broth or something. Also, the picture on the front was of cheesy rice. I got it home, checked online, and determined that it was part of the emulsifier. So, not technically vegetarian, but I was going to pretend that it was.
So I opened it up.
Turns out I missed this: ベコン (bacon)
Which was pretty high on the list.
Now I have to go buy dinner again and I am sad.
