My spouse and I grew up in Japan and then moved to America. We have never stopped hating the non-illustrated menus that virtually every restaurant offers. There’s no way to know what you’re really getting. The ingredients don’t really tell you much about the dish you’re going to eat, aside from simple things like steak and similar. Sometimes, restaurants also want to be original and write some mambo jumbo in the menu as if I was interested.

I miss Japan so much.
