For some reason I decided to mix it together with the rice and curry. The flavor combination was really good, like a well balanced mix of sour, sweet, and savory.
For us, it’s pickled beetroot. Goes with Japanese style curries, even with hayashi rice.
But last night I had a transcendental experience. I channelled
rustykettel and made a tuna mayo sandwich, but I added pickled beetroot slices (I am unapologetic about this, a childhood habit I got from my dad). On the shokupan it was the best mayo/tuna/beetroot sandwich I’ve ever had. I swear I could hear a celestial choral accompaniment as I munched through it.
If the whole point of this thread was to lead me to that point, I have been very, VERY well served.
I hope - and this is to anyone reading this - that you get your perfect sandwich moment too. Even if it’s not with a sandwich.
