Sharing My Lunch

As I wrote before, I sometimes make food that I get cravings for but that don’t exist in Japan. Among these foods is hummus. Yesterday I brought some hummus and pieces of carrots to school with me in my bento (boxed lunch). And since everyone stares and questions my food whenever I bring in anything I make myself, I shared with quite a few people. Not only did I introduce several of my coworkers to hummus, but I also introduced them to the concept of eating raw carrots. That’s right. Apparently in Japan they do not eat raw carrots. And they were quite shocked that I did. Until they tried some. Because everyone agrees that carrots and hummus is delicious.
