......... what teh FHECK?

I love food just as much as the next guy, but that's too excessive.

Me and my mom used to learn 다도 (茶道, Da Do) while I was in Korea for a short time. And goddamn, it was frustrating. Yeah, they serve important purpose as to heating the cups and throwing away the first batch because it's dirty and all.

But the rest of the crap is just for style points and to look professional. Real enthusiasts really don't care much about it. I've seen how real tea lovers drink, and it's always accompanied by loud clanking and slurping, with plenty of laughter amongst their friends.

What I'm trying to say is that real food enthusiasts wouldn't have a method of how to eat. They'll just eat, and love every moment of it while loudly slurping and dirtying their clothes.

Tampopo is one of my favorite Japanese films too. Legacy, you need to see the whole movie to appreciate the scene. Its supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek.

As a side note, the best places I know for Ramen are in San Francisco's Nihon-Machi (Japantown). Iroha is pretty good, but the best joint I know is just up the street. I think its called Tan Popo. Really wide selection of Ramen bowls, great prices, and cold Japanese beer on tap. It doesn't get much better than that. *sigh*

What a great clip. Believe it or not Japanese humour can be masterfully subtle.

I also love Tampopo- and I think I heard of it first from videosift. Great movie.
