Pickled cukes, daikon, eggplant, tofu, onion, kim chi, etc. There's also a scallion pancake and a dish called lajoki, which is a lightly floured chicken fried with assorted veggies in a spicy red chili sauce.

There is also broiled and raw squid (Denny, the pic you asked about are ika nigiri [squid sushi] that my wife made for me and my brother from the guys I caught the other day in Nantucket Sound.

The last is a Vietnamese pho; 'Xe Lua', with extra tendon. Just outstanding stuff, and we found that place, Pho 88, the other day in a nearby town. A great spot a 25 minute drive away. There have been times where I have been so desperate for a big bowl of pho that I've slogged back into town just to get a fix. Now that we have a place of comparable quality than the place in Boston that I've been going for 20 years, I am a happy, happy chappie.

Jcubed, you know where we are. wink

Thanks for the kind comments, gents.


Great pics. I recognized some of the Korean dishes from my mum's cooking. Lord I miss Her.
