“It's so tasty it's hard to believe that rice tastes like this with just carrots and fried tofu."
"It's healthy too," Tokuda added.
"Good for when you're tired," said Tokai.
The main dishes were lotus root cooked in soy and chili pepper, and the head and bony parts of yellowtail cooked in soy sauce and sweet sake. Both were mildly seasoned and went well with the rice.”

“Kinoshita brought over several trays, placing one in front of each of them. Each had soup, a main dish, and--- orange-colored rice?
"What is this?"
"It's carrot rice! With unlimited second helpings!"
Sure enough, the rice was packed full of so many carrots, that's all you could see.
Otoha started with the soup, which was a potage with roughly mashed potatoes. Not very showy, yet the wonderful flavor spread throughout her. She let out a deep sigh. Not the type of sigh she'd let out in front of Mr. Tamura, but one of deep satisfaction nonetheless.
She next turned to the carrot rice.
"Wow... this is delicious," she said as she took a big bite. The sweetness of carrots, the aroma of soy sauce--- what a gentle, delicious flavor the rice had.”

“There was something green between slices of soft bread. Otoha took a bite and sure enough the blend of cucumbers and butter leaped out into her mouth, with a simple, yet deep taste.
"Mr. Kinoshita, this is really delicious! It's hard to believe the ingredients are that simple."
"Thanks. I just sliced the cucumbers very thin and rubbed them with salt."
Otoha tried the roast chicken sandwich next.
"This is wonderful too. The chicken is so moist."
"I simply added salt and pepper to the chicken breasts as I roasted them, and then a little French dressing before I put it in the sandwich."
"They're all very simple flavors. You can really savor all the ingredients."
"I think that's how things were back in those times. Plus, I don't think Montgomery, a pastor's wife, would like writing long descriptions of how food tasted."
"That makes sense."
On top of the flat plate of sandwiches was a small dish with green peas.
Otoha tried them and found them softly boiled, with a taste of butter.
"Those are green peas sautéed in butter. I finished them by adding a spoonful of sugar. Do you remember how, when they invited Mrs. Morgan to Green Gables, Anne added too much sugar and spoiled the peas?”
