Nice website devoted to the cuisine of Okinawa

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

This is a nice site devoted to the cuisine of Okinawa, which is not as

vegetarian as many claim.

Everyone, what kinds of Kusuimun (healthy foods) do you use?

* When I have a cold, I take plantain soup and rock sugar.

* I can't buy medicine. I drink mugwort soup for colds and fever.

* For fever, I take soup with pork and Basho stem juice squeezings

and a little sake in it as a medicine to increase my energy.

* For colds and hangovers, ginger and brown sugar and potato

gluten dissolved in water is good.

* For poor nutrition, I took soup with island carrots and pork

liver in it.

* During pregnancy, we ate rice, which we never ate otherwise

(back when potatoes were the dietary staple).

* Carp soup for fever.

* When children were not getting enough nutrition and we couldn't

buy meat, we gave them soup with paddy frog in it. Frog is like

chicken. It's delicious.
