My first food memory
My mother told me that I was very picky about food as a child. She would tell people I would only eat “white food”. Not just any white food but particularly tofu, rice and Japanese white noodle. That explains why I have very few food memories from childhood and the only vivid one was about “Somen”-the Japanese angel hair pasta. I remember the soft gooey sticky white thin Japanese noodles tangling between my short fatty baby fingers. At first it felt chilled and smooth from the cold water, but gradually, my little worm fingers heated them up and made them gluey. My squishing fingers turned the noodles into ugly smashed chunks of white wheat which were originally shiny and tender. I do not recall the taste but guessing it now, it must have been nasty dried paste of wheat powder.
