The breakfast table

I managed to get thoroughly confused at breakfast. It seems that meat is a breakfast food here. Noodles too. The sign said "noodles with vegetables" but what they really meant was noodles with some vegetables, eggs and chicken. If you're a vegetarian like me, always ask because anything can have chicken or something in it.

What I found most surprising was that the saltshaker with three holes had no salt in it; instead, it had white pepper.

While eating a pepper coated egg I pondered on what I'll find when I try the one holed shaker. I was expecting black pepper; it was salt.

I guess that means they use less salt than us (and far more white pepper).

So there you have it: one hole -- salt, more holes -- pepper.
