'Oh no, you've ruined it now'

Went to St Lukes today, Seb and I had some lunch. I sat next to a woman, her mother and the 3 little kids. Woman is eating sushi "mm its nice but its dear" she says. ("Dear" - kiwism for expensive). DEAR... fuck.... McDonalds is fuckin dear.
Shes about 30, her mothers about 55+.

'Grandma' is having a problem with her sushi, and then the daughter exclaims 'I told you not to put that on mum! its waaasaaaaaaaaaaaabeeee! oh no, well you've ruined it now"

oh dear fucking lord.

The grandmother is blowing horseradish smoke out her nose, she looks annoyed, and embarrased.

I thought that was an interesting take on sushi, to ruin it with wasabi, the most important side part of Sushi, and its only on the side because we don't like it IN the sushi as is meant to be.
Don't get me wrong, Im no fan of the mean green, and we don't even get the real shit here, we get the powdered version. And 'ruined', well, any self respecting Japanese person wouldn't put chicken in their sushi.

foreign food bastardised.
