Sister Lebowski and I always fight over potatoes in kare raisu. I like as few as possible and she always loads it up.

One more thing: I highly recommend tsukemono (assorted picked veggies) with curry rice. Especially small pickled onions.

In the curry? or as a side dish?

I didn't know the term tsukemono but googling it I see I've had it before, I always thought of it as kimche without the kimche flavor. Not my favorite but a decent side dish.

Wrong. Think pickled.

Yeah I saw it here

This is exactly what I have had many times, always thinking of it as kimche without the kimche flavor. Kimche can be made with various vegetables: cabbage, radish, cucumber, etc.

Rakkyōzuke (a type of onion) is often served with Japanese curry.

Bingo.

I prefer fukujinzuke with my curry. Pickled radish, eggplant, lotus root, and cucumber.

As a side dish.

I meant "pickled", not "picked". There are lots of varieties. Pickled japanese radish (daikon) being one of the more common.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
