First Friday Fellowship (03/03/2017) at Custom House Maritime Museum - theme; Japan.

The food theme (port of call at Newburyport MA) at the First Friday Fellowship at the Custom House Maritime Museum was Japan. On the first of every month, there is a gathering of members and friends of members of the museum. There is a lecture and food. The lecture is very interesting. The food is from a country that is port of call for Newburyport MA which used to be active in shipping. The museum is a small place with some very interesting items on display. The building itself has a lot of history in itself.

This is beef misoyaki. It was really good. It was served on rice. 

This is scallops with wasabi. It was not a strong wasabi. It was gone before I could get to try it. 

This is chicken karaigi. It was very popular. It is basically fried chicken. It was gone before I could try some. Those who did get to have some said they enjoyed it.

This is mango with (very) sticky rice. It was excellent. I think it is a version of rice pudding. It was very popular. There was some who came back for thirds and fourths. 

This is origani. It was delicious. The recipe calls for it to be wrapped in dried seaweed but I think this gives it a more artistic look to it. Wrapping is very time consuming and placing it on top makes it easier.

The food was created by member and personal cook Sheila Mullins. Her creations are one of the reasons the event is popular. 

The spelling of the food might not be correct. I am trying to read the label in the photo.
