there’s actually a very good reason jotaro’s favorite food is listed as his mother’s cooking, and that’s because she doesn’t just cook japanese or whatever. She’ll regularly do the Italian thing and make pastries and orange juice for breakfast, and sometimes Italian for dinner. But sometimes it’ll be miso soup instead. She’ll make some particularly American sandwiches one day and okonomiyaki the next. In general she likes to try to be particularly Japanese, even when (especially when) the other housewives talk about her, but when it comes to food she cooks pretty much everything. Jotaro has no conception of how unusual this might be. Joseph complains loudly about how easy Jotaro takes to eating ‘strange foods’ one day during their journey (after bragging about being ‘worldly’ the day before). Jotaro ignores him.
