Menu
Meal Plan
noun
I'm offering to stand up and announce what's on the menu for today. I'll tell everyone about today's meal plan.
This word doesn't mean the kind of physical menu you see in a restaurant, but rather a menu, or meal plan, in the sense of the foods you're planning to eat.
You didn't learn this reading for 献 with the kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
I'm actually announcing the menu for condors (こん). You thought I was going to tell you what's on the menu for humans? No no, that's a surprise. Condors need a heads-up for these things, because meals are extremely important to condors, given their size and everything.
そろそろ今晩の献立を考えないと。
I need to start thinking about the menu for tonight.
全員に喜んでもらえる献立を考えるのは難しい。
It is difficult to come up with a menu that will please everyone.
私は、いつも冷蔵庫の中身を見て一週間の献立を立てます。
I always do my weekly meal plan by looking at the contents of my refrigerator.
