Yes you got it correct. That is a plate of traditional Japanese vegetal saute of sliced bitter melon with stir-fried poke, bean curd(and often jumbled up with other vegetables too - which is popularly called "Goya Champuru" originated as one of the time-honoured dishes in Okinawa)
Tut, when I saw him saying he had a can of vanilla coke I thought the beverage actually tasted with flavors of vanilla ice cream which I haven't ever imagined to be and sounded to me an unbecoming combination of relish.

Stopped by Wendy's with the kids for supper. Had a Spicy Chicken sandwich and a Coke. No Vanilla, unfortunately.

Went to an old favourite restaurant we haven't been to for over a year. I had French onion soup with a huge cheese crouton, followed by an equally huge slab of buttery-soft silverside beef with garlic spinach followed by the cheese board. Yumski!

Bitter melon! That's it. (I said Bitter Gourd. I have also heard it being referred to as karralla - or some word that sounds like that, anyway - the indigenous name for it, I guess.) I have had it a couple of times - I hear it's a great de-toxifier. Must look for it again and try to mash up something. I tried it as 'chips' - thin slices that were fried crisp. Bitter, but with a delicious after-taste. I thought the meat was either pork or chicken, and there was possibly mustard and thinly sliced garlic or onion. Nice dish.
Goya champura. Huh. I know Japanese, too, now.

Are you saying you have never tasted vanilla ice-cream? The flavours do blend together quite well for the average palette, since the caramel/wintergreen flavour of the coke is more of an accent to what is a vanilla drink.
I need to stop using the drive-through and actually go inside one day.
I'm not much of a pop (soda) drinker, though. Pop, as everyone should know, is the number-one killer. (Not counting mosquitoes.) Well, refined sugar is the real killer. Then, I'd suddenly go on a binge and maybe have several soda-pops in a week, sometimes as much as two or three a day in that week. Then I'll stop drinking it for months - just smelling pop can make me turn away.
Same with the greasy burgers from the fast-food sweat-shops. I have to have (want to have?) some really greasy burger and fries, and I might do this once a month.
I prefer home-made burgers, though, and may have them more often.
And you were right, axletramp - though is there a stronger word than 'rape'? I felt violated, mutilated, invaded, and metastasized into a greasy torpor. But only for a little while, thank the invisible unicorn.

Smoked some very spicy hot links, some ABT's, with some baked beans and potato salad. More Hangar 24 Orange Wheat to wash it down. Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet Cake ice cream for dessert.

No we don't sadly. At the very least I've never seen that sort of coke can being sold in stores or vending machines.
Nope, but I haven't ever imagined how a coke with vanilla flavor would taste like... having a self-preoccupation that this kind of carbonated drink with a smack of vanilla ice-cream would've been of a mismatch combination. Although having seen some of my Japanese pen-pals posting a new variety of can cokes with different labelling.
Thanks for the tips. Bitter melon! That's it. (I said Bitter Gourd.

Yeah, not only the sliced peels of a bitter gourd but also are the pips inside the plant edible, which are generally bitter but becomes mellow once the seeds get ripened(look reddish with texture resembling that of a pulpy jelly).
As the meat you can use either a sheaf of chopped up pork or beef but the pork is of a better choice and what local people buy the most when they cook the meal. Garlics and onions are both side ingredients of the plate that are okay without them but you can mash up with various kinds of other vegetable as side garnish to it, and the dish is relatively simple for catering.
And regarding the derivation of the appellation of "karralla" I've heard that it initially comes from ancient Indian Sanskrit language where was one of the notable place of original home of the plant.
