... of the odd variety. A study has found that Japanese birth rates are declining because Japanese people don't have enough sex. Huh. Do you think stuff like this might be part of the problem? Food companies in Japan are looking to export octopus dumplings to overseas markets, including the United States. There's actually a chance they might succeed, so long as they stop calling them "octopus dumplings". The actual Japanese name for them is takoyaki. "Hand-grilled in iron molds by cooks behind a large display window, the octopus dumplings are made from wheat flour paste mixed with fish stock, spring onions and boiled octopus chunks, and drizzled with a sweet sauce, dried bonito flakes and seaweed." I don't think I've had them, but I'd bet they'd be pretty tasty. If perhaps a little chewy. Want to see a perfect example of Japanese culture? Look no further than this video. (Warning, has sound.) |
