So.
Here you have today's lunch. A typical Japanese snack. Takoyaki, or octopus balls.
You can buy eight for roughly five bucks. Each one is the size of a golf ball and they are covered in a sweetish brown sauce, powdered seaweed, a pile of fish flakes and mayonaise.
You also get a sharp stick for poking. Takoyaki is mostly a non-sweet batter that is cooked in a special pan until the outside is all crusty. But hidden inside you'll find a big chunk of octopus.
And here's another shot.
They are tasty, filling, and a wonderful alternative to a burger and fried or a bag of chips. Now, if only I can get my parents to try them, we'll have one adventure under our belts.
