I didn't know this dish is popular outside of Asia too. It's a bit of a coincidence because General Tso's grand-daughter is a neighbour of mine.

Wow! That's really cool. :metaldevil:

So yummy. :drooling: It's better with the karashi and if you don't mind MSG the sauce that comes with it.

Just don't eat it with kimchi. I tried that and almost killed a few millions people around the jet stream, not to mention global warming. :beaten:

The words "Cow Pasture" comes to mind.

It's healthy tho.

You should see the people's faces at the cash register when I buy this stuff. I'm pretty sure they call me the weird guy who buys nattou. :sweat:

Oh, I don't doubt that for a minute... But if you have to eat it with a clothespin on your nose, why bother? :beaten:

Some brands smells worst than others. The one I eat smells practically nothing. I tried a brand with some weird sauce that smelled like an old jockstrap once. After 3 bites, I had enough. :sweat:

yeah it's usually not the smell, it's the texture and the taste...but yeah i can see that the japanese hot mustard (karashi) would enhance the taste....

It could be my allergies that prevent me from smelling them... it tastes a bit nutty. I don't mind it with rice, but prefer it as is.

Somehow, I always knew frozen takoyaki couldn't taste as good as fresh ones, but still... I think I died a little inside. :puppydog:


Saw the word Ikea in the weather thread and now I'm craving Ikea meatballs. :banghead:
