Wednesday In Japan... Revenge of the TAKO !

.

TAKO

or 

Octopus to many.

Much like squid, cuttlefish or calamari, unless it is battered and fried

 many people will not eat it.  And squid ink pasta oh the horror !

And octopus, I  mean who eats octopus ?

Me !

.

I thank my fabulous Mum who exposed all of her children to eating wonderful,

nutritious and different food. Fish was one of them. 

Not just that battered fish like food called fish sticks of the 50's 

In fact I usually will pick a fish dinner over a meat one.

.

Octopus oh no !...  but really what person outside the UK doesn't look aghast

at something called Spotted Dick ?  hahahahahahaha

.

Anyways, what got me on this ramble was " The Happy Whisk" blogger

was very excited to find a "Babycakes Cupcake Maker".  A round small cake ball maker.

I have a Takoyaki pan that makes the small savory batter round snacks

filled with a small piece of tako.

I was wondering if I could use a cake batter to make a sweet round cupcake.

And yes, not filled with a piece of tako. 

I hear you William !

 

Many of you have seen this "Cooking With Dog" already but who can resist Francis ?

Tako Tako Tako Tako
