did I miss something. How did takoyaki come up? I make a mean sukiyaki<br>
and a mean oknomiyaki but so far I only heated up frozen takoyaki or<br>

yakisoba which is really just the Japanese version of Chinese fried<br>
noodles. Yaki: to grill, bake or otherwise cook. The kanji looks like a<br>
oven on a table.<br>
