Takoyaki Part II

Making takoyaki again (see previous post The Takoyaking), but this time without my mom's help. I panicked when I couldn't find any octopus at the Galleria but eventually did get a hold of some frozen octopuses at a nearby Asian supermarket. (5 euros for a kilo, not bad at all!) The problem was, these ones weren't washed and boiled and prepared like the previous ones, so we had to do some google research on how one goes about boiling and preparing octopus. We had some squishy slimy fun.

Sorry for the bad quality, was in a bit of a hurry to get some things done.

The Takoyaking

I just love the variety of and the differences between cafeteria food you get in different countries. Wasn't really a fan of the yellow Kohlrabi sauce, but hey, it could have been worse . . .

mensa = student cafeteria

We did make something that wasn't cafeteria food, though: takoyaki! (savory, round octopus pancakes) Here's some pretty photos, a la PaRappa:

"M-I-X the flour (+egg, water, pickled ginger, and green onions) into the bowl! "

"Heat up the hot plate, now we're on a roll!"

"We're making us a (pan)cake that you've never seen before!"

"All we gotta do is apply the final touches."

I think we made about 68 in total. Yup. That was definitely enough for us.
