Disgusting-looking but yummy food
We had a small 27th birthday celebration for my friend Naoki at a local Okonomiyaki (self-made fried thickass savory pancakes, if you will) place. I thought it would be a good idea to show off the kinds of things we enjoy eating sometimes.
I'll eternally think you're extra-special (isn't that reward enough?) if you can comment and guess some ingredients that make up this masterpiece.
Extra-extra-extra-special bonus points if you can figure out how one eats it.
Anyone who has lived in/visited Japan doesn't count (sorry, those 3 readers, no extra-special points for you this time)!
The black surface you see is a heated frying surface built into your table.

eggs are in it I bet... and I bet you eat it by rolling it up and eating it with your hands. ??

Happy Belated Birthday my friend. I hope it was a good one no matter what you ate. Personally I would prefer a Hot Italian meal and chocolate cake, but then again when in Japan....

eggs flour scallion bonito worchestshire mayonnaise cabbage over noodles like yakisoba.
I used to have it a lot in the east village, but they made it in the back and served it right on top of the noodles.

Close, but not quite. What you ate was Okonomiyaki, which is in the same family (I guess) in that you prepare it the same way and can get it in the same restaurant.
For one, this lacks the noodles and the eggs.
Any more takers?
