cultural crossovers-(term, not a pastry)

Japanese Tako salad-can you believe it? There actually
are no tacos in this salad,
just octopus!

not to be confused with the Tex Mex taco salad. Personally, I enjoy both tacos and salad but separately, not mixed together

Japanese Bonito Flakes, these are not pretty flakes (bonito means pretty in Spanish), but dried tuna, and just to confuse the issue even more I am talking about tuna the fish, not tuna the cactus fruit. Aye! Dios Mio
