GROUP BUY: Ham Sandwich
#259
Just checking in on the group buy while freezing my *** off here in the UK.
Well... here's 2011. Another year rolls by and still no sandwich. If this goes on for another year, I might start doubting whether it will ever happen.

What?! I had nothing to do with the ohnoonmykayak. Or whatever it is.
EDIT:
Just looked it up. This okonomiyaki stuff looks hella good. Also, it doesn't seem that hard to pronounce. Kinda like "economy" but with an "O" instead of and "E" and then yaki.
I still like ohnoonmykayak though.

Osaka-style okonomiyaki is the predominant version of the dish, found throughout most of Japan. The batter is made of flour, grated yam, water or dashi, eggs and shredded cabbage, and usually contains other ingredients such as green onion, meat (generally pork or bacon), octopus, squid, shrimp, vegetables, kimchi, mochi or cheese. Okonomiyaki is sometimes compared to an omelette or a pancake and may be referred to as "a Japanese pancake" or even "Osaka soul food."[1]
Most okonomiyaki restaurants are grill-it-yourself establishments, where the server produces a bowl of raw ingredients that the customer mixes and grills at tables fitted with teppan, or special hotplates. They may also have a diner-style counter where the cook prepares the dish in front of the customers.

In Osaka (the largest city in the Kansai region), where this dish is said to have originated, okonomiyaki is prepared much like a pancake. The batter and other ingredients are fried on both sides on either a teppan or a pan using metal spatulas that are later used to slice the dish when it has finished cooking. Cooked okonomiyaki is topped with ingredients that include ota***u/okonomiyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce but thicker and sweeter), aonori (seaweed flakes), katsuobushi (bonito flakes), Japanese mayonnaise, and pickled ginger (beni shoga).
