Talk:Taiyaki

This article seems like a joke, the popular culture is larger than the main article itself!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.4.23.101 (talk) 01:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Changes: I removed the marger suggestion as there was no discussion on it. While the two cakes are pretty much identical, the pages for each are filled with their own respective cultures and languages (Korean and Japanese) and that would be lost if they are merged.

I corrected the description slightly to dscribe it as a cake or sweet, not a waffle, which is misleading. I also added different types of fillings and how it is made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resce (talk • contribs) 00:59, 14 July 2006

The references to Anime and computer games are pure trivia and should be deleted. 86.25.244.251 (talk) 22:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

- Why is taiyaki considered a "bread-related stub"? It's a confection not a bread. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.112.106 (talk • contribs) 06:00, 11 November 2006

Can someone explain how you can just put batter in two sides of a mold then put them together and cook it? If you put the two sides together a 'batter' should fall out. A dough wouldn't, is it a dough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 04:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You put batter in both halves of the mould; when it firms up you put the filling in

one side and very quickly flip the other half to join. 86.25.244.251 (talk) 22:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Why is it shaped like a fish?

I think this information needs to be in the article, if anyone knows. 71.198.56.105 (talk) 08:44, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Sea bream is a symbol of felicity in Japan. The Japanese word for sea bream, tai, sounds similar to the word "mede-tai" or "felicity" and ,what is more, it is auspiciously red in color. I have seen some articles on the internet that the owner of Naniwaya made the Taiyaki inspired from "Kintsuba"(another kind of Japanese sweets), and shaped it like a Sea bream so that people would buy it expecting good luck. I don't believe those articles are based on a reliable source, so we need a definite information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.100.126.222 (talk) 10:46, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

merge with Bungeoppang?

Taiyaki is shaped like a sea bream, while bungeoppang is shaped like a carp. 2A00:23C6:BE86:B401:356C:9ACA:CED9:D2A6 (talk) 06:29, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Toxic Avenger 2

There is a scene in "Toxic Avenger 2", where Toxie uses a Taiyaki iron on a man's nose, thereby molding it into a fish. I was going to provide a youtube link here in the talk page, just so y'all could see exactly what I was talking about, but I guess that is not allowed, eh? well, I'm sure if you want you can search for "the best scenes" of that movie, and maybe it'll come up around 4:08, if you're lucky. Anyway, maybe this could be mentioned somewhere in the article, under an "In Popular Culture" heading? OwlParty (talk) 02:18, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Most common filling

I don't think anko is the most common filling anymore. Custard is probably most common now. 124.110.22.245 (talk) 16:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
