As the one of the Japanese sweets, there is Taiyaki, which
is a fish-shaped pancake filled with bean jam. Some people believe certain
traditions like superstitions about how to eat this sweet.
The traditions are below;
If we eat Taiyaki from the head, we will get smarter.
If we eat Taiyaki from the tail, our running skill will get
better.
If we eat Taiyaki from the body, we will get a tough body.
I’m not sure that these are just commonly held perceptions about
Taiyaki, but I have heard that most people have a tendency to think about these
traditions when they eat it.
Actually, I often eat Taiyaki from the head when I eat it. One
of the reasons is that I believe the traditions. In my case, however, the main
reason is that the part of the head of Taiyaki tends to have more contents of bean
jam than other parts.
It's interesting! When I eat Taiyaki I always bite from the tail, because I want to enjoy the most delicious part later!!
ReplyDeleteNice post! Perhaps the 'placebo effect' might play a role here? If you believe that eating Taiyaki from the head first will make you smarter perhaps you will try harder at your studies and get smarter. 'It's all in the mind.'
