No. You expect to see some variety of bean paste, of course. Fish have been eating bean paste for centuries. That's why ol' grandma's fish are filled with bean paste. Mystery solved.

I asked Hwang about the Portuguese connection and he said the pang thing is from French, but Korean definitely has Porto influences, for example, "Tam-bey" for tobacco.<BR/><BR/>The more I learn, the deeper the fish bread mystery grows!Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492955225793619768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125128490848394328.post-69621940092405022442008-12-01T21:40:00.000+09:002008-12-01T21:40:00.000+09:00Here in Japan bread is also called pan.

Odeng, by the way, comes from oden, Japanese reconstituted fish soup (unless I've got it backwards). We've also got fish bread here too, called taiyaki (literally, grilled bream). I've never had it do I don't know if there's beans inside, but I'm pretty sure that whatever it is, it's not fish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
