Parent-Child Dish (complete)

When I was learning the basics of nihonggo1 I went to a local Japanese shop for some food Usually such places lack English menus So I thought, "hey, a good chance to review"

Looking at the menu I recognized some characters Like oya, ko, and don, in this particular order I knew oya meant parent and ko meant kid While don meant a rice bowl dish, just for me

Though I was neither a child nor a parent I wondered what a parent-child dish included I ordered one to satisfy my curiosity And my hara5 thanked me rather quickly

An oyakodon6 or parent-child dish is simply A chicken-egg rice dish with maybe some tamanegi7 At first I saw the name as very misleading But after a while I began to appreciate the meaning

Notes:

1 Nihonggo（日本語）＝ the Japanese language

2 Oya（親）＝ parent 3 Ko（子）＝ child, kid 4 Don（丼）＝ rice bowl dish

5 Hara（腹）＝ stomach

6 Oyakodon（親子丼）＝ chicken-egg rice dish 7 Tamanegi（玉ねぎ）＝ onion
