[Discussion] Possible explanation for Mochimerica's lettuce?

[kecen.livejournal.com]

So, I know by now Mochimerica and lettuce have become mimetic.

Well I just remembered. In addition to looking like Mochi, Mochimerica looks like a steamed bun: 




My mother makes these sometimes, and guess what she cooks them on to prevent sticking?

Lettuce leaves.

So, Mochimerica could be a steamed bun cooked on lettuce. The steamer is his Mommy and the lettuce is his Daddy.

Let's talk about the biological properties of mochi nations some more.

I-I'm hungry now. *drools*

But I also remember that if you put the moves on Mochimerica, he blinks you out of existence. D:

Not.... A good thing.... To come across when I haven't eaten for 24 hours and in additional of pulling all nighters..

RECIPE FROM YOUR MOM PLEASE?

[kecen.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's just lettuce lining.

[allu-kun.livejournal.com]

chiisana00 means the recipe for the steamed buns. I for one second this request, as they look absolutely scrumptious. ^_^

I don't think the website has a recipe (it's probably a secret). The ones I've had are always twisted at the top. The filling is usually pork, green onions, etc.

Isn't mochi totally different from steamed bun?

In Japan, it's common for mochi to be wrapped in leaves but not lettuce...

I thought sensei was treating mochi like a pet XD (rabbit specifically)

[kecen.livejournal.com]

I think the closest animal would be a rabbit, because rabbits like leafy greens o3o

In my country, we just use baking paper to prevent them from sticking ._.

And steamed bun cannot stretch like a mochi =3=

Re: Yum.

Those aren't mochi, they're bao zi (not nearly as squishy or stretchable)

[webcomix.livejournal.com]

One, you're awesome.
Two, that's a really serious epiphany, if the mochis are really buns.

Though I doubt it. They have been shown to be very glutinously stretchable...
So sadly, I think I'll agree with mame_meme with the pet feeding theory.

mmmm Pau. =w= (lol Pau is what we call steam buns locally)
You're making me crave it DDD8<

Anyway, /if/ Mochimerica is a steamed bun, I wonder what filling will he has...

[kecen.livejournal.com]

He's filled...with other mochi (http://ask-mochiamerica.tumblr.com/post/10388492364/gosh-silly-everymochi-knows-that-its-not-mochi).
