Maciamo:cockroaches.... I just had to throw up! I must give it to you for being courageous. Never in a million years would I eat a roach.
Not even if I was in N.K. I would just go starving!
That must be an adventurous delicacy. More power to you!

I love pocky ^^ when my friend went to japan she brought back pocky for me and I have loved it ever since (i think i scared her i glomped her) I love sugar! if it has sugar it's good (okay there are exceptions.) although this sounds kind of disgusting to a lot of people, the other day my dad brought home domino's dots. U know the sugarry stuff that comes w./them? I sorta.....drank it. yummy! sugar!

Well, the "bun" part is cookie, the "burger" is chocolate, and then there are actually bits of sesame seeds on top as the sesame seeds. They are very tasty little hamburgers...

(I will exclude any non-Japanese snacks here.)

Pocky (all varieties), dried green peas with wasabi, lychee jelly, Hi-Chews (tried it once-not bad), tempura, drinks with boba, and some other snacks that I can't remember. I did try this shave ice that resembled cream anmitsu...actually I ate one of those yesterday at the mall. Now that I think about it, I think it probably was...

Just as a side note, at Suncoast, where I buy my anime DVDs, manga, and Newtype USA, they have a stall that sells many varities of Japanese snacks. Unfortunately, they're a little overpriced...\ /

They have pound cakes that look like a cut log with tree rings called Baum Kuchen (German for "tree cake") . But my German teacher in high school told me this was made up by the Japanese and it doesn't exist in Germany.

Why did that idiot tell you such nonsense? Of course it exists over here! Baumkuchen is a very well known and and well liked German speciality. Your teacher is a complete retard if he doesn't know that!
For some reason unbeknownst to me, it seems to be quite popular in Japan. Example: in the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion", when Asuka tells Shinji to think German (so he can synchronize), the only thing he can come up with is "Baumkuchen"
Here's a recipe if you want to try it out yourself:

"Why did that idiot tell you such nonsense? Of course it exists over here! Baumkuchen is a very well known and and well liked German speciality. Your teacher is a complete retard if he doesn't know that! "

I had that conversation with my teacher, a native of Kiel, who was not an idiot or retard by the way--he had a Ph.D., what degree do you have?--in the late 1970s which is about 25 years ago. Were you around in Germany 35 - 40 years ago when he was last there?

Has Baumkuchen always existed in Germany since time immemorial?

Or was it reverse-imported from Japan after it became popular in Japan?

Anman, mochi, edamame, onigiri, kaki, nashi, any kind of cake, macha aisu, 'dars' milk chocolate, lemonwater, green tea, hiamugi, cold and sweet milk coffee - and sometimes a 'sapporo super dry' or a good sake. (I leave away the non-japanese things)

BTW, Baumkuchen really is a well known traditional cake in Germany! I even watched a report in Japan about a japanese baker who went to Germany to learn how to do it. And my mum always told me, that she loved to eat it when she was still a child, that was back in the early Sixties and in North Germany, too! So, Golgo, in spite of your teacher having a Ph.D. he must have missed something there, I think. But according to my experience men often don't know about things like names of cakes and other stuff that is more 'women-related', especially those who are not that young anymore.
