peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1spade-roast or thin-sliced roast Explanation: According to 広辞苑： 屋外で鍬の上にのせて焼いて焼いて食べたからととも、肉をすき身（薄切り）にしたからともいう。 Kooji-en dictionary: It is said that it is because people ate it outside roasting it on spades (like barbeque but then with spades -Alwin), or also it`s said that the name derives from having the meat cut into suki-mi (i.e. thin slices). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs 20 mins (2003-08-11 08:45:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction: One times ”焼いて” -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs 26 mins (2003-08-11 08:50:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- すき身suki-mi: Probably suki comes from ¥"sukeru¥" (that it lets light through; transparant), meaning that the slices were (very) thin. --> Suki-yaki then could also mean thin-roasted, or something like that. |
