Ah, nothing is like Chocolate!  Anyways, I use them by the handful in all sorts

True.  Either way, there are still lots of food items i havent tried yet.  What
I sincerely hope is that others will just 'try something new' now and again as
i do.

I have to backtrack on this.  Seems from 'google' that Panko is a wheat based
product from flaked bread.  What does that mean?  It means I'm getting
something we locally call 'panko' and cant tell the difference of at all in
looks or flavor but is made of rice.  Sasebo-ism?  Maybe it comes in rice
format too?

Now what the heck is the right name for the rice type?  Google says I'm all
wrong that it's rice based but it is I assure you here.  No doubt at all.

Here's the funny part about Japan.  No 'Asia grocery' who can translate.  Just
folks selling things with 'engrish' names and I've mentioned before that this
can be a trial when I try to post a recipe.  I didnt know there was a wheat
based bread version until I checked Google.

Grin, seems you have the name right and I have another product but you cant
tell the difference.
