Official Kirby Cafes in Japan want diners to try 'Waddle Dee’s Fried Balls'
Internet users were left amused by the name of a dish on Japan’s official Kirby Cafés’ menus called “Waddle Dee’s Fried Balls.”
The dish was named after the story about the video game characters Kirby and a group of Waddle Dees that open a restaurant. Since they are unable to cook anything, the characters enlist Chef Kawasaki, and the Waddle Dees help to roll the pizza dough.
The accurate translation for the dish is “Waddle Dee’s Lightly Hand-Rolled Pikora,” while the English translation for the menus refer to it as “Waddle Dee’s Fried Balls.” The dish is made of fried pizza dough that comes with Cajun spices and maple syrup for dipping. It has reportedly been offered at Kirby Café locations since late 2019.
