O-Chee-Ba

Thanks, Brian. That's what I thought.

I was told by some that have gone to Japan that is was pronounced O-Cha-Ba.

I think it was Waddy who said the Brits called Chagoi "terds" when the first got to England...

I wonder what they called Oh-Chee-ba's when they were first introduced to England? Maybe "terd's covered in leaves"....
