  1. Wow, I'm learning now cooking method in japanese class too! But it's harder than English!

    I have two questions:
    - What is the difference between crunchy and crispy?
    - What does sticky means?

  2. best to think about the food that are like that
    crispy = most things that are frieds.. chicken, potato chips, french fries (pleasantly hard on the outside)
    crunchy = peanuts, cereal (firm, when you bite it, it makes a noise)
    sticky = caramel, the floor of a movie theatre (spilled pop, chewed gum + candy etc.)
