>"parent-child" bowl 親子丼 vs. "strangers" bowl 他人丼
What is oyakodon (親子丼)? This donburi dish comes with chicken and eggs. A family assembled in a bowl.
親 (parent) + 子 (child) + 丼 (bowl) = oyakodon
What is in tanindon (他人丼)? This donburi comes with meat (beef, pork...) and eggs, that is to say, strangers gathered in a bowl.
他 (other, third) + 人 (person) + 丼 (bowl) = tanindon
Don't like parents or strangers? You want to go simply eggy? Then 卵丼 it is.
卵 (egg) + 丼 (bowl) = tamagodon
Don't like bowls? Omuraisu, then - not tonight, though, brat.
