It is a yummy food like a little flour paste ball with octopus. According to a dictionary, takoyaki is a famous Osaka, Japan dumpling made of batter, octopus, tenkasu, pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (nori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings). Making takoyaki requires a takoyakiki, a special frying pan made of cast iron with hemispherical molds.A piece of octopus piece is in the middle of a round flour paste ball which is not 100% cooked. @sulev :)
And for the word itself. Tako = Octopus, yaki = fry/burn(can mean many things depending on the context). Yaki is a good word to know as you find it in many food related words. I guess you will know some of these words: teppanyaki, yakitori, teriyaki, sukiyaki.
@bontonstory, thanks for a nice write-up. Did you have coffee in that place?
