This cooking tip for Steak from Jamie Oliver is good too:

Using a yeast dough or short dough, you can make scones together with butter, eggs, milk, sour cream, the Hungarian way.  Sometimes, they are mini ones, topped with cheeses of various types. I particularly like those with pork crackling! Tepertő is the sinful addition, but it makes Pogacsa so special in taste and so addictive. You may also find other types like with poppy seeds, caraway seeds, garlic, sweet paprika, black pepper, sesame seeds, some even sunflower seeds. Even the sizes and consistency inside differs from place to place. Traditionally, Pogacsa is an appetiser or snack or finger food at parties, during small gatherings, meetings, discussions. Some people also eats it together with goulash.

Taiyaki (鯛焼き, literally "baked sea bream") is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Other common fillings may be custard, chocolate, cheese, or sweet potato. Some shops even sell taiyaki with okonomiyaki, gyoza filling, or a sausage inside. Taiyaki is made using regular pancake or waffle batter. The batter is poured into a fish-shaped mold for each side. The filling is then put on one side and the mold is closed. It is then cooked on both sides until golden brown. - source: wikipedia
