| Reference | 108 yahoo.co.jp hits for 鯨のころ. Some examples:
母はほとんど毎日おでん作っていましたね 。。。 やっぱり鯨のころというのが入っていたからでしょうか みんな大好きでしたまたコロ食べてみたいです 今売ってないです〜 鯨のころ、実は見たことも食べたこともないの。 今日お客さんに聞いたけど”知らん”て。 鯨のころ"って初めて聞いたわ~。鯨の肉って小学生の時給食で出た竜田揚げしか知らないかも。 おでんに入ってたの? |
| Comment | Often used as 鯨のころ（くじらのころ）. It used to be a popular ingredient for 関東煮 (or おでん) in the Kansai area. It has become a rather obscure term since whale meat and its byproducts are no longer generally available in the market. |
