(24754) Zellyfry Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 31 October 1992 by Hioki, T., Hayakawa, S. at Okutama.
The traditional food Zellyfry is made from potatoes and okra. Zellyfry is similar to Japanese Korokke but has no butter. Its name comes from the fact that it looks like zeni, old Japanese money. Its roots come from the Japanese-Russian war and the Chinese vegetable manju.Naming citation (20090607/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
