INSTEAD OF BLOSSOMS! _____
HANA yori dango!
flower than dumpling
= "dango instead of flowers" is a saying
somewhat akin to the archaic saying "pudding before praise". is a
sort of dumpling. The point being that you can eat or pudding, but
(flowers) or praise doesn't fill your stomach.
BTW, the meaning of the saying has no bearing on Kyousuke's line above. I
just point it out to show why he chose those two seemingly incongruous items.>
