Sushi rule

HexadecimalSky @lemmy.world - 1.0yr

Reminds me that like the California roll, Philadelphia roll and ig using stuff like cream cheese, just wasn't a thing in Japan, they are American things, but as Japense tourists came to america and had them, they started wanting them back home and some people are pissed Japense sushi is being "Americanized"

Yep, rolls originally weren't a thing in Japan. Sushi rolls started with the California Roll, which was invented in Little Tokyo, LA. Traditional Japanese sushi is just rice and fish, with freshly-grated Wasabi sandwiched in between.

rolls are a thing. it's different though, with seaweed wrap on the outside, instead of rice. it's called makizushi.

You might want to re-read my comment because I carefully worded it. I know that rolls are currently a thing in Japan.

i know what you meant. i was saying rolls started in Japan, it wasn't invented by the American. The American just invented a specific style of rolls that have rice on the outside.

I add cream cheese to my Dragon rolls. It's delicious with eel.

TIL about American sushi. I was wondering why the sushi looked weird, sushi typically has seaweed outside where I live.

japanese people complaining about cultural influence is fucking laughable, they LOVE novelty stuff from other countries and fundamental things like panko is like 100 years old and gets the name from the portuguese word for bread..

Surprised they didn't complain about the sushi being a roll of canned tuna with cream cheese. I wouldn't worry about the ranch.

They complained it wasn’t American cheese

If the sushi is fish, they should be using tartar sauce

Food doesn't evolve in a vacuum. I love how cultures meeting also means developing music, traditions, music and food. Vietnamese is fusion of Asia and France. Viet-Cajun is vietnamese in the south of US. And then you get the marvelous vier-cajun-viet! British Indians developing the food.

Salmon sushi is Norwegian (ish) so different sauce on sushi...bring it on

i always like immigrant restaurants because they give precisely 0 fucks and will just smush together their cuisine with the native cuisine and create something effectively completely new that tastes amazing and is often pretty easy to cook as well (presumably since they want it to be cheap).

e.g. british indian food, nordic kebab/pizza, thai restaurants, etc etc

Frostbeard @lemmy.world - 12mon

Norway at least has food wise benefited immensely from immigration. You always har fine dining with French or Italian inspired food. But I am old enough to remember when TexMex became available in stores and how exotic it was.

Swedneck @discuss.tchncs.de - 12mon

yeah my dad has talked about having pizza the first time and how it was a whole thing, meanwhile i'm grown up with pizzerias staffed by middle eastern dudes being as much of a staple as grocery stores.. i quite prefer it this way.

Put some soy sauce in the ranch and problem solved.

Side-eyes the chunks of Creme-cheese in those Sushi Rolls ... yes, the ranch-dipping crosses some sort of line, I guess.

The Philadelphia roll is pretty good though. Reminds me of bagels and lox. Why gatekeep, friend?

Skullgrid @lemmy.world - 1.0yr

because fish and dairy is an iffy combination.

Jessica - 1.0yr

For you maybe, but bagels and lox is fire. Definitely worth trying.

Skullgrid @lemmy.world - 1.0yr

I'm all right thanks, I prefer salt beef bagels.

MachineFab812 @discuss.tchncs.de - 1.0yr

I actually love all of it, minus any need for adding ranch dressing. Just saying that you, me, and OP have no grounds to diss it.

Jessica - 1.0yr

True. I’ve got to imagine it is not good, like at all. But there is this nihilistic bastard in my head gaslighting me; Maybe it’s not so bad. We care about nothing, Lebowski. Point being there is a non-zero chance that this is legit. Probably terrible, but I am saying that there’s a chance.

2
MachineFab812 @discuss.tchncs.de - 1.0yr

I'm betting it tastes like slightly chewy ranch dressing.
