/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I live in Japan and people here genuinely think that corn on pizza is delicious and some sort of hidden italian delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about italian food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "italian" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking japanese ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding jap shit like raw squid and eel and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real italian food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal bread or cheese is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting cheese in all the time I've lived here, and good bread is about as rare as a properly paid salaryman. These people are born on this island, they will live their whole lives on this island, and they will die on this island without ever tasting real bread or cheese in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no japanese person actually knows what real italian food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "honto ni umaiiiii uwuwuwuwu" and everyone thinks this is what real italian food is like. It's just sad. "OOOOOhhhh rettsu addu fishu eggu andu seaweedu to pasta carbonara don't u kno this is how rearu itarian peeporu eat!!!". The worst part for me is that japan doesn't just massacre classic italian food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. French, spanish, mexican, turkish, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow foreign so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in soy sauce and raw octopus to make it "authentic european" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some japanese food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

Tl;dr the thread.

>I love me some japanese food
You like incredibly bland food from people who only know that one of the 5 flavors exists and who are obsessed with chewing huge chunks of fat for some reason?

>>13395994
This post smell rike duck sauce

>>13395982
it's another "flyover cleetus ventures to the county seat to try the newfangled sushi" thread

>>13395990

>>13396010
>one of the 5 flavors exists
They identified and classified a new element of what makes food flavorful (umami) so they are significantly more advanced and sophisticated than your nugget, burger, cheetoh, hfcs "cuisine."

>>13396115
Only Americans eat duck sauce

>>13396311
They discovered umami. Did they discover the other flavors? Based on their food I doubt it.

>>13395982
>sashimi
>asians are obsessed with eating massive mouthfuls of food for some reason
lol. Average sashimi dimensions are 2 inches in length and 1/16th of an inch in width.
Please post your hilariously tiny mouth.

>>13396404
>2 inches in length
More like 4
How about roll sushi or those fucking cones? Gooks just love to stuff huge amounts of food in their mouth. It's disgusting.

>>13396413
You're wrong and even then that would still be smaller than a hot dog or a hamburger. Post your hilariously tiny mouth.

>>13396347
They also did not discover that. Discovering a dimension of flavor like that is not a goddamn thing. Preserves have had that for centuries regardless of where they developed. They just gave it a name that gets repeated by twats whenever they happen to taste something especially stimulating to the part of the tongue that detects savory notes.

>>13396334
I never found the use for duck sauce until recently.

Microwaving your leftover Chinese? Add just a bit of the duck sauce to the rice and some soy sauce and it helps the heat distribute better while adding moisture, so you don't end up with dry grains and gritty texture.

I have no idea what else it's for though.

>>13396425
>Americans eat a hamburger in one bite
Meanwhile in japan these are all supposed to be eaten in one bite. 2 inches my ass

>>13396435
Noooo stupid put it in a bowl and cover that with a plate leaving a bit of space for air to escape. Dry shitty rice problem solved.

>>13396444
I'm not stupid :( I'm lazy
nice trips

just fold it over dude lol

eat it with soy sauce, seaweed, eggs or all.

rinse with ginger

enjoy with warm sake

>>13396468
>just fold it

>>13395982
I don't eat rice so sashimi is where it's at for me. I love sashimi, but if you don't like it maybe you can just cut it up and turn it into a seafood bowl or a poke bowl?

I take tuna and salmon and marinate it in a mixture and then add it to rice and veggies. Or I will make a sauce to pour on top of it. That might be a good way to hide the flavor of the fish for you or just stick to sushi instead.

Sushhhiiii

>>13397238
you forgot your soy wojak face

Nobody else wants to defend the honor of raw fish slices?

>>13396546
>might be a good way to hide the flavor of the fish
Why even bother if that's what you're going for? Eat canned tuna or fucking chicken breast if you're just in it for the protein or whatever.

>>13395990
This is true for most countries/cultures though. Import some foreign cuisine and adjusting it too your customers/market is one of the oldest characteristics of cultural exchange.

>>13395982
Try more flavorful fish like mackarels, or use a dip like vinegar, citrus, or soy sauce.
If you still don't like that then raw fish isn't your thing, and it's not a big deal.

>>13395990
>go to country X

Or what anon, are the sushi police going to arrest you? Take however many bites you prefer you retarded zoomer down syndrome baby.

>>13397834
were you eating it in Japan? If not the quality and preparation were inferior. You can't be human and not like quality fresh raw salmon

>>13398103
I'm just saying that gooks like to shove huge chunks of food in their mouths. I didn't think this was controversial.

>>13398117
Doesn't Japan legally have to freeze fish solid for three days before serving, and consider the "fresh fish" thing a foreign meme?

>>13398117
Not not in japan, but within 20 miles of the ocean. I even had locally caught striped bass once, it was disgusting.

>>13398124
hi! you can fold a piece of salmon in half and eat it like that. the only sushi rolls i have ever had issues with are the philedelphia roll because shoving a shitton of creamcheese in there will make you puke

>>13395982
>the pieces are always way too big because asians are obsessed with eating massive mouthfuls of food for some reason
>>13398124
>gooks like to shove huge chunks of food in their mouths
>massive
>huge chunks

You say this as a westerner where "a steak" is a meal, you've got pounds of meat all in one solid chunk that you have to cut yourself with a fork and knife while you're eating.

Japan doesn't use forks and knives, because all of their food is sliced before serving. Honestly what kind of tiny baby mouth do you have if a tiny thing of sashimi is too much for you to handle?

>>13398141
Do you have a learning disability? How does folding something in half change it's total displacement? Why are you in such denial about Japanese eating habits?

>>13398153
I don't understand. What does Western portion size have to do with the amount of food consumed per bite by the Japanese?

>>13398153
This is such a shitty post.
You should feel ashamed of it.

>>13398126
>legally have to
no, it's more of an issue of convenience and hygiene because fishing boats will be miles away for a couple of days so the first fish that they catch will be half rotten by the time they get back to shore and deliver the fish to a market or supplier.

It's not all fish though, whatever is caught more inland doesn't have to be frozen for quality's sake.

Flyovers shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion on anything.

>>13397885
>>13397915
seething

>>13398163
What I don't understand is you looking at a single slice of sashimi and going OH NO! WHAT A HUGE MOUTHFUL OF FOOD I CAN'T POSSIBLY FIT THIS IN MY MOUTH I'LL DISLOCATE MY JAW

it's literally just slices of fish, how is this an issue for you

what mongolian BBQ restaurants are you getting your sashimi at where the fish slices are the size of whole apples and it's a struggle to eat

>>13398163
>the amount of food consumed per bite
what do you even mean by this

>>13398124
Gook is the racial epithet for Koreans, or sometimes Southeast Asians in general like the Vietnamese. You can't conflate Koreans with the Japanese, that's stupid. The Japanese are conscientious perfectionists mostly associated with wholesome neat stuff like high quality cartoons, Wagyu beef, honor suicides, cute submissive girls, and sumo wrestling. Koreans are brain dead slopeheads mostly associated with bad things like compulsive plastic surgery, shitty K-pop, dog soup, fermented cabbage, and an irrational fear of dying in your sleep if a tabletop electric fan is left running.

>>13398200
Imagine caring enough about gooks to bother using the right racial epithet for each one of them. Calling nips gooks is even more insulting if anything.

>>13398178
Japan uses frozen fish for sushi as much as the us.

>>13398200
Gook applies to all the slope heads including the nips.

>>13398199
I mean the stuff a big ole hunk of fish in their mouths when they eat instead of cutting them to smaller more reasonable pieces when they prepare it. It's not a difficult concept. You can reference the image in the op if that helps get it through your thick skull.

>>13398213
The difference is obvious if you ever start traveling. It's like thinking Canadians are the same as Brazilians.

>>13398222
Nah, gook is Korean War shit later extended to Vietnam War shit. It's never been for Japan. WWII you had nips or japs.

>>13398124
>I'm just saying that gooks like to shove huge chunks of food in their mouths

>>13398230
>difference is obvious if you ever start traveling
*Point sails over your head off into the distance*

>>13398230
But gook also refers to nips.
It wouldn't make sense if anon referred to all the other gooks as nips, or japs though, because those are directly national identifiers, but I still would give anyone a pass since there isn't a real difference between all of the chinks even though the nips tried really hard to try, and separate themselves.

>>13398248
Being wrong isn't the same as not having your wrong idea read.

>>13398240
Why is this so hard for you to process? I don't care about your obsession with american proles, we are talking about gooks.

>>13398236
It's not ww2 anymore, and calling fuji a gook is perfectly acceptable.

>>13398249
>But gook also refers to nips.
It doesn't. Koreans or Vietnamese, with maybe some validity when extended to Southeast Asians in general. You're mixing up decent people with shit people here.

>>13398229
>big ole hunk of fish in their mouths when they eat instead of cutting them to smaller more reasonable pieces

HOW FUCKING MICROSCOPIC DO YOU NEED YOUR PIECES TO BE LOL JESUS JAPANESE FOOD IS THE SMALLEST PORTIONS EVER

>>13398256
>Nips
>decent people
It took two bombs, and they still can't pass for decent, at best they try to pretend to be decent on a global scale, but they fail the moment you actually follow up, and learn more

>>13398257
Why are you unable to understand the difference between portion size (the total amount of food in a dish) and bite size (the size of each individual pice of food in the dish)?

>>13398277
Anon is a retarded zipperhead.

>>13398256
>Japs
>Decent people
The fucking gooks committed horrible war crimes against American soldiers, far worse than anything the Nazis did to us.

>>13396010
Imagine being proud of having absolute shit taste and thinking that your contrarian opinion that McDonald's food is legitimately better than Michelin star cuisine is not only profound, but makes you exceptionally intelligent in the culinary world.

>>13398286
Where the fuck is anyone talking about McDonalds? I don't eat fast food.

>>13395990
They're just appropriating American culture, as they have been doing ever since the end of WWII.

>>13398293
>Where the fuck is anyone talking about McDonalds?
Nobody was talking about McDonald's, but anon was hurt that people didn't enjoy their country's cuisine, so she lashed back.
>I don't eat fast food.
Sushi is fast food.

>>13398277
Because both their portions and bite sizes are tiny little baby sizes like how is sashimi a struggle for you I seriously can;t understand the issue

do you have to cut an apple into 128 pieces because you can't bite into it?

>restaurants make shitty adaptations for their customers' shitty tastes
>anon thinks it's the original country's fault

>>13398312
>Sushi is fast food.
It can be, like hamburgers. It's not inherently fast food though.

>>13398355
>It's not inherently fast food though.
It is inherently fast food, and that's why modern sushi exists.

>>13398284
America were too pussy to commit war crimes like a big boy. Would be better if the allies lost.

>>13396413
This is from the specs of an automatic sushi maker, the largest rice lump mold makes pieces 2.1 inches along the longest side. Either you've got a mouth like a clenched anus or your local sushi chef has giant hands.

>>13398362
>Would be better if the allies lost
Didn't the Allies actually lose in nip history?

Will OP deliver and post his tiny mouth that cannot handle the massive girth of literally bite-sized fish slices over grains of rice?

>>13398360
>It is inherently fast food
Not in the modern sense of it.

>>13398333
It's literally just sliced fish. They don't do anything to it except slice it. How do you make it wrong?

>>13398390
Throw a big hunk of fish on that 30g piece and it becomes pretty big. When you eat with a spoon do you pile as much food as possible on it so that it's a big fucking shovel full of food? Because that's what you would have to do to get close to a pice of sushi.

>>13398415
Seething gook

>>13398453
>It's literally just sliced fish
sashimi, yes. but not sushi.

you can make it wrong by obviously cutting it wrong

>>13398397
No, they're totally aware that they had to stop fighting when nuclear bombs were dishonorably dropped and their country, and about how unfair that was because their army had only been defending the nation.

>>13398466

>>13398419
>Not in the modern sense of it.
Explain why you think this.

>>13398473
But they tell me that the bombs wasn't what caused them to surrender.

Totally normal amount of food to put in your mouth at once coming through. Nothing large about these big fucking pieces of fish.
Do gooks not understand how freakish the way they eat food is? (It's disgusting)

>>13398466
>a big hunk of fish
stop getting your sushi from California or Seattle or whatever you're from, or stretch out that cute tiny little mouth of yours until you're able to eat bite-sized food in one bite.

>>13398488
>lemon slice to scale

tiny mouth OP is probably looking at that lemon slice like "who put this watermelon on there what a sick joke they except me to eat this entire pumpkin in one bite"

>>13395982
I don't know. I for one wouldn't ever eat my fish raw and soy sauce tastes fucking horrible.

>>13398473
>Oh bombing our country dishonorabu
>Lol it's totally fine that we bombed pearl harbor
Fuck the gooks. They did shit like tying american troops to submarines and diving under water. They tortured and executed basically every soldier they captured. I don't really care about what they did to the other bugs but it was pretty fucked up. Things like force impregnating women and then infecting them with viruses to see how it killed the fetus, then cutting it and their organs out while they were alive and without anesthesia so they could study them.

>>13398508
B-but have you seen barefoot sadnip, and other fictional anime explaining ww2?

Nazis were doing the same thing, but those scientists were swept up by the US and Europe, given a fake last name, and helped build things like the Apollo rockets.

Anyways go back to tell us about how sushi is literally impossible to eat,

>>13398521
>it's okay because Nazis did a gorrilion
This is the weakest excuse IMO.

>>13398521
The japs dis everything the nazis did and worse and on a much larger scale. Really they got off easy getting a few citys firebombed and having two nukes dropped on them. We should have just looked the other way and let the Chinese finish them off after we crushed and disarmed them.

>>13398539
>it's okay
Didn't say it was okay, but trying to justify your small mouth and inability to eat sushi because of war crimes that happened 75 years ago before the Geneva Convention is pretty silly if you ask me.

You don't see me being mad at bratwurst and being autistic about ausschwitz or anything

>>13398548
>and on a much larger scale
That not true, regardless of how huge sushi appears to be in your eyes.

>>13395982
I made the same mistake recently. Ended up drowning it in soy sauce and wasabi. Had barely any flavor, and was mostly just gelatinous. And before >>13396126
chimes in, I live in DC.

>>13398575
>I live in DC.
Sushi is bad/mutated in America even if you're some coastal elite.

>>13398561
>Didn't say it was okay,
Your post heavily implied that it was okay, because Nazis. I don't care for your backtracking, and ignorant attempts to justify, and defend imperial Japan (or modern nipdom).
Just remember that I will kick your stupid gay teeth in one day, because /ck/ has previously nominated me as world's most powerful being as such is the duty of being the boards most alpha.

>>13398561
>before the Geneva Convention
Weird that all the non insect countries didn't need the fucking Geneva convention to know that germ warfare and mass rape and slaughter of civilians was not okay.
>Bu-but the European baking championships
We executed a lot of germans after the war. Yet the gooks got to keep their emperor.
>>13398568
The gooks slaughtered 10k Chink civilians in one weekend after Doolittle's bombing run.

I wasn't defending them either, just wondering you're upset at 70 year old war crimes and what that's got to do with American sushi

>>13398598

Are you having a stroke?

>>13398613
Do krauts stuff the whole brautwurst into their mouth at once?

Just more totally normal amounts of food to stuff in your moth coming through.

I love this pasta

haha of course not that'd be ridiculous, bratwurst is not bite-sized food.

sushi is though

Poke is just cubed food. It's not necessarily marinated sauce on fish and veggies, dumbass.

>>13398688
Oh so now it is huge? But the dainty gooks would never make sushi that big right?
No that would never happen, this image is totally not from jiro's meme restaurant.

>>13398730
post tiny mouth to scale
of course anything looks huge when you take a macro picture of it

>>13398745
I'm sorry that you gooks struggle with spacial geometry. Everyone else can tell those are fucking huge. Is this image easier for you to process?

>>13398745
It's half the size of jiro. Jiro, and sons probably had to take off shoes, bow to flag, and sensei before stepping on the plate to assemble, and then bowed out after assembly before stepping off of the plate.

I'm a weeaboo and I think sushi is way overrated. Some of it is pretty good if prepared well, but redditors act like its the greatest thing ever when its just fucking rice and raw fish and seaweed prepared so it looks pretty. I think jap street food, stuff like takoyaki and yakitori is where it's really at.

>>13398759

Is this why you're literally the only person on planet earth who thinks that sushi pieces are way too huge for a human mouth

>>13398773
I've never really had a problem chewing an entire piece, if I ever do I just eat half. I don't get why you are so autistic about this.

>>13398791

that's huge, no human mouth could ever take a piece of that

Can't do that in Japan, the Sushi chef would have to kill themselves for bringing dishonor to their restaurant.

>>13398841
>RAW FISH, RICE, AND VEGETABLES in a fucking BOWL
I don't get what I'm supposed to be grossed out at here

is it the bowl? cause everything else is just normal food and ingredients

>>13398326
I bet you live in flyover America and the local sushi place you go to gives you extremely small pieces and your stupid ass thinks you have experience with “sushi”

>>13398849
Because a bite is a bite.

Unless one has an exceptionally large mouth, or an exceptionally tiny mouth like OP seemingly has, there is no real variation in "food per bite"

>>13398866
>a piece of sushi is expected to be eaten in one bite
Name any other food like this, a majority of other foods the amount of food per bite is much more modular due to the use of utensils or having something that is much larger in scale (like a sandwich, or burrito).

The only way you could eat a sushi roll similar to sandwiches or burritos is if you didn’t slice it up, and desu that sounds very interesting to me at this point

>>13398866
Nice get btw

>>13398873
>Name any other food like this
idk whatever finger food like pigs in a blanket, chicken nuggets, whatever

>The only way you could eat a sushi roll similar to sandwiches or burritos is if you didn’t slice it up, and desu that sounds very interesting to me at this point
They're not similar because they're apples and oranges. A sandwich or burrito or burger or something you have to hold in your hands and bite from it. Sushi is ready to eat whole bite sized pieces handled with chopsticks.

>>13398913
Sashimi is sometimes too big to eat, and sushi rolls are made in an actual roll and then sliced up. Sashimi can be made to be bite sized but it’s always annoyingly big, and it becomes unpleasantly slimy to have a huge hunk of fish in your mouth all by itself with rice.

It’s like if you took a corn dog and sliced it up and ate it with a fork. But instead with raw fish and rice.

>>13398933
>Sashimi is sometimes too big to eat
>it’s always annoyingly big

tfw your mouth is so small that sashimi goes from "sometimes" too big to "always" big in the same post.

>and it becomes unpleasantly slimy to have a huge hunk of fish in your mouth all by itself with rice.
>all by itself
>with rice
so it's all by itself but at the same time with another ingredient, schroedinger's sushi.

I was gonna say that the way to eat sushi is also to dip it in soy sauce but you're gonna complain that soy sauce is too spicy or something

>>13398959
You absolute fucking retard, you don’t even know what sushi and sashimi are do you? Do you know the difference fuckstick?

Sashimi = rice with fish/other sea creatures on top
Sushi = a roll with fish/other sea creatures and other toppings in the middle of said roll with rice on the outside

So listen here NIGGER, sashimi is always too big, rolls are OKAY unless the chef is retarded and makes them with a huge radius

>>13398985
>Sashimi = rice with fish/other sea creatures on top
No, that's nigiri sushi.

Sashimi is literally just sliced fish/meat, sometimes over shredded daikon but there is no rice involved.

>>13399014
Eh fuck nip shit then it’s all too big

>>13399028
>Japanese have big amazing dicksucking mouths

>>13399028
I definitely know japs have smaller mouths than me so how they manage this shit is perplexing, but as others have pointed out, it’s culturally considered good to be a loud awful eater Bc it implies the food is “good”. It’s obviously so people are loud and obnoxious while they eat it with their small mouths and big pieces of fish.

>>13398812
>all that tableware to distract you from how shit the whole meal actually is.

>>13399050
>but as others have pointed out, it’s culturally considered good to be a loud awful eater Bc it implies the food is “good”.

I mean, it's not like it's any better in most places. It's real fucking bad here in the states because instead of the fresh ingredients they have access to we have poisoned shit and toxic waste filled garbage to use.

yeah it sucks being a weeb and realizing japanese food is pretty much trash. the only couple good things have already been exported to every city in the world

>>13395982
>gave it a name that gets repeated by twats

the only people that are more retarded than "uMaMi" mouthbreathers are chest-thumping Ameriburgers that call it the factually incorrect "savory" instead.

You don't fucking say.

>>13395990
Agreed I live in Tokyo I can confirm. Also the pasta sauce holy shit it’s always watery fucking always!

>>13400205
Savory was never considered a basic taste and implies a bit of salt, itself already a basic taste.

Korea has had authentic european restaurants where they hire chefs from the specific country since at least the early 80's so I'm absolutely certain japan has them too.

I made the mistake of ordering something like Salmon Lover Deluxe and it was just like half a pound of raw salmon lol.

I love sushi and even sashimi in small portions, but holy shit it was gross. I ordered some white rice and ended up basically making my own sushi like a fucking idiot.

>>13400150
You've lost the right to complain unless the Gulf War didn't happen.

>>13401018
>I made the mistake of ordering something like Salmon Lover Deluxe and it was just like half a pound of raw salmon lol.
DESCRIBE the SIZE of each piece of RAW salmon. If you were eating other foods would you put that much in your mouth at once?

>>13401022
Yeah the gulf war was just like imperial japan invading china and slaughtering everyone in their path with things like germ warfare and rape on an industrial scale.

The best Italian food I ever ate was in a little restaurant across from the Hiroshima memorial museum lol

>>13401373
I'm going to guess you have never been to Italy.

still laughing at the small mouth OP who doesn't know what sushi or sashimi are, and yet is still personally offended and upset by it

>>13402282
Op here. I'm not the retard that didn't know the difference between sashimi and nigiri. They are both comically oversized anyways, but keep defending gooks love of filling their mouth to the brim when they eat.

>>13398759
They're like 5cm max, do you have trouble telling the difference between small things and far away things too?

>>13402344
Comically oversized for a fucking numale dwarf like you

>>13402344
oh no it was a different guy with a small mouth who couldn't tell the difference between his 1950s racial slurs and the difference between sushi and sashimi because for him it was MASSIVE and HUGE pieces that couldn't fit in his tiny angry mouth. it was your brother from another mother

I can assuredly debunk this claim. Unless maybe you live in some backwater coal town that only has a walmart, the existence of quality bread is always available. I get Dave's Killer Bread.

This is such an oddly specific weird complaint that could easily be avoided

>>13402950
Yet let me tell all my local gook restaurants to stop making standard gook sized portions and instead make food for westerners who don't like cramming huge amounts of food in their mouths.

>>13403173
Just take two bites. I promise you they won't give a shit, let alone want to make you commit sudoku.

>>13403178
Trying to hold a big hunk of raw fish with chopsticks and bite it in half sucks ass.

OP how do you not fit sashimi when you suck giant smegma oozing cocks all day?

>>13395982
lmfao gaijins BTFO go homu whaitto PIGGU

>>13395982
you should really look into a place serving the most freshest fish you can get in you area.
if you don't live near a coast or other bodies of water with lots of fish dont bother.
that said, really the best way to cultivate a taste for sashimi is appreciating the smell first, and after you fully got the complexity of the fishs smell you may add jalapenos to it

>>13403329
Op here, I don't even have a problem with seafood. I can eat raw oysters on the halfshell all day. Sashimi is just disgusting.

>>13395982
>Sashimi.
A). The likelihood of parasitic propagation to meat, amongst birds and droppings, bugs (such as flies and fleas), fish, the conditions of farmed animals, and repeated and non-sanitized usage of food machinery, is large (in this status of science).
B). Sub-well-done meat is very publicly common, and actual raw meat is somewhat also, furthering the problem.
C). The likelihood that a lot of raw meat is properly frozen (for consumption) is minimal ..
>Freezing and storing at an ambient temperature of -4°F (-20°C), or below, for 7 days; freezing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and [!] storing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours; or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24hrs. ..
Except for very strict conditions, *any* ("uncooked") meat is susceptible to parasites.

Calm down gook. You can be a gook with pear white skin, and you'll still be a gook.
(if you want to get technical then white people aren't actually "white" colored, but that doesn't make gooks any less gook)

>>13407297
I'm not OP, and I could kick your ass nip.
I'll kick you in your buck teeth, and explode your already misshapen chink head.

i'm with op. raw fish should be in smaller bites. yeah if it was something more conventionally tasty, like a dumpling or a nugger, i could easily handle a bite of that size. but raw fish should be sliced smaller and thinner

>>13407328
how small should it be, it's literally bite sized

maybe in America they have to give you sashimi the size of hot dogs because bigger = better

>>13407339
well i think the strips that smoked salmon comes in are about the size i'd want sashimi

>>13407339
Make it
>bite size
gook.
Similar to how you make it bite sized for your goofy shitstain populace.

>>13407318
DESU I thought that this post would get more attention. Wasn't expecting Japan to surrender this quickly.

>>13407328
I've been to some places that make the pieces of fish and rice way to big to be comfortably bite size. These places don't have anywhere near the quality of sushi that I would want to eat/go back. I know what OP is talking about, and places that do this have terrible sushi. They are catering to large American portion sizes and people who complain that the plate of food is too meager compared with the mountain of shit they'd get at some shitty chain.

>>13407353
you're so mad your post makes no sense at all
>>13407346
Those are bigger than sashimi piece though

>Gooks just love to stuff huge amounts of food in their mouth. It's disgusting.

>THESE FUCKING PRIVILEGED NIPGOOKS HOW DARE THEY EAT LOTS OF FOOD WHILE AFRICANS SHARE A RICE

>>13407339
You are correct that in America people want enormous portion sizes. If you're not in an area with decent food culture plus good sushi culture plus ease of getting high quality fish, then you will not find a good sushi restaurant. On a side note, I went to a sushi place in Las Vegas on Christmas Eve several years ago that wasn't getting many customers (on Las Vegas Blvd but not within the strip confines) that normally has regular portions but needed to get rid of their inventory and made me basically burrito size rolls. It was amusing, but I wouldn't want those portions normally.

>>13407371
>you're so mad your post makes no sense at all
You don't understand that it should be bite sized using the Japanese metric of bite sizey?
>>13407380
It's harsh bruh. I didn't even get to drop bombs before the surrender.

>>13407397
>sushi culture
lul

>>13407371
bigger? i guess they might be bigger lengthwise, if you stretch them out. but most times i've encountered them, people eat them folded or torn in half

>>13395990
Man, two nukes just wasn't enough was it

>>13407396
IT'S NOT ABOUT PORTION SIZE YOU RETARD. it's about how the gooks love to shove huge pieces of food in their mouths at once and chew chew chew. How can gook women act dainty while their mouths are overflowing with raw fish?

You have to shove the whole piece in your moth at once. Nibbling is like spitting in the chefs face.

Roll slices I'll always eat in one bite, because the flavor profile was made as such, but I'll always take small bites of individual pieces of sashimi so I may savor the flavor

Holy shit this, my gf and her family fucking love bolognese pasta and fucking pasta with ketchup as the base sauce I shit you not ketchup

I’m part Sicilian and Italian and my nana whipped me apart when I told her this

But here’s the thing, they can’t use cheese in japan it’s a luxury item that’s taxed a shit ton so you get shitty quality cheeses as a replacement this can be said for a lot of non local produce as well so they improvise but still have to make it for their largest demographic who are soo cookie cutter anything new wouldn’t work for a business

So you get a bunch of stale “Ethnic” food that’s nothing like what it should be, albeit if you go to a Michelin French restaurant in Ginza it’s gonna be French or fucking whatever

I'm mixed and ate a lot of asian dishes when I lived in the east. Jap food is really overrated by the culinary world and overall one note, and typically any variation is just add sugar or add a seafood component.

also i'm gay, forgot to mention that

I tried eating an orange slice and had to cut into 4 pieces because I kept gagging and dislocating my jaw and couldn't breathe, so I understand OP's predicament with these colossal sashimi pieces he's talking about. Anyways back to my dinner that consists of a single grape cut in half.
