Americans (especially young ones) are a lot less mayonnaise obsessed than euros or japs. Also those pre-made sandwiches are never that great!

The Jap ones are far better, nigger.
>inb4 noooo noo you can't say Japan does things well that's weebism noooo

>>14714657

I had both. The mostly taste the same except that, as I said, the Japanese ones have more filling. Then again, I only ate them in the morning. I would think americans would be more inclined to leave shit sitting out all day.

Sandwiches from an american vending machine are absolutely vile, though.

>>14714637

US version of the sandwich. Looks like they don't cut off the crust in the US version.

EAT THE MUSKY MOSS

>>14714657
No they aren't. People think Japanese have better cheap food, but that's wrong. They just have better presentation, and taste like garbage. I've been to those places, I've tried it.

A guy in SoCal died from gas station nachos because the irresponsible clerk left the velvita out long enough to turn into botox. It's become such a meme that it was the start of a Hollywood movie.

>>14714643
I was kind of surprised to learn that Germany doesn't even make the top ten list of mayo consumption with how popular it is here. Russian's apparently the world leader. The top ten list is all European countries plus Chile for whatever weird reason.
Japan's number 11, if you were wondering, and the US is somewhere in the 20-somethings.

sandwich factories are fucking gross

>>14714675
I've eaten many of those 7-11 sandwiches and I honestly think the bread is baked in huge sheets and cut into squares.

>>14714637
Why are we so shitty? Half our population consists of sub-human brown people.

>>14714794

Now I am watching how its made episodes. Ultimate 3AM kino. I will fall asleep to this.

Why would anyone eat an “egg salad” sandwich for any reason.

>>14714637
Young people don't trust big anything. And that's okay, mate. We're in a weird place now, economically, that makes a lot of us uncertain, angry, violent, sad etc.

>>14714880
how else do you get out?

>>14714782
Chile is one of the Latin american countries with more european blood.

>>14714637
Cuz the US doesn't really have any good safety laws so you cunts gets all sorts of weird chemicals n shit in your good while also being paranoid of its left out for more than 5 minutes

>>14714637
To me its just conceptually disgusting. Soggy old eggs left our. On shitty white bread with corn syrup in it. With soybean oil mayo that looks either like thick or runny cum. The awful smell of it all together. The moisture and water drops from being chilled. AWFUL

>>14714908
I'm not gonna lie, when I first heard about the hotdog completo, I was both disgusted and endlessly intrigued. One day, I'll travel to that mountainous land to eat the mystical fully-loaded hotdog.

too much sulfur in packaged eggs. loosens the belly which is undesirable on the job site or in the office

>>14714637
There's a lot of competition between convenience stores and the food they serve from what I've heard.
Things are usually nicer when corporations are rushing to please a customer rather than work together to milk the customer.

>>14714637
japs have these made/delivered fresh daily and often are sold out by lunchtime/restocked

>>14714675
That bread looks horrible

>>14714637
I buy sandwiches from 7/11.Tuna Fish is about as risky as I get. Egg salad sandwich you have to be confident in your 7/11.

>>14715237
This. It’s not the source material, which is rock solid these days. Here within a 100 mile radius it’s SkyChefs, former and current producers of airline food. The problem is after delivery if it gets prompt refrigeration, or if it sits in a crate with warm temps for 6 hours. I actually trust all of the ones around me— Vietnamese, I think, Paki, I think, a little bit further south Mex, I think. No desire to explore when I need a sandwich, the good locations deserve the profit.

>>14714657
noooo you can't say Japan does things well that's weebism noooooooooooo

>>14714637
Seven-Eleven Japan will release delicious new products.
But as we welcome and become familiar with the new product, its quality deteriorates.
And Seven-Eleven Japan will release new and delicious new products again.
Seven-Eleven Japan egg sandwiches used to be very delicious.
The egg sandwich sold by Seven-Eleven Japan in the book today is the residue.

>>14714637
I get egg or tuna salad from 7-11 over almost any other lunch item. The sandwiches with cheap cold cuts, soggy lettuce and tomatoes on them are infinitely more disgusting.

>>14716263
Updated every Tuesday.
Here's the new sandwich of the week
https://www.sej.co.jp/products/a/item/051438/shikoku/
https://www.sej.co.jp/products/a/thisweek/

Jap convenience stores get daily deliveries from local companies. That shit is better than most chain restaurants here.

>>14714767
>that it was the start of a Hollywood movie.
what movie?

>>14716700
Zombieland.

>>14714637
>The sandwiches don't even taste that different
Are you fucking high? Can you actually taste food? Here's the differences;
>One on wheat, one on white
>One with crust, one without
>One has a mix of creamed egg salad and whole egg chunks, one is just altogether creamed
>One is a cleaner taste with just QP mayo and egg as the true base, one adds mustard, onion/garlic powder to cover off flavors
>One is completely shrink wrapped, one comes in leaky clamshell packaging
>These are the same

Fucking retard. Think before you make a post for once in your life.

>>14714637
Because gas station sandwiches and meals are bottom of the barrel in the U.S, they're actually respectable in Japan but many youth (especially) do not know this.

>>14716796
Yeah whatever you say weaboo nigga. Go back to jerking yourself out of the gene pool.

>>14714637
Lmao you'll get e.coli from an American gas station sandwich. Fuckers are too lazy to throw shit out when it's gone bad.

>>14716235
I'm convinced that the number one reason fat people are so fat is that they eat too fast. This guy is already queuing up a new forkfull to his slophole before he's finished eating the last one. So you eat super fast before your body senses you are full. Eating with fatso's is fucking disgusting, they almost always groan and jiggle around because they ate too much after the meal.

>>14716815
>Duuh, whatever, buzzword, ad hom

Oh dear, did the special Ed classes let out early today? I know America can't afford a wrangler for you 24/7 but your mommy should really be regulating your internet access.

>>14716695
damn that sounds good as hell

Japanese use a different kind of mayo.

Also, Japs or koreans work at their 7/11s and deal with businessmen that want a quick snack. At our 7/11s we get surely immigrants dealing with drug addicts all day. It is only natural that ours would be worse in such a case.

>>14716856
Yeah they let me off early to bang your mom. You obviously need a father figure.

The main purpose of American 7/11s are to sell swishers and malt liquor to blacks.

>>14714637
Because americucks believe if you ever eat an egg or chicken that isn’t burned into rubber you’ll instantly get salmonella and DIE.

Why does Japan get high speed rail and we get our cars broken into by junkies before getting stopped on the way to work by a road blocking BLM protest?

>>14718958
we have to use bleach to sanitize the eggs, chicken and corona meanwhile japs/euros can eat raw eggs no problem

I never buy sandwiches its always cold and gross
If i must have lunch ill buy bread and sausages to make my own

>>14714637
I've eaten pre-made sandwiches from rite-aid before when needing a cheap lunch while at work. They do like egg salad, Italian hoagie, ham&cheese and such. Honestly was not that bad at all, I enjoyed it but I do think there is a stigma that people look down upon others eating pre-made sandwiches

>>14719418
The grocery store across the street from my work sells pre made sandwiches that are kino AF. They're still in the plastic triangle, but they use boars head meats and cheese, and they're made fresh every morning, they're pretty pricey and they actually usually sell out of them.

>>14714794
that guy probably scratched his ass and now he is touching my sandwich

>>14714764
>Nooo people are not allowed to like what I don't like!
Try not being so in love with yourself and recognize that other people have different taste buds.

>>14714637
a regular white bread and lunchmeat or mayo-salad type sandwich is already bland tier and somehow packaged ones are worse. japan has a weird modern food culture. it reminds me somewhat of the 1940s in america, its all about the product whether youre cooking for yourself or buying packaged food from the store. if its just packaged food its not about it being good as much as it is being an inticing product, or especially in japans case, something cute or aesthetically pleasing. If theyre cooking for others and entertaining, the cookware and recipe seems to always be a singlular use, tacky brand name thing to create this one popular super kawaii item. they dont appreciate food for food anymore it seems, theyre hardcore consoomers for sure.

What a weeb meme. I tried both german and japanese the japanese wasnt better they tastet almost the same

>>14714794
I'd fucking kill myself if I had to work there.

>>14720053
same
its so soulless. nobody talking. the same thing thousands and thousands of times a day. the exact same pace for 8-12 hours. Theyre basically robots.

>>14718990

Because the population density of the US is low as all fuck. Why spend so much money on a rail that no one will ever use? Cars are a much better low cost travel solution in the US. If you want to go far fast then buy a plane ticket.

>>14719994
What the fuck is this faggot retard babbling on about? Do us a favor and kill your self faggot. You won’t be missed.

>>14720241
calm down and take your medicine little buddy

>>14715127
Can you eat that without getting mayonnaise on your face? It doesn't look possible.

>>14720967
better question is can you have that much tangy mayo with sour relish at once and not gag

>>14721016
You have to be 18 or older to post here. That should probably extend to people who are mentally children like you.

>>14721018
wow you are so funny anon how do you do it

>>14721019
You're not helping your case here, kid.

>>14721038
youre arguing with a stranger over the internet about a mountain of relish and mayo being good food and im the child?

>>14721045
When you put it that way, yes.

>>14714663
>>14714764
You're both objectively wrong if you think the japanese egg salad tastes the same as the one stateside. The biggest difference is the sweetened milk bread and the kewpie mayo.

>>14714782
My father in law is Russian and he puts mayo on nearly everything. A bit disturbing.

>>14714637
>Japanese ones have a bit more filling
Don't fucking lie to these people. Those sandwiches are front loaded as fuck, the back half is practically empty every time.

>>14721239
The problem with Japanese food labelling standards is that they're really lenient so there's next to no way to prove you right or wrong beyond "I think that's what they use".
>Egg Salad
>Bread
>Emulsifier
>Seasoning (aminos)
>Thickener (aliginate)

Nigga what? Who in the hell pays that much for an egg sandwich?

>>14721321
wow you could unironically make an entire loaf of bread worth of egg salad sandwiches for that much

what does that even mean lol

>>14721341
There's an infamous Steve Albini quote about how people should just buy loaves of bread and toppings instead of paying for premade meals. /mu/fags spam it here a lot.

>>14721267
If you've had any experience with Japan before, you know there's no need to "prove him right", as it's common knowledge they don't use the same type of mayo. The different bread is also easily believable if you've picked up convenience store food from there before.

>>14721365
>It's different.
>Source: Dude, trust me. Common knowledge.
Okay.

>>14721239
also the eggs are better

This is what the Japanese 7-11 is like.
That's still not much...

>>14723068
I lived in Japan for 5 years a minute walk away from a 7-11. I was speaking from experience.
That said I've never purchased an egg salad sandwich because that's disgusting.

>>14714637
>>show egg sandwich from 7-11 to american
>>will this kill me?
FDA has shit hygiene standards compared to nippon glorious empire. Also washing eggs....

>>14723179

lul

>>14721267
>Japanese food labelling standards is that they're really lenient
I thought most of your murikan states banned labelling of ingredients because it's "propaganda" or some shit.

>>14716816

It's so hard to get vegetables in Japan if you're just traveling. If you do it's a mushroom or a pickle of some sort.

>>14714637
>7-11 sandwiches
holy shit this board lmao

>>14717136
>Also, Japs or koreans work at their 7/11s

I see you haven't been to Japan or haven't been in the past decade.

It's Indians or SE Asians working at the konbini now. I've been several times in the past 10 years and its been a striking change. It was mostly Japanese part timers and gradually the amount of foreigners working the register has increased. In the countryside I don't think it's as bad, but even in Kyoto it was striking to see the change over time.

>>14715127
Chilean here. fast food/street food sandwiches are usually overstuffed for whatever reason. what's in that image is what we'd call an "italiano" because mayo, avocado and tomato resembles the italian flag. You an still go more "fully-loaded" than that with a dinamico. Personally though, I'm more of a fan of pic related when I do eat these types of messy foods.

>>14714908
lol

>>14721267

Mayo in Japan is a specific kind that they use throughout the country. It's the same throughout Japan.
Shokupan is the bread they use for sandwich bread.

It's easy to prove >>14721239 right if you're not a retard and can talk from experience

>>14716816
reality: walking and water/tea

>>14723211
They have the most strict actually

>>14714637
they are literally the same thing

Bros I'm buying jap mayo to make this gl me

>>14714880
because they're white or a chink.

>>14720967

>>14714794
Eww, why don't they have gloves?

>>14714857
It's pretty cool. You enter a zen state of mind. But it's not the same thing all day, they make you rotate between tasks so you don't wear out your body overusing the same few muscles.

>>14714637
>>14714663
>>14723068
Not true, I went to a lot of 7-11s across Japan and none of the sandwiches had anywhere near that much filling, completely front loaded to look nice but mostly bread.

>>14714637
the only Jap sandwiches that have ever looked good are the katsu ones

>>14723204
Yeah, I was speaking about sandwiches in general. It's all the same shit, my guy. They push the filling up to the front so it looks full, and the back is just bread. Sure there are some that aren't like that randomly, but the majority are.
I always regretted it when I opted for a sandwich over onigiri or a salad.
>>14723631
Exactly.

>>14723211
They're pretty strict. Stop taking butthurt shitposting as fact.
>>14723826
Those are pretty nice. The tonkatsu curries they sell are pretty good too, although any restaurant will do it better.

>>14722351
different color has no correlation to flavor or nutrients

>>14724509
*tonkotsu

>>14714675
I say I say, Boi!

You KNOW all the nutrients be in the crust! That's why all them little China men be so smoll.
You gotta use that noggin.

>>14725758
Tonkatsu is fried pork cutlet, which is what that guy meant. Tonkotsu is pork bone.

>>14720053
imagine performing the same task for hours and hours on end each day with the awareness that you're laboring under someone who is actively seeking to replace your useless labor as soon as it's profitable to do so

>>14714637
Goddamn those are garbage sandwiches

>>14723826
They’re dry as fuck and a chore to eat.

all of the japanese 7-11 food is very different, honestly I forget it's even the same company they are so detached

it probably has to do with most 7-11 patrons in the USA being blue collar, but the ones in japan are white collar and have higher expectations

>>14725933
Japan 7-11 is for poorfags who aren’t good with money because it’s not even that cheap.

>>14725933
>but the ones in japan are white collar and have higher expectations
This is a very stupid thing to say. Do you think konbini are high end, or do you think everyone in Japan has a white color job?
There are so many konbini that I once went to a Family Mart directly across the street from another Family Mart. There were two 7-11s, a Family Mart, a Lawson, and a Ministop within five minutes of my apartment abs I lived in a smaller city.
They're absolutely everywhere. Even off the local Tenryu Hamanako line in the middle of fucking nowhere, there were two konbini when there were no other buisnesses around.
Absolutely everybody goes to konbini.

>>14714637
americans don't trust eggs from vending services. As someone who used to eat catering company stocked vending machine hard boiled eggs on my lunch breaks I've had them be out of date and awful atleast %25 percent of the time

>>14714764
nope the difference is the japanese vendors will replace that shit or make it fresh every day
the american company is gonna toss it in their and come back in a week to see if it needs restocked

>>14714637
DID SOMEONE SAY JAPANESE FOOD?

>>14726111
HERRO!

>>14715123

yeah you're a nigger you wouldn't understand

>>14719454

boars head is lower quality than oscar meyer in the refridgerated section.

retard, that company came into existence like five years ago to rebrand store brand dregs.

>>14725748

that's impossible.

>>14726128
I know this is a shitpost, but my mother died six years ago and she only bought Boars Head since I was a child.

>>14723179
Egg salad sandwich can be made easily, and it is more delicious if you make it by yourself.
By the way, the ingredients for my cooking.
This white bread and this special mayonnaise will make you a treat.

>>14723631
Shall I go and buy it and see what's inside?

>>14724509
>The tonkatsu curries they sell are pretty good
Have you tried the katsu curry sandwich?

>>14725971
In Japan, Gray collar used konbini
Blue collar buys discounted food at the supermarket.
White collar goes to a restaurant with her or cooks homemade food.

>>14726272
Hey man, don't talk to me like I know nothing about buying discounted food at supermarkets. I'm about that shit.
My point is everybody goes to konbini. Maybe not everyone buys lunch there, but the idea that the clientele is only one group is absurd.

>>14714637
Japanese people don’t think those sandwiches are delicious. They’re just shitty convience foods that you eat when you have no other real options, because they are sort of better than just starving.

>>14723241
that is hilarious, so far from italian.

Fuck I miss combini food

>>14726335
>Maybe not everyone buys lunch there
I just wanted to tell you that.

>egg sandwiches
>ever
literally why

>>14726584
homemade egg salad sandwiches are delicious. would never fucking ever buy that shit from the store though. atleast not in america. i would trust that shit in japan though, vending machines and packaged food are pretty much a part of their culture at this point

>>14723251
>Bro, I'm dead serious. Trust me, I know. There's zero need for actual proof.

>>14716834
As a designated fat, this is a lie. Speed doesn't matter to me. I eat whatever is on my plate regardless of if I even don't feel well by the end of it. Slowing down would just prolong the discomfort.

>>14726212
I mean, I guess you could but there are generally better options than the egg salad sandwich at the 7-11s. Onigiri were always more worth the money.

>>14728502
Maybe it's a difference in food culture.
Japanese people want to eat bread from time to time because rice is a staple food

Oh!! by the way!
now I'm obsessed with this one that's been re-released!
Okonomiyaki Bread
https://twitter.com/711SEJ/status/1301746816237449216

>miscellaneous salad

>>14714794
Why the FUCK did they get rid of the guy VOICING this shit!?

>>14714637
Egg salad is fucking disgusting, and convenience meals in the US are generally fucking disgusting because our standards are so low. The average working-class meal in the US and Canada is toxic waste compared to what you can get in mainland Yurop and the wealthier Asian countries.

I practically lived on convenience store sandwiches for a year and while they're not the best they're not going to kill you

>>14716834
>that they eat too fast.
Yes. The murikan diet of 16999 calories a day!

>>14725919
>he doesn't carry a small bottle of hot sauce attached to his keychain for this very scenario
Never gonna make it.

>>14716834
I'm skinny and I tend to shovel my food in my mouth fast. Like someone might try and steal it if I stop.

I genuinely don't understand how people can like mayonnaise. It's only good when it's mixed with something else to where you can no longer taste it.

>>14723631

>>14734268
That's worse than normal but it's certainly more accurate than the other picture.

if i make egg mayo tonight will it be good to eat tomorrow?

>>14721340
>a jizz of mayonnaise

Is that what it’s really called?

>>14734439
That's a parody video you donkey

>>14734483
what

>>14734483
So, you’re telling me, there are no pseudo concentration camps responsible for producing egg salad sandwiches out of bread smuggling bread?

>>14734566
Oh no, that all that stuff is accurate

>>14714782

Russia and former block countries put a spoonful of mayo in soup, that's why.

>>14714782
Is that per capita?

>>14714637
I will say that 7-11's sandwiches lately have been a lot better than in the past. The turkey and havarti on honey wheat is really good.

>>14732208
This. People get food poisoning all the time because they pay people pennies to assemble this food and it's usually lower class people that don't give a fuck as long as they get paid. It's the same thing with fast food really, but more risky because it's sitting around partially refrigerated for days at a time.

>>14726111
so are his videos bullshit? why is it all those day in the life videos make it seem like everyone's day is easy as piss and that's coming from a software developer that basically jerks off all day.

>>14714637
Those sandwiches are the blandest shit. They’re like 90% bread but even the bits that aren’t bread have no taste to them. People call white people food bland, but the Japanese take that shit to a whole nother level.

>>14721340

god damn...can you imagine being a cheese spreader at 1:16...just tippy-tapping cheese and mayo

>>14734919
I guess. Unless you account for the fact their work day lasts 12-15 hours. You're kinda seeing the same in the Bay area as well if you work IT - you're only using your home to sleep at it. It's not like you're working with the same intensify as if it was regular eight hours shift or anything, but it's still not YOU time because even if you have an hour of free time you use to go to the gym, our lunch break and hour where you can slack off you still have to go back to work + after hour dinner with co-workers. I wouldn't wish Japanese work days to anyone.
