Why are the Japanese obsessed with their own food? There are so many manga and anime about it, even when the subject is fantasy like isekai. I've never seen a culture so into themselves.
this is probably inconceivable to an american, but they do love their country
>>291033528Isn't Curry from india?
>>291033528I can understand eating a breaded piece of chicken tossed in sauce. But in a bowl of sauce? I don't know, man. Seems like the breading would get way too soggy and potentially gross. Also no rice or is it at the bottom?
>>291033665>Also no rice or is it at the bottom?You can see a giant pile of rice in the middle of the sauce
>>291033528>I've never seen a culture so into themselves.How about burgers.
>>291033528Who vomited on the spaghetti
>>291033694they worship blacks
>>291033651I doubt it, probably some British guy invented it while he was there
>>291033651real indian curry is awful and bad for you, Japanese curry is just curry powder from the British in beef stew
>>291033731That's their own culture.
>>291033528>all this food for half the price of what i can get in my town>in supposedly an "expensive country"fuck this gay earth
>There are so many manga and anime about it, even when the subject is fantasy like isekai. I've never seen a culture so into themselves.there's also many manga and anime about foreign food. There's simply nothing equivalent to anime and manga.
>>291033528I would say most countries love their own food. Even Americans who mostly have poison on the menu get teary eyed for a BBQ
>>291033773How is Japan so cheap when they import loads?
Italians.
>>291033773food is cheap because everyone wants to be a restaurant ownerwhats expensive is everything else
>>291033796>whats expensive is everything elsesuch as?genuine question, what's expensive? rent? tickets? internet? cell carrier plans?
>>291033528>Japanese food is so fucking nastyIt's just a bowl of rice, pork, and curry sauce with an egg on top. This would probably be pretty nice after a night of drinking.Japanese spaghetti can fuck off though.
>>291033748>>291033651The word "curry" only means sauce. As in any sort of meat/vegetable dish in a sauce is a technically curry.
>>291033809energy, entertainment, housing, healthcare
>>291033832Yes if you're a jeet. To anyone else in the world it refers to particular spice mix used in food.
>>291033528Wait until you hear them bragging about "did you know japan is THE ONLY country in the world with four seasons"; I wish i was joking about it...
I wouldnt mind if the extent of their criticism wouldnt boil down to >UMAAIIIIIIIII>OISHIIIIIIIILike what the fuck arent you supposed to be autistic about stuff and this is all you can say?
>>291033528it's the only semblance of culture they haveit's the same with other thirdies, if you ask them about their culture the only thing they can talk about is muh spicy food
>>291033858I think its less relevant to Indians than it is to the British and to literally anyone whose been touched by the Brits inappropriately
Introspective country. It works for them too, a shame about the collectivism and face culture but you can't have everything; and they're better off than the modern west.
Some cultures are more obsessed with eating then others. Italians and Frenchmen can spend several hours on a meal by making it into several courses and having it be a whole event. On the other hand people like Germans are very utilitarian about food and eat shit like hard boiled eggs and cold cuts for breakfast so they can get to work faster.>>291033694Actually Americans vary from being self obsessed, indifferent, to being extremely self hating. Hell there is probably more self hating Americans than any other nationality on earth, you see it all the time online. And they are absolutely the most pathetic type as well because of how insecure they get about being accepted by faggot cosmopolitan canadians and euros.
>>291033528They like foreign food more.
>>291033885It truly sucks to grow up in a culture without food, I'm sorry for you obese-kun
>>291033528Have you never met a French or an American?
>>291033792probably low interest rates and low profit margins
>>291033528I've seen Japanese people say curry (like specifically Japanese-style curry even) isn't actually a Japanese food since it originates from India or wherever. IDK if that's a common belief though
>>291033792The US just saved their economy last week
>>291033837>energyUsed to be cheap but slowly getting out of hand due to Trump being retarded, but then the majority of the world is suffering from the same problem>housingOne of the most affordable in the world>entertainmentYou only pay as much as you want, for me it's pretty much 0>healthcareAffordable, reliable and relatively fast (you don't need to wait for years in a queue just to get your condition checked)
>>291033528Gaijin food is garbage it is that simple, you are just too cocky to accept that
>>291033787>there's also many manga and anime about foreign foodName 10 made in the last 15 years.
>>291033528>why is somebody who grows up eating something they like referencing it a lot???A real fucking brain teaser OP, I'll get back to you once I figure it out.
>>291033822That isn't egg. It's strips of grated vegetable.
>>291033773It only seems cheap because you dont have their salariesThe Yen is on the bottom of the ocean
>>291033921Why do you hate hard boiled eggs?
>>291033528It's the mayo spaghetti and fried hot dog that makes me retch
>>291033528Must suck being youropean.
>>291034120Shokugeki no Soma
>>291034206German here, don't lump us in with the anglos. Most of our food is kinda shit, but we're not pretending otherwise.
>>291034141Sorry, looked like a yolk to me initially but it probably is some pickled carrot or ginger, which I also like so it's not really a big deal.
>>291034231Our food is a superset of american food anyway.
>>2910335281. Way too much curry sauce2. Soggy fried chicken3. The spaghetti dish is vile4. That isn't a salad5. 90% of that is just badly Japanized western food
>>291034312>soggyThe japanese love that.
I only eat meatFood autism is for sissies
>>291034341How you prefer your steak is peak food autism, though.
Generously salt and peppered. Blue. Just a light sear on the outside.
>>291034341>only eat meatThat's a form of purism. A stupid one though because meat alone isn't as tasty as with side dishes, garnish, sauces.
>>291034231It doesn't really seem that bad, but then again I like sausages.
>>291034341Eating a single food is extreme autism. If you eat a balanced but boring diet then you can complain about obsessing over food.
>>291033528Damn, that looks good.
>>291034488You'd be hard pressed to find a country that does sausages wrong. Except turkey. They make god tier chicken, but some of the worst sausage I ever tried.
>>291034576Agreed Brazilbro. Just needs a little macaco.
>>291033921Italians, French, Japanese have a taste for luxury and excellence. I don't agree with shitting on americans, americans are very versatile. Americans can feast on the entire world, pillage and devour and at the same time smoke a lightbulb and consume some lethal slop comprised entirely out of industrial waste and machinery lubricants.
>>291034057>The US just saved their economy last week>checks newsUhhhh, about that. Also, the US only works for its own interests. They didn't want Japan to sell its bonds. Which didn't work anyway.
>>291033528Looks oi, but I can't agree with the sausage and spaghetti in the salad.
>>291033773any day now theyll surrender and prices with go back down.........any........day.........................................
>>291033528>I've never seen a culture so into themselves.You've never seen an American?
>>291034341>t. ketosissy
>>291034592That's true, though I hear that Germany has the most types of sausage of any country.
>>291033528Despite liking anime and manga I fear I might not like certain foods as much as people hype them up. >>291033792It's cheap because of the devalued currency you would need to acquire to buy stuff from there. The hella low interest rates that the government refuses to change are inflationary which sends their currency into a downward spiral, which in turn lowers purchasing power (for them, it increases yours Mr gaijin) making importing more expensive and their people more poor. Their other option is dumping the dollar bonds (which they have tons of) they have but that would fuck over the dollar by spooking people from buying bonds and potentially causing others to dump that could cause further economic instability for the US. The US saved their ass not to protect the Japanese, but to protect themselves.
>>291033528How shit is the food in your country?
>>291033528It's called loving your own culture, something you probably don't even have anymore.
>>291034037That's just a case of not really knowing/caring about the history. They know that curry in general is "from India" and haven't really squared the idea that if a nation has put a significant spin on something such that people need to distinguish between "curry and Japanese curry" that it means Japanese curry is a Japanese dish.To use an example, it's like trying to say that Dragon Ball isn't a Japanese series because it was loosely inspired by Journey to the West.
mmm mayo on fried spaghetti with hotdog...umami!!!!!
>>291033528>Why are the Japanese obsessed with their own food?It's what I would expect of any sane place. Why, do you want a country to obsess over their own food if it was bad? No place would settle for "bad food" having the option.
>>291034722about 70$ per person and way healthier
>>291034734>my culture is some really mid food i act like it's peakTry brazilian food, seriously.
Japanese food is literally puke on a plate
>>291033651The japs made a ridiculously bland version of curry, and they almost exclusively make it from mass-produced blocks of roux.For some reason, they're really fucking proud of it, but it's ridiculously bland.I found some of that crap at the local immigrant store, and bought a few of them. Even the ingredients you put in and the way they're supposed to be prepared are bland. It's edible, but it's really not worth buying.The japs do have some good food, and I'm not talking about overrated meme shit like sushi, but most of it is bland or outright nasty, especially if it's something they tried to adapt from a foreign country.
>>291034878>(presumed) american will shrink from batter with minced mushrooms and vegetables because it looks icky but will eat chocolate with actual vomit in itSasuga.
>>291034898>t. jeetIndian curry looks exactly like the diarrhea you will die from after eating it.
>>291033528Japan is a weird country because there's a massive contingent of foreigners who are obsessed with Japan, but Japan chooses to imagine foreigners being obsessed with all of the things that aren't impressive about it.
>>291034878That's clearly a grill anon.
it's certainly different rom thai and indian curry, but japanese curry is good in its own way. as i've gotten older i've also started to like shoyu ramen over tonkotsu
>>291034878Anon, that monjayaki clearly isn't done.
>>291034878Yeah, just look at this disgusting chunky slop. Who in their right mind would eat that?

>>291034898Brown hands typed this
east asians don't wear deodorant because they lack the genes that generate that strong sweat body odor, so they usually often strongly smell of the food they eat (ramen, curry)
>>291035023>no uSo instead of addressing the issue, you act like a commie faggot and resort to "whataboutism", you retarded weeb faggot.Indian curry might be shit, but jap curry is just a blander version of the same shit.
>>291035167Oh look, a seething weeb faggot.
>>291033528>t. seething britEveryone loves Japanese food
>>291035082Anon, you're retarded.
>>291035268In before the pic "he" made in "response".
>>291035268No, it's mostly just delusional weebs who haven't tasted it.
>>291033528>>291033694imagine being a Yankee in King Arthur's court, but you were able to serve them food in the image of their round table, explaining to them that it's called a burger and there's one topping for every knight in the order
>>291035307Impeccable projection.
>>291035089t. doesn't know jackshit about monjayaki but defends it anyway because you're a stupid brainwashed weeb
>>291035404uh oh, melty
>>291035191nice
>>291035404It's literally just meat and vegetables in a batter.
I bet you'll gaijindomome don't even know about the glory of raw egg on white rice
>>291033694Rent free.
>>291035420>trannyspeak
>>291035467i love japanese food, but raw egg is pretty disgusting in general. oyakodon is also overrated
>>291035504>oyakodon is also overratedLet's not get ahead of ourselves here.
>>291035404It's batter with minced meat and vegetables retard-san. I think you should go back to /v/.
>>291035504Wait... that's not food.>>291035475If anything it's me who's living rent free in your head.
>>291034037Japanese curry is different from Indian curry, thus it's a japanese food. It's like how pierogis aren't chinese just because it's a dumpling
>>291034120Tetsunabe no Jan
>>291033651Japanese curry is actually British cuisine that they adopted, like how they adopted a few Portuguese ones like tempura.>>291034898Japan is a cough next to the gastronomic nuclear bomb that is China next door and I'm sick of pretending Japanese food isn't mid comparatively.But it is also really good for like 2 weeks.
>>291033619I don't know, I'd say even most of the us who aren't self hating faggots still wouldn't take the time to shoehorn in a random burger wanking segment into 80% of their fantasy media.
If your food comes from any kind of industrial system it's total shit regardless of what country you are from.
This thread fucking sucks. /pol/ lite and it’s full of idiot kids shitting on food they’ve never even tasted.Here’s a pointer for you kids: just because you watch anime doesn’t mean you know shit about foreign culture.
>>291035191>they usually often strongly smell of the food they eat (ramen, curry)Everything besides this sounds like horseshit.
>>291036199Imagine an entire board like this, that's what /ck/ is
>>291035307wrong answer
>>291036199would have been deleted for off-topic in 5 minutes if it wasn't the kind of anti-japan thread our gook overlords love so much
>>291036073No it's literally just British naval curry. That's why it's a western food.
>>291034878Honestly doesn't matter what the food looks like for the most part as long as there isn't anything horrible in it and it tastes good.

>>291036291Hey, I just noticed india wasn't on here. Is there a reason for that? Surely a country with such a long history would have highly rated restaurants right?
>>291036378Michelin inspectors were a lower caste and couldn't enter any restaurant that could qualify
>>291036291>>291036378Michelin Stars are a load of bullshit.
>>291036378I remind you what country Michelin is from and how much their food is just "more butter... MORE... I SAID MORE!" until 5 baby cows could have been fed on the butter intake of a single steak.
>>291033864This, doubly so because there's a culture of never actually criticizing things in Japanese society.Not only is the reaction insincere, their vocabulary is lacking in this regard.Ironic because if you look at their insults online when an idol gets caught cheating or standing next to a male they get REAL creative REAL fast
>>291033858>t. cooklet Curry has many meanings. Indians will call Tikka masala curry. Thais will think of green/yellow/red curry with coconut milk when you say curry. Japs will think of the thick goulash like curry with roux. If you go to a spices alley and ask for curry you will get mix of curcuma, chilli and pepper.Dumb mutt
>>291036434
>>291036441>until 5 baby cows could have been fed on the butter intake of a single steak.why not just force feed the calves butter like they do to ducks and geese to make foie gras
>>291036516>This, doubly so because there's a culture of never actually criticizing things in Japanese societyZetsubou sensei is getting canceled then.
>>291036270NTA, what are you even referring to. I had plenty of conversations with people who are into Chinese cuisine on /ck/, recommending dishes, discussing woks, technique, etc.
>>291036519>left side of x axis are honest>right side just straight up lieI'm fairly convinced this is more useful for showing which nations are willing to lie to food snob rather than an actual showing of who makes the best food.
>>291036666Yeah, people acting like Caribbean and Greek food aren't fucking amazing are just people who either haven't actually had it, or just want to downplay it to say they like the "right" ones more.
>>291034231>Most of our food is kinda shitYou literally can't beat meat and potatoes, it is the pinnacle of cuisine.
>>291034898>ridiculously bland version of curryJapanese curry is probably the most intense tasting curry I've tried of Asian countries. Are you sure you are not confusing it with thai curry?

>>291035194>Indian curry might be shit, but jap curry is just a blander version of the same shit.Wtf are you talking about. These dishes use completely different ingredients and different cooking technique. Indian curry is very different from Japanese curry.
>>291036746i'm not saying they don't smell or that they have no body odor at all, but it's not the same as the body odor of jeets and whiteys from sweat
>>291036693Even the Chinese one is funny because most of the popular stuff was actually made by expats rather than the gross shit they actually eat there.
>>291036746I did and the whole cart could sense my aura.
>>291036814more like they could see the stink lines coming off of you
>>291036776I will not hear slander against authentic Chinese food, for no other reason than there's actually so many local varieties it's like a continent more than a country, but if you're thinking about what I think you are there's a god damn reason that cowboys look forward to the oysters.
>>291036519don't know how vietnamese food is rated that low from some countries when the food they've had (if they've actually eaten it) would likely be pho or banh mi. like who dislikes that?

>>291036880Fair, they probably do have some stuff that's okay when they aren't starving to death somewhere, but the point still stand that a lot of the stuff people think is Chinese actually isn't.
>>291036975so is the dry vs. wet ear wax associated with body odor also a diet thing?
>>291036986No, that one is genetic, but it's a different gene.wet earwax is objectively superior btw
