>is literally just uncooked fish
>>20409803not sure why japanese people hate flavor. cold smoked salmon is a far superior choice for sushi. regular salmon has no flavor
>>20409805Exactly.I was homeless from 2014-16 and ate a shitload of fish from a nearby river. It was most of my diet during certain parts of the year, especially fall.Went to a fancy sushi place several times since 2020 and all I get are flashbacks to sitting under a bridge eating fishguts and hand sliced fillets. Even the expensive stuff is just fucking raw fish covered in diseased mushroom sauce. I don't get it.
>>20409818To be fair most folks eating sushi aren't having hobo riverside flashbacks
>>20409818How does hobo fishing work? What do you use for bait?
>>20409803And it's amazing
>you have to eat the fish raw because that way the true flavour of the fish comes out>adds soy sauce>adds mirin>adds sake>adds kewpie mayo
>salads>Literally just uncooked vegetables What's your point
I've had a lot of sushi over the years, I have to confess something bros. I really, really prefer the cooked variants served at family style conveyor belt sushi restaurants. They add sauces, creams, spices and seasonings that make the flavor experience so much better. That said, I'll always enjoy salmon sashimi, but I think the general attitude towards "nuanced" and "delicate" flavors is largely cope, those are just fancy words for "bland" and if the Japanese REALLY preferred bland food, curry wouldn't be such a hit over there.
>>20409859>What do you use for bait?peeled off calluses
>>20409859Don't be a pussy dude, just go in the water and scoop some out
>>20409879They bring out the flavor of the fish, they don't replace it.
>>20409803its also literally rice and seaweed but how does breaking food down into its elements make it less appetizing
>>20409954Americans get scared thinking about food that came from something that was recognizably a living organism. Which is ironic considering they think "the libtards" are trying to take their meat
>>20409859hemorrhoids
>>20409803you've only had cheap chinese buffet sushi shut the fuck up
>>20410081Imagine being such a flyover that you think that anything except>cheap chinese buffet sushiis some kind of exotic rarity that normal people could never have encountered. Sushi restaurants are fucking everywhere. Even 20 years ago, they were everywhere. Just how far behind the rest of the world are you people?
>>20410118>n-n-n-no YOU!!!
>>20410118see >>20410081
>>20410081excuse me! I only eat the finest walmart sushi
>>20410118flyovers are just now finding out about "hipster fashion" like trucker hats and lumbersexual beards and flannel, so 20 years ago sounds about right
>>20410131>>20410130The first time I went to a nice sushi restaurant fully staffed by Japanese guys was when I was around 13 years old, which was about 25 years ago. I'm currently living in a small city of around 30k people on the East coast and off the top of my head I can name 8 sushi places within a 30 minute drive. I'm sure there are more that I don't know about.I'm just telling you, for your own sake, that when you say things like>you've never tried real sushi!!!then you're saying a lot more about yourself than you are about the other person. Sushi is just as accessible to me as any other type of ethnic food: extremely.
>>20410163>I'm currently living in a small city of around 30k people on the East coast>Sushi is just as accessible to me as any other type of ethnic foodlol
>>20410170If this seems unreasonable to you then it's because you're a flyover with no concept about what the rest of the country is like. I have two larger cities within a 30 minute drive and anything that I can't find in my own, I can find there. I'm sorry that a 30 minute drive from your own home just takes you to more cornfields.
>>20410184east coast IS flyover buddyt. west coast chad
>>20410163but you've never tried real sushi!!!
>>20409803It's actually reverse cooked. Instead of cooking you deep freeze it. So negative cooking then
>>20410136that's not really the case, bud. we had the hipster wave the same time as you, and it's completely over save for a couple who still dress that way. 'flyover' makes you sound like a moron
>>20410189west coast is flyaround, with ETOPS nobody needs you to get to asia anymore, yes the west coast is official deprecated
>>20410201>posts this while also expressing complete disbelief that people could have easy access to "real sushi"really makes you think, huh?
>>20410201t.
>>20409803If you can afford raw fish then you are probably eating toxic waste.
the heat of your saliva cooks the fish
>>20409859Superlate reply, but the river I frequented was very active with fish. I used a 4x4 120 net and scooped them out like a modern caveman. Crushed their heads in with a rock and then went to cutting.
>>20409803the vinegar in the rice flavors the fish
>>20410408Gollum mode, nice.
>>20410081Read the second post before assuming things on a limb, asshole.
>>20410436I'd lay you out jackass.
>>20410467oh no an internet tough guy dumbass i'm so scared
>>20410504Keep an eye out motherfucker.
only tastelets think sushi has no taste cause they need everything to be caked in salt and sugar.
>>20410507DO ITDOX ME AND SHOW UP AT MY PROPERTY
>>20409818>the Japanese food hate threads are being posted by drug addict hobosWell. I guess I'll keep that in mind.
>>20410530Not an addict. Never have been. Just an ex hobo.
>>20409818glad you're no longer homeless fishbro
>>20410532I've never known a hobo that wasn't a drug addict or schizophrenic. Except for a surfer type guy that everyone called "pisser" for some reason, he was a criminal though.
>>20409888>if the Japanese REALLY preferred bland food, curry wouldn't be such a hit over there.It's not that they prefer bland food, it's that their food IS bland. Not to mention Japanese curry is still the blandest out of Thai, Indian, West Indian, and British curries.
>>20409803NEVER talk to me or my caterpillar roll again
>>20409803the soy sauce COOKS the fish. >the wasabi is a valid heat source>the seaweed is an alternative to refrigeration
>>20410541>and British curries.you're right, but you are going to rustle some jimmies by saying it
>>20409835Fuck that looks good.
yes, and? now what you retard?
>>20409805the bowls of wasabi soi sauce and ginger are not there for decoration
>>20410202>yes the west coast is official deprecatedasia is flyover too, chang
>>20410163And you've never tried it.
>>20409803Sushi literally means "vinegar rice". If you like that sweet and sour rice taste, you can do many things with it. Here in Oz we ignore all the bland jiro dream pretentious jap crap and just remix sushi rolls with shit people actually enjoy eating. Like picrel: crispy chicken sushi roll with spicy mayo
>>20409962I always wonder if the people who make these kinds of posts are aware of how popular chicken wings and steak are here
>>20409803Make sushi out of any ol' fish and see how that turns out for you
>>20411182ywnbaw
>>20411209Steak does not look like animal. You divide your wings into segments that do not look like wings.
It's already PERFECTLY SAUCED
>>20409962The most beloved and enjoyed meal in the United States across all states is whole roast turkey.And the number of hunters in just about any given state is almost certain to outnumber whatever your combined military forces is.
>>20411277Thanksgiving turkey is absolutely not the most beloved meal in america lol.
>>20409803Also rice, soy sauce, etc
>>20411182Cringe bro
>>20411281It is the most celebrated holiday in the United States More people celebrate Thanksgiving than Christmas or the Fourth of July
>>20409888>I've had a lot of sushi over the years, I have to confess something bros. I really, really prefer the cooked variants served at family style conveyor belt sushi restaurants. They add sauces, creams, spices and seasonings that make the flavor experience so much better.All the fancy Michelin sushi places I've been to have used sauces and seasonings and garnishes to the point that it's often uncomfortable to eat with hands desu.
>>20411264>big juicy chunks of meat do not look like they came from something that was recognizably a living organismOk
>>20409803Sushi is not cooking. It is food arrangement, similar to ikebana for flowers. Call sushi a cuisine is like calling your grandma a bicycle.
>>20409803technically that's a sandwich
>>20409803>gives you tapeworms
>>20409835Why yes, I'll take the entire platter, thank you
>>20411277Pretty sure there are more active members of the US armed forces than fudds with pop-guns in your flyover state but do go on
>>20411360I celebrate Juneteenth and May Day
>>20409805>not sure why japanese people hate flavorfor them, food is less about strong flavour profiles and more about texture and the seasons. August 31st? yeah watermelon, fried food, currySept 1st? wtf no dude its autumn now you better fucking have pumpkins and mackerel ready
>>20411873I was clearly not speaking to an AmericanThat being said many states have more active hunters than combat soldiers in the US military and many states with more hunters than any single branch of the US military]https://stacker.com/your-state/states-most-registered-huntershttps://www.statista.com/topics/2171/armed-forces-of-the-united-states/#topicOverviewCalifornia, one of the states with the lowest number of hunters per capita still has more hunters than soldiers and they have the most soldiers of any state>soldiers: 158,754 >hunters: 278,210
>>20411901I know inbreds like you think people who look like me and talk like me and vote like me aren't "american" because I'm a brownoid and I can read without moving my lips and I don't support idiocracy, but in normal places my american-ness is not in dispute
>>20410136Those never went out of style here what are you talking about? My great grandfather wore flannel, and so did my grandpa and father
>>20410163I live in a town of 8k in the midwest and literally every town has a sushi place, my fucking grocery store has a sushi chef from japan who gives live demonstrations on butchering fish.
>>20411905Is you is, or is you isn't >>20409962
>>20411933
>>20411646b-but my grandmother had wheels!
>>20411942Then why are you shit-talking Americans?
>>20411951Because it upsets you and I find it entertaining
>>20411955OK Rajesh
>>20412036Nope, just another 193 countries to go :-)
>>20409803>Wasabi in the soy sauceI'm gonna pearl harbor your ass.
>>20411182>OzIf you only had a brain
>>20412044I don't care if I'm wrong, I've already qualified your peopleAnd I over-qualify in general
>>20409818Gollum IRL
>>20411879>The four seasons exist only in Japan.
>>20411507>steak has to be medium to well done or you're a pretentious frenchy fag>it's juicyIs this self-parody or a false flag?
>>20410537successful hobos keep to themselves. obvious reason all their stuff gets stolen by opportunistic normies if they have the things that make them successful
>>20409826Top kek
>>20409803Some of it isn't even fish.
>>20409818Fresh Delaware runoff fish.
>>20409803I prefer sushi simple like this, fuck all those gay rolls that have mystery crab meat and eel and mayo sauce sprayed all over.
>>20409803No that'd be sashimi.
>>20414250i like both. fuck roe on top though, roe gave me mega diarrhea the first time i had it, and this was a "nicer" sushi place
>>20409880Both suck ass
>>20409880>vegetablesMy go to one is quite a lot of fruit when I think about it. Tomato, cucumber, red pepper, lettuce, spring onion, red onion, with a drizzling of lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
>>20409859His post
>>20412083Precisely....>Do you put real wasabi, which costs $60 a piece, in soy sauce?>Don't you know that real wasabi loses its aroma when put in soy sauce?
>>20414986its just green horseradish, its not special.
>>20415123It's special for the Japanese.
>>20409803true but the secret is in the rice
>>20415164what about the tamago? the tamago!
>>20414974oh no WAI-
>>20411392I hope this isnt a pic forms Michelin restaurant because that rice is soggy and oversauced
>>20415164Rice was merely used to ferment the fish but was thrown away, it WAS a Japanese idea to start eating the rice too/incorporating it into the "dish."Hilarious that the Japanese cause so much seethe that people will make debunking images like this, when they have literally zero reason or connection to hate the Japanese except "Japan popular"
>>20415208Do not tell lies.It was meant to be eaten with fish.Only now, when there is a surplus of food did they finally throw it away.
>>20415369>>20415208
>>20409859You dip your wee wee in the water.
>>20415205It is. Not a star but on the list.
>>20415636That's grim
should i risk eating this farmed atlantic salmon from aldi raw or should i chuck it in the freezer (mine can do the temp requirements, kinda just dont want to wait 4 days plus thawing)
>>20409888I think you've just only had shitty sushi
>>20410163It's not even about accessibility. It's about your ignorance.
>>20409803You're literally an faggot, whats your point?
>>20417114Dont risk it. Don't.
>>20412083>enjoying food is bad!
