The wife of Final Fantasy composer made tacos...
Is it true tacos are a luxury in japan? Odd when they're typically cheap here in the western hemisphere.
>>21887592Globalization has just proven that Japan is the most white trash country. Shit like this, white bread sandwiches, 7/11 and KFC are national icons. They spend all their money on video games and comic books. Hell their entire underground is just meth and prostitutes.
>>21887597There's just not much Mexican/Central American immigration to Europe and Asia and the ones who do move there are mostly middle class professionals as opposed to working class.America is just right there and full of money and in need of cheap laborers
>>21887600Yeah, I've seen a few videos online of small Japanese joints that are doing something outside of the usual Japanese palette well, and it's almost invariably because the person running the joint spent time in the U.S. and learned a bunch about tacos or smash burgers or something like that and wanted to bring it back.
>>21887600Immigration shouldn't be the issue though. The recipes are basic and the ingredients are typically cheap with the meat being the exception. Though in Mexico the "beef" from your common stand is typically of questionable sources. (More than likely it's just not graded.)
>>21887618All food that dominates an area basically dominates because immigrants. Who is more likely to start a taco place, a person who learned how to make corn tortillas from her mom, or a guy who learned about corn tortillas while studying at UCLA and figured that he could open a place in Osaka making tortillas and make a lot of money. Also more importantly having immigrants who want that food from their home is a solid customer base for a restaurant, the gringos will find it eventually, but you need to have a lot of Mexicans around for Mexican food to take hold. You can exist in that fantasy that the best food will survive regardless, but you gotta have a bunch of Jews eating bagels before the gentile stumbles in and gives it a try.
>>21887598Nah you can't really blame them, asia doesn't have as many cheese sources as the states/mexico. They use a different form of pasteurization. so the milk there by itself taste weird.
>>21887628You don't need cheese on a taco
Based kraft single tacos and beer boomers. Comfortable apathy knows no country.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O4KfA_ANJ5w&list=RDO4KfA_ANJ5w&start_radio=1&pp=ygUVZmY0IGZhdCBjaG9jb2JvIHRoZW1loAcB
>>21887630you don't, but it still common enough. You can give her a pass cause like I said, they don't have that in their supply chain.
>>21887618I doubt japan has many latinos writing good recipes, and needing two indirect translations from spanish->english->japanese would result in even more room for error. Considering how bad the average native english recipe that a cooklet would find with a quick google search is, it makes sense that smaller countries might not have great food from somewhere across the world.
>>21887592>that cheeseAnyway. When I was younger I was all about muh meat and cheese on the taco but now I really prefer it to be mostly lettuc taking up 3/4 of the fill.
>>21887627>All food that dominates an area basically dominates because immigrants.Or in its country of origin where it's cheap and/or affordable. But when beef is involved these days the price per taco (soft corn tortilla) is going to be at least over $1 - $2 usd. Poultry and pork maybe less unless it's al pastor which needs more prep.
It's just sad that the cultural exchange isn't mutual.
>>21887592dios mio holmes...we gave them the inspiration for bleach and this is how they repay us...no mame...no mame wey...
>>21887592The only "issue" with this is the sliced cheeseotherwise what, it's a fuckin soft taco
>>21887641Dragon Ball lore is nearly as big as catholocism in Mexico.
>>21887640>Country of origin argument out of nowhere after arguing immigrants don't make their foodYou're essentially being obfuscatory and obtuse so that you can maintain plausible deniability.This is a thread about Final Fantasy, not conservative fantasy.
>>21887643lol
>>21887592Konichiwa, hombre! Those are some mighty bueno kawaii looking Japanbirria tacos, my Kokujin!
>>21887645Where's the Bulma version of the Virgin de Guadeloupe
>>21887598>white bread sandwichesso correct sandwiches.
>>21887640ground beef tacos are mostly an American thing anyway so this doesn't really hold any weight. in Mexico pork is probably the most common taco filling. chicken and seafood are also common. so, no, it's not a matter of ingredient availability. with their abundant seafood, Japan could easily make fish, shrimp, or even octopus tacos. it's likely not an issue of cost at all, if they wanted to make tacos I'm sure that they could. but there needs to be a certain degree of cultural exposure before it really takes off. yes, you can just google a recipe, you don't *need* Mexicans in your country to make tacos, but if you've never been exposed to a good taco before and only have a vague image of them in your head from foreign media, you're not likely to seek those recipes out unless you're really curious. and even then, you wouldn't have the knowledge of what a taco is supposed to be like to be able to vet good recipes.
>>21887598>They spend all their money on video games and comic books.my kind of people
>>21887592Those are burritos. Soft shell tacos are not a thing those are open faced burritos.
If I'm bringing in real money and my wife serves this poor excuse of a struggle meal to me I'm smacking the shit out of that bitch. Fuck, it's valentines day and this bitch can't even use shredded cheese.
>>21887649>This is a thread about Final FantasyI thought it was about tacos.
>>21888341I bet when Uemetsu defeats the Taco x 5 he plays the little victory ditty and then collects a plate mail
>>21887597I don't think you realize how rare Mexican food is outside of America, Anon. The rest of the planet doesn't share a border with Mexico (thank god). The most common you'll find is supermarket midwest taco stuff (and Japan is shit for cheese, since they're Asian and thus mostly lack-toes-and-tolerant).
>>21887592based Otsuka-sansorry you have nobody who loves you and don't have scads of money for composing music for worldwide-popular vidya, OP
>>21887634this nigger gets it
>>21887669>bulma>virgin
>>21887769>or even octopus tacos.I'll say it because you specifically wanted someone to say it.Tako tacos?
>>21888621Tako/Takoyaki Tacos are a thing in Jappin.
>>21888621Also fish, shrimp, and octopus tacos are a thing in Mexico
>>21888651If it's a mainland thing, I probably missed it, but I know tacorice is a big street thing. At least, it was fifteen years ago.
>>21887618>ingredients are typically cheapNope. Generally a substantial amount of ingredients aren't as readily available and more expensive in comparison. Partially because there is less of a demand and no domestic production.
>>21887597Behold, the European taco
>>21887592Is she mad at him?
>>21888727gold standard
>>21887592I kinda like that kind of cheese. Those could be tasty depending on the meat/seasoning. Although I would like some salsa or whatever.
>>21887627Bagels ain't jewish
>>21888669>If it's a mainland thingIt's more like a random home thing, I don't think it's street food. I think, maybe, I've seen taco flavoured takoyaki before, but it's not really common. But it is a thing.
>>21887592I get that cheese is pretty limited in Japan, but is American cheese really the only option available? I would think a restaurant could make some sort of crumbly cheese on their own without too much trouble. Like a farmer's cheese.
>>21888727I'm a burger in the deep south and I eat those as well.
>>21887628also they're going to be stuck with flour tortillas because I imagine masa is near-impossible to find in Japan
>>21888825God shut up.
>>21887592No wonder why japs are dying to cancer at an early rate
>>21887598At least they're not Jewish and soon going to be deporting browns. Is that why they upset you so?
>>21887644Fuggin soff daco maing
>>21888727French Tacos are really nice.They're basically burritos with fries though.
