Japanese food is NOT good.No I don't care that it is honoraburu samurai food folded thousand times, it all tastes like seaweed and sadness mixed with plain rice.Even the sloppiest Chinese buffet is infinitely better.
>>22151517Anime posters are not good. To top it off, you enjoy Japanese food. Oh boy!
I agree, but unlike OP (who is just ragebaiting), I honestly think this. My aunt was Japanese. I thought she was a uniquely terribad cook until I actually went to a Japanese restaurant as a teenager and it all tasted like how she cooked. It's very pretty but very bland. The definition of style over substance.
>>22151531I don't watch tranime, just found it appropriate since I don't have any pictures of food (I'm not a middle aged woman)
If your "homecooking" thread is shitty enough then fast food threads are honestly better, and I hate those threads too.
last jap restaurant i went to was very good. fried pork cutlet with some good sauce on it, rice was good, sushi was good
>>22151534you're on the wrong board of the wrong site in multiple dimensions
This board has too many bitches and faggots, more interested in feeling good about themselves than discussing food and cooking in earnest. >>22151534You want to be on a food and cooking image board, and you think middle aged women are who take pictures of food?>>22151533The rage bait has been bad lately

>>22151647One Punch Man sucks ass. Mob Psycho is infinitely better
>>22151764Agreed, so what?
>>22151517tumpura is good, yakitori is good. yeah the rest sucks. i despise teriyaki and sushi.
>>22151764>>22151766tbqh, both are gay as hell
>>22151770Mob psycho isn’t gay at allOPM is a little gay, as a treat
>>22151517I'm in agreement for once. Even though I have a Japanese wife making it for me all the time. It kind of gets old.
>>22151766>>22151770Yusuke Murata is a tryhard, the webcomic is a lot more palatable
>>22151517outside of sushi it's pretty meh and despite having cooked a lot of japanese dishes i still don't have a simple fast go-to for japanese like i do almost any other cuisine - quick mexican taco or burrito filling, easy chinese fried rice or korean kimchi rice, countless italian pasta dishes that come together in about 10-15 minutes. even japanese curry takes some time unless you use the premade blocks, which i do not. and sushi is pretty much the only japanese food i ever randomly crave. so yeah it's not high on my list but i also wouldn't give it up entirely.
>>22151517>Japanese food is NOT good.You are conflating "stupid opinion" with "unpopular opinion." They are not the same thing.
>>22151517>seaweedThis is the real problem, IMO. The fucking seaweed just overpowers everything interesting. There's plenty of good flavors to be had, but no - it's just seaweed up your ass for no reason.
>>22151915>DUDE I just LOVE the smell and taste of a filthy harbor in every bite
>>22151880>i still don't have a simple fast go-to for japanesekatsu my man. cutlet, rice, cabbage, quick katsu sauce, maybe some steamed or pickled veg. simple.ochazuke also comes together super quick and is tasty. idk, if you don't like japanese food fine, that's one thing, but sounds like you're kinda just not trying if you can't come up with a quick meal. jap food isn't that hard to make for the most part once you get a handle on it
>>22151928breaded pork chops are german/austrian.Just because you call it a faggot name and plate it alongside shitty sides does not make it japanese
>>22151531>>22151534The Japanese did not genocide your Korean asses. Get ruled by feminists and mad when they do the finger thing to you.
>>22151517french food is extremely overated and is a meme. its not even top 10 global cuisine
>>22151517Japanese food is much like the Japanese themselves, bland and soulless.
>>22151517In my second year at college we had an exchange student who was a japaneser. He pretty much lived off McDonald’s for the year he was here.
Fuck off with your Chinese propaganda!!!
>>22152090They have McDonalds in Japan too, y'know. It's quite popular there
why not just cook the fish, you know?
>>22151936Breaded pan-fried pork as a wide-ranging concept is no more German than it is Japanese. Yeah the things you do with it are in fact what make it German or Austrian or Japanese, retard. If someone served it with a sauce that had mirin in it you wouldn't be going "ah yes the classic german recipe".
>>22151936They're Italian, actually. Floured and/or breaded, fried cutlets of all kinds originated in Italy. Jews claim they invented them in Byzantium but there's practically no evidence of that and plenty of evidence pointing to Italy.
>>22151936Do you think it’s German/Austrian to use panko and corn starch in the breading?It’s definitely a different texture, but do you consider those differences warranting a different dish name? I personally don’t care, I’m just curious
>>22152172mmm slimy mercury and brain parasites
>>22151614>>/kys/yourself
>>22151517This isn’t an unpopular opinion, there’s a Japan hate thread weekly. My unpopular opinion is that this board is being inundated with shills.
Indian food is overspiced poverty slop and I'll never understand people who enjoy that shit.No, I don't want to get Chicken Shitti Pajeer
>>22151607>fried meat is a japanese foodlol lmao even
>>22152327Obviously every culture has their own version of fried meat, what is the point of being this pedantic about it?
>>22152237You're giving too much credit to someone who doesn't even know that there is more than one way to do a fried pork cutlet.
>>22152331>DUDE we cut in RECTANGLES and use SPECIAL crumbs and serve it with SLAW, you don't get it
>>22152330Are you the same kind of retard that says there is no such thing as American food? American food is genuine fusion food and more original and creative than gook food. Gooks rip pages out of foreign cookbooks and you cream your pants over it.Japan probably actually has 0 food to actually call their own, but nobody is allowed to say this because the manchildren that still watch children cartoons from that country will cry over it.
>>22152340So if you ordered a schnitzel that came out like pic rel you wouldn’t have a problem with it being called a schnitzel?>>22152331I know, but may as well lay it out for fun
>>22152344No?? I’m trying to point out that making fun of someone for acknowledging a countries specific version of an international food is silly. I’m a Hoosier, and we have our own specific version of fried pork just in Indiana
>>22152345Not him but that's a schnitzel with barbecue sauce and a perfectly normal way to eat schnitzel.
>>22152348>we have our own specific version of fried pork just in IndianaThat's not American food. That's still german.
>>22152350My point is that no, i do not think America doesn’t have their own food.
>>22152349That’s not barbecue sauce
>>22152340So a fried pork cutlet dish that is>cut differently>breaded differently>served with different sauce>served with different sidesSo essentially everything about it is different. Yeah that sure fuckin sounds like a different cuisine's take on a broad preparation that no one country "owns" in its entirety. Do you also think that every sandwich ever made around the world is one single country's cuisine or are you just a fucking retard about this dish in particular?
>>22152353It looks like barbecue sauce, it tastes like barbecue sauce and it's used in the same exact way as barbecue sauce. I don't care if some squinty eye jap misread the recipe and added 2 dashes of onion powder instead of 1.
>>22152374Not him, but sandwiches have a lot more variety. A fried pork cutlet vs a fried pork cutlet is always going to be 99% the same. A sandwich could be an infinite amount of very different things. You are stupid to use this comparison.
>>22152349What makes it schnitzel and not katsu besides you hearing about schnitzel first and refusing to recognize more than one name for something because you're stubborn?
>>22152394We don't need loanwords for our loanwords
>>22152393If you think a traditional pork katsu and a traditional pork schnitzel dish are 99% the same then you've already said enough that I don't need to call you stupid. You outed yourself there.
>>22152400Lmao bro is grasping desperately for a reason to distinguish between two different fried pork cutlets but still can't find an argument
>>22152399It's not about being a loanword, it's about saying it's one thing exclusively and not the other. Non-autistic people will recognize that things can have more than one name even if they default to whatever they are more familiar with. Saying "No no no no it can't be katsu it has to be schnitzel" is a bit silly.
>>22152403Are so called normal people also saying "Arigato gosaimas" after receiving their fried pork cutlet from the waitress?
>>22152386This is a really funny other side of the coin to the autists who insist their bbq sauce is super special and how dare you imply the japs can do itWhat a world we live in
>>22152402The dishes are not made the same way, and because of it they don't taste the same or have the same texture. That's argument enough for them being different dishes. You just refuse to recognize that or your tastebuds are fucked from years of smoking or something similar.
>>22152410No, just the freaks
>>22152411Oh I was thinking about the anime watching autists that insist Japanese barbecue sauce has some je ne sais quou umami added to it that gaijen will never understand.
>>22152414So people who use Japanese words to describe German things while speaking English?
>>22152410No, normal people will call it what they're used to calling it but recognize that other words exist and don't get angry when people are used to calling it something else because that's what they are used to. People like you will make a big deal about hearing a different applicable term and say "ummm ackshually it's german because I said so" and everyone else will make a mental note not to invite you out to eat again.
>>22151517There is nothing wrong with raising animals for meat yes even dogs cats and horses.There is no such thing as a tasty alcoholic beverage it is all putrid and people cope to fit in.There is nothing wrong with arbitrary diet restrictions (veganism, islam) as long as you don't force it on to anyone else.If you wouldn't eat anything once (You) are a massive pussy, but it is okay to spit it right back out and say it's nasty and never touch it again. It's only when you muscle shit down and pretend it's good to fit in or not feel bad about wasting money on something overpriced you become a faggot. I've scared waitstaff at upscale places by informing them things the food is bland or just simply doesn't taste very good. You can't allow these people to live in their own fantasies about their food.
>>22152413>the texture is different>your sense of taste must be fucked up if you don't notice the texture differencehurrr
>>22152422Too many words. You sound mad.
>>22152425>"and because of it they don't taste the same"Did you miss that? I was listing possible reasons why you would be unable to distinguish the two dishes, tar-lung. Texture was just one of the differences because of the type of breading used.
>>22152421>>22152419Most normal people simply use the word on the menu in front of them
>>22152428I explain it like I'm teaching you to tie your shoes so you don't deflect to some non-point to distract from how wrong you are. I accept your concession either way.
Lol they’re getting better at disguising Japan hate threads so they can’t be immediately taken down for racism
>>22152433You don't have a menu in front of you right now, and if you do then you're a freak.
>>22152435You must be very smart and have a good reason to be writing essays on why using anime words over english words is better.
>>22152440If that's an essay to you then I understand why you think "schnitzel" is an english word.You're embarrassing yourself here.
>>22152438dumb wetback
>>22152441Angey weeb noises
>>22152436>muh waysismfoubd the fufu and egusi person
>>22152424>There is no such thing as a tasty alcoholic beverage it is all putrid and people cope to fit in.There are low percentage drinks with quality ingredients that you can't even taste the alcohol in and can be very tasty. If someone doesn't drink much and has a lower tolerance for alcohol then two or three would still get a person buzzed.There's a lot of trash but you're overreaching with your point to the level of being unreasonable.
Lmao the Japanese word for "cutlet" comes from the English word for "cutlet." I bet if you told a Japanese person that Schnitzel and Katsu were the same thing, they'd agree.
>boozeniggers when somebody says alcohol is bad
>>22152455you haven't had real tacos
>>22152463Nobody asked, cuck. You devalue my opinion by sharing it. Eat another ban and then eat a bullet.
>>22152144I think that was the point. American food is taking over the world.
>>22152259Agreed. My wife is Indian. Her cooking is extremely cheap to make at home. If we eat Indian food out at all, it's just grab-and-go stuff from the IndoPak supermarket's in-house restaurant/deli counter. Pakoras/bhajis, samosas, curry puffs etc
>>22152455you are posting spics and telling people to go to mexican cities to eat foodyou are spiritually a shitskin at the very least
>>22152437Hey retard, the context was this >>22152410
>>22152496You have been using the word without a menu in front of you this entire thread. You contradicted yourself immediately.
>>22152502No actually, i haven’t. I was specifically answering that question.
>>22152502*nuzzles you*
>>22152446I see the threads pop up and then get deleted :3 good job on this one, tell your supervisors
>>22152504>oh, yeah, uh, I actually only responded to that one question that you asked someone else>that was my only response >but im willing to keep posting in this thread and continue his argument for him>please ignore the fact that he mysteriously disappeared at the same time i mysteriously appearedlmao. i can't tell if you're actually this retarded or not. would you still get fooled by a game of peekaboo?
broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and most green vegetables are actually, legitimately fucking horrid, and I'm 95% convinced people who say they like them are just pretending.Tubers are the king if vegetables.
>>22152752I agree. I mean roast brussels are kinda ok and you can do some things with cauliflower but they largely just suck. Root vegetables in general are great. Onions, potatoes, carrots. I could eat those forever.
>>22152568Yeah, it’s almost like there can be more than one person with a similar opinion.Let’s see I’ if my art project worked out
>>22151517Tempura's good but technically that's Portuguese.
>>22152344>Japan probably actually has 0 food to actually call their ownThat's not true. They put raw fish on plain rice and wrap it in seaweed and the manchildren that still watch children cartoons from that country will cry over it if you don't say it's the most amazing cuisine in the world.Absolute dogshit.
>>22151880Gyudon is super easy and quick to make. I make it a lot with ground beef as well. Pretty nice.
>>22152841Sushi comes from Southeast Asia and China, Japan was the last Asian country to receive sushi.
>>22152768I don't care enough to decipher your schizo board but it's good to know you're very intelligent AND sane. Honestly, it looks even worse for you if you are actually a different anon (which you're not, because nobody could be this retarded). Why would you be arguing in favor of katsu but only in the presence of a menu and not under any other circumstances? And why would you butt into someone else's argument to express this? It would've made more sense to double down on your prior retardation.
>>22151517rice is bottom tier foodjust eat pasta its so much better in every wayor go for noodles at the very least
>>22152953> why would you have a different opinion than me> REEEEEIt’s gonna be okay buddy
>>22152768This is a sisyphean task, once a retard becomes sure that you are a samefag on here, nothing will ever convince them otherwise because they cannot admit they are wrong. You could kidnap them and fly them on a plane to both your house and the other anon's to show them each of your computers, and they would even then insist that you were somehow still the same person. Best to just call them a retard, or if you do have the power to affect them physically then just break their knuckles and be done with it.

>>22153054Most of these opinions are pretty good so I'm not surprised they're unpopular.
>>22152752I'm of the opposite opinion. Those are all my favourites and yellow potato excluded, I tend to dislike tubers. I always thought anglos saying they disliked broccoli and sprouts is because their cartoons pushed that idea on them. >>22152762I rather dislike roasted vegetables. Blanched, shocked then stir-fried, sauteed or butter-braised is more my thing.

>>22151517Japanese food is excellent, your taste buds are simply tarnished from the processed, sugar-laden modern diet of the west. People have done elimination diets and noticed food tastes a lot better, being healthy is essential to being a gourmet.
>>22155108>dude I love bland rice and raw kind parasite fish, my favourite tranime character eats itif jap food is so good, why are they all 5' tall malnutritioned midgets?
>>22155194nta but they're in the top 5 of life expectancy. When it comes to nutrition and longevity, yeah Japan is absolutely up there with their food.>but the fish...!That hasn't stopped them from living longer than the vast majority of the world, has it?
>>22152413>The dishes are not made the same wayThat's right. One is breaded and fried and the other is breaded and fri… oh.
>>22155630>different breading>different toppings>different sauceAre you dumb enough to think every chicken dish that goes into the oven is the same thing or are you just mindbroken by japs like all the other election tourists?
>>22155565yeah dude I WANT to be old for 40 years.Fuck that they're weak manlets that can't breed.
>>22155677The reason you'll feel shitty for 40 years past 50(or the 10 you'll have before your heart attack) is because of your fast food lifestyle, but hey at least you didn't follow some heckin manlet diet. Those japanese fucks will feel better at 75 than you will at 55.
>>22151517Sushi is nice. Everything else not so much.
>>22155693brother, nobody wants to live for 40 years past 60
>>22156298Just because you think your life is over at 60 doesn't mean you need to project that stupidity onto others. You go die, I'll enjoy life the best I can for as long as I can.
>>22156298You have the kind of brain that has been raped by a lifetime of instant gratification. Eating healthy isn't only about living long but also being healthy in your final years. You are obviously going to wish you were dead when you're dealing with multi-organ failure at 40 years old. You're going to be so miserable. You probably already have a miserable life due to your impulsive actions and the consequences of them. Get help.
>>22155646Putting a burger patty on a croissant doesn't turn it into filet mignon. No matter how you slice it, it's a burger. Just as a beaded, fried cutlet is a breaded fried cutlet.>toppings>saucelmaoBecause use of pepperoni is what differentiates New York pizza from Detroit lmaoBitch, a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet is a cutlet, you're a cooklet
You see, this cutureteru is very different from a cutlet.
>>22156873>Putting a burger patty on a croissant doesn't turn it into filet mignon.Nobody but you thinks a croissant is integral to filet mignon. If you ordered a german schnitzel on a menu and you got it slathered in katsu sauce and covered in shredded cabbage... well, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference because you're an idiot, but anyone with a triple-digit IQ would send it back because it's not schnitzel at that point but a different dish.
>>22156879Not him but I got tested professionally as part of the GATE program and I have an IQ of 138 and I'd eat the breaded, fried cutlet I ordered.
>>22156886Crazy, I hit 139 on that same test(off day for me) and I would absolutely send it back because of the false advertising.
>>22156890well i got 140 on the same test and I'd devoure it in seconds

itt flyover low income households that know japanese food
If you have the money and the space for it, bullshit food/ingredients/appliances are far from the worst expense one could come up with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--4zdNZzkJw
Beef wellington is aggressively mediocre. It's a lot of time and effort for a dish that isn't even that good. I'd argue it's worse than the sum of its parts. I genuinely don't see the point. Risotto is another one that is not worth the effort. It's fine, but as an anon very eloquently put before me, it was just some retard justifying why he spent 40 minutes constantly stirring his rice and adding liquid slowly to pretend it was good.
>>22158898I got the risotto quote wrong, but it till sums up my feelings on risotto >>21763228
Most foreigners visiting Japan say this:“All the Japanese food I ate back home was fake.”Is this really true?
>>221590952 things to consider:>regional cuisine variationNo matter the cuisine, people emulating it in a foreign land will adapt it to local preferences.Americans "Americanize" oriental food with excessive breading and sweet sauces. Brits "Britishize" it with fries and gravy. Etc.Meanwhile, you're actually in the country surrounded by locals who grew up in that culture. Japanese food is just "food" to you and you're likely unbothered by any concept of "authenticity" when you're making dinner with whatever's available at the grocery store. Your understanding of foreign food is going to be similarly warped by how people in your culture try to imitate it with the flavor pallets you have available.>weebsThe fact that people are choosing Japan as a tourism destination indicates a level of Japanophilia among those going there. They very likely had the impression in their head long ahead of time that they were going to experience "true" Japanese cuisine for the first time ever and it was going to be a profound experience. “All the Japanese food I ate back home was fake” was a sentence they probably wanted to say long before they even set foot on the plane.
>>22159124We Japanese tend to have a strong desire to try both authentic dishes and adapted versions.That’s why you can find both here.However, the downside is that authentic dishes often cost more because the ingredients can be hard to source.
>>22159179I can't say for certain about Japan as I've never been there, but it's not hard to find places that market themselves as "authentic [x] restaurant" here in the states. Authentic is often a marketing term that pretty much means it was set up by immigrants who are still mostly catering to the locals. There will still be some ingredients used that you won't find at your local grocer. But the food that's actually representative of what you'd find at the country of origin is more likely to be one of those niche menu items you'd gloss over when you're actually sat down at the place.Without actually seeing what the Japanese impression of an American sit down diner is actually like, I'll just lean on my biases and say it's probably a poor representation even if the food itself is really good.
Where are the unpopular opinionsIt’s just people arguing about frying chunks of meat
>>22159204When it comes to meat, every opinion is unpopular.
>>22158898100% agree. Risotto is tasty but not worth the effort. It's in its best form with arancini, which is much better than risotto but so much more annoying to put together that it too loops back to not being worth the effort again. If "make a risotto" is just the first step then you fucked up.
>>22159629Risotto is better than any dink rice meal.
>>22151517I agree. Pasta is only for when you are poor. Chicken is the worst animal meat.
>Chicken is the worst animal meatWell this is far from the truth. Even if you're a retard who thinks there is only 3 animals that produce meat, it still wouldn't be true. You just can't cook.
>>22159812IMO if I could only eat one animal species for the rest of my life, it would probably be chicken.>Too much beef or pork gives you cancer>Too much fish gives you mercury poisoning>Other kinds of meat are more uncommon/expensiveOnce cooked properly, chicken is probably the safest and healthiest meat you can get, and you can prep different parts of the bird in a million different ways to eat something different every time.
>>22151517american chinese food is better than all forms of authentic asian food.
>>22159825Chicken is also something that is much more economical and easier to produce than beef. Beef is like 7x more expensive than chicken and that's WITH the government subsidizing cattle and dairy as aggressively as they do.
>>22159812Cope, seeth and get some pork. Chicken is disgusting. Put down the fork.
>>22152349The fact that you would even consider a breaded pork cutlet an authentic schnitzel tells me everything I need to know. The correct meat to use in an authentic austro-german version is something different.
I think we can all agree that Japanese and Chinese food mog all other asian foods and its not even close
>>22159677Risotto is good and so are a lot of asian rice dishes. Risotto doesn't stand head and shoulders above everything asian, no.
>>22159768Based. God i fucking hate chicken
