Some choice bits

they interviewed the chef who invented california roll. He put the rice on the outside because his customers found seaweed too scary.

In reply to

I was reading about this earlier today, sushi in the States is assembled rice-side-out because back in the day, Americans would peel off the nori before eating because seaweed was too scary for them. Absurd.

Fucking lmao

The lack of spices in Japanese food suggests Japanese are the white people of Asia

    I mean the seaweed thing makes sense if you just never eat seaweed, it would seem like a kind of wrapper or whatever. But I guess people just get mad at being taught how to eat new food cause it might feel infantilizing so a lot just wouldnt find out. Most sushi places I eat at put fucking chili mayo and other extra stuff on cause I guess people got mad at not enough extra flavors anyways.

    Sometimes this joke goes into bitch eating crackers territory tbh, just goes weird.
