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

      Many old school sushi chefs in Japan will say that the most important ingredient is the rice. In that sense, it doesn't really matter a lot if the topping is vegan, vegetarian, seafood, or meat. It's all just a sideshow for the rice.

        that's all Japanese cooking to my knowledge. This is not a dig by the way, I make elaborate dishes just to show off potatoes frequently.
