Literally no one in the history of mankind has or ever will say "Hmmm, I wonder what kind of toast I should have", and make sushi, or "I like avocado toast, I should try Sushi because it's basically the same thing"
The reason the categorization game is fun is because you end up with absurdly different foods defined as the same thing. If people actually started interpreting toast as being similar in any way to sushi, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.
i'm not saying it's not fun, but like other things that are fun but further imperialism (like idk Call of Duty), it still normalizes western perspective of things all while playing into a collective consensus that western things are the default
why not just say sushi and toast are carb based foods, and leave it at that?
(plus also sushi is at least closer in form to bagels with lox but again, that's not really the point. might as well say, some people like fish and carbs together)
