just as chauvinist about their cuisine as they are racist

Edit: Just want to clarify, Japanese is easily one of my favourite cuisines. Thai's probably #1 for me though.

    That is news to me. I thought there was a greater vegetarian tradition in Asian countries than in western.

      Maybe across the board or in general across Asia, but Japanese cuisine in particular is pretty scant on vegetarian options due to the heavy prominence of seafood.

      Japanese culture, from what I understand, just considers seafood part of vegetarian diets. As in you'll get weird looks if you ask for no fish in your vegetarian meal.

        I think if you specifically look for shojin ryori, you'll get vegan food. Probably.
