Reminds me that like the California roll, Philadelphia roll and ig using stuff like cream cheese, just wasn't a thing in Japan, they are American things, but as Japense tourists came to america and had them, they started wanting them back home and some people are pissed Japense sushi is being "Americanized"

I add cream cheese to my Dragon rolls. It's delicious with eel.

TIL about American sushi. I was wondering why the sushi looked weird, sushi typically has seaweed outside where I live.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep, rolls originally weren't a thing in Japan. Sushi rolls started with the California Roll, which was invented in Little Tokyo, LA. Traditional Japanese sushi is just rice and fish, with freshly-grated Wasabi sandwiched in between.

rolls are a thing. it's different though, with seaweed wrap on the outside, instead of rice. it's called makizushi.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You might want to re-read my comment because I carefully worded it. I know that rolls are currently a thing in Japan.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

i know what you meant. i was saying rolls started in Japan, it wasn't invented by the American. The American just invented a specific style of rolls that have rice on the outside.

Surprised they didn't complain about the sushi being a roll of canned tuna with cream cheese. I wouldn't worry about the ranch.

They complained it wasn’t American cheese

Somebody please introduce this person to Japanese mayo.

egg yolks

typical Japan, not fans of the whites ...

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tbf they're not fans of the non-japanese, not just whites

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

If anything, "whites" are their favorite type of foreigner!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

How do you make mayonnaise?

The recipe I use calls for 3 egg yolks, 1 tbsp oil, ½tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp lime juice, ¼tsp sugar, pinch of salt.

Whip together in a bowl or jar, it won't emulsify if there's a thunderstorm coming.

Somehow the yolks turn white. I assume this is due to the proteins getting stretched.

You can add one of the egg whites if you're making an aioli from scratch. Otherwise, they can be used for merengue.

First the Altoona ~~Pizza~~ Abomination, now this.

If the sushi is fish, they should be using tartar sauce

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Food doesn't evolve in a vacuum. I love how cultures meeting also means developing music, traditions, music and food. Vietnamese is fusion of Asia and France. Viet-Cajun is vietnamese in the south of US. And then you get the marvelous vier-cajun-viet! British Indians developing the food.

Salmon sushi is Norwegian (ish) so different sauce on sushi...bring it on

[–] MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Put some soy sauce in the ranch and problem solved.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Side-eyes the chunks of Creme-cheese in those Sushi Rolls ... yes, the ranch-dipping crosses some sort of line, I guess.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The Philadelphia roll is pretty good though. Reminds me of bagels and lox. Why gatekeep, friend?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I actually love all of it, minus any need for adding ranch dressing. Just saying that you, me, and OP have no grounds to diss it.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True. I’ve got to imagine it is not good, like at all. But there is this nihilistic bastard in my head gaslighting me; Maybe it’s not so bad. We care about nothing, Lebowski. Point being there is a non-zero chance that this is legit. Probably terrible, but I am saying that there’s a chance.

I'm betting it tastes like slightly chewy ranch dressing.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

because fish and dairy is an iffy combination.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For you maybe, but bagels and lox is fire. Definitely worth trying.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I'm all right thanks, I prefer salt beef bagels.

[–] qwertilliopasd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

the Cleveland roll?
