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”
japanese people complaining about cultural influence is fucking laughable, they LOVE novelty stuff from other countries and fundamental things like panko is like 100 years old and gets the name from the portuguese word for bread…
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.
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.
You might want to re-read my comment because I carefully worded it. I know that rolls are currently a thing in Japan.
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 …
tbf they’re not fans of the non-japanese, not just whites
If anything, “whites” are their favorite type of foreigner!
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
PizzaAbomination, now this.I have never seen a better analogy for pure evil
If the sushi is fish, they should be using tartar sauce
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
i always like immigrant restaurants because they give precisely 0 fucks and will just smush together their cuisine with the native cuisine and create something effectively completely new that tastes amazing and is often pretty easy to cook as well (presumably since they want it to be cheap).
e.g. british indian food, nordic kebab/pizza, thai restaurants, etc etc
Norway at least has food wise benefited immensely from immigration. You always har fine dining with French or Italian inspired food. But I am old enough to remember when TexMex became available in stores and how exotic it was.
yeah my dad has talked about having pizza the first time and how it was a whole thing, meanwhile i’m grown up with pizzerias staffed by middle eastern dudes being as much of a staple as grocery stores… i quite prefer it this way.
Side-eyes the chunks of Creme-cheese in those Sushi Rolls … yes, the ranch-dipping crosses some sort of line, I guess.
The Philadelphia roll is pretty good though. Reminds me of bagels and lox. Why gatekeep, friend?
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.
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.
because fish and dairy is an iffy combination.
For you maybe, but bagels and lox is fire. Definitely worth trying.
I’m all right thanks, I prefer salt beef bagels.
Put some soy sauce in the ranch and problem solved.
the Cleveland roll?
