God when can we stop pretending to give a shit about how people eat?
I’m sure if we keep pretending to care about people putting pineapple on pizza just one more time it will finally be funny, right?

The best one is people getting upset over putting ketchup on a hotdog. It’s a fucking hotdog, it’s completely insane to act like a snob over the condiments people put onto mystery meat.
- Vespair@lemmy.zipEnglish10 hours
Man don’t even talk to me about the stupidity of the anti-ketchup cult, as if ketchup isn’t a brilliant condiment crafted through human iteration that literally traces over a thousand years to roots in ancient Roman garum and BCE Chinese fermented fish sauces! But yeah sure dude who has read 4 books in his life, tell me about how ketchup is “basic.”
Pop culture opinions are so fucking stupid.

Yeah let me be clear because that dude was wrong, I am not remotely offended by this dumb meme. I think it’s fucking lame and pointless, but that’s it. I’m calling people who upvote this shit idiotic sheep with awful taste, but I’m definitely not clutching any pearls.

This isn’t punching down it’s just razzing someone’s questionable food choice.
I mean… Maybe we shouldn’t jump to conclusions here? I’d give it a go lol
Also, it looks like Philadelphia roll, so might actually go well together.

This is also a grocery store Philly Roll. We’re already past simple fusion and into some Red Giant Helium-to-Oxygen shit. If my man wants some ranch, then so be it. He’s not denying himself an unsullied cross-cultural experience.
Isn’t that more of a California Roll? Around here, a philly roll is salmon, cream cheese and cucumber, no sauce.

Standard Philly roll is raw salmon, cream cheese, and avocado, but some places do it differently while maintaining the name. The only hard requirements are salmon (some places even use smoked salmon and call it a Philly roll, which I disagree with, but whatever) and cream cheese.
Last time I got a Philadelphia roll, it was smoked salmon and boy was I disappointed. The smokey flavor overpowered everything. Defeats the entire purpose of sushi imo
I’m not disagreeing with you, cuz I don’t know, but wikipedia says:
A Philadelphia roll is a makizushi (also classified as a kawarizushi)[1] type of sushi generally made with smoked (or sometimes raw) salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber, with the rice on the outside (uramaki).[2] It is sometimes made with imitation crab instead of salmon, but can be found to include other ingredients, such as other types of fish,[3] cucumber,[4] scallions,[5] and sesame seed. Like many Western-inspired sushi rolls, its design and name are modified to target an American market, which includes putting the rice on the outside, and the nori in the inside (inside-out sushi) to appeal to western aesthetics.[6][7]

Wow. Time for me to make an edit because that is some bullshit.
It is sometimes made with imitation crab instead of salmon
I can’t even imagine where this came from because I have never encountered this and I have been eating sushi all over the world. It is never made with imitation crab.
- jaybone@lemmy.zipEnglish2 days
I wonder why the inside out roll is supposed to appeal more to westerners. As a westerner, I don’t mind the nori on the outside.
- 2 days
I didn’t think I would care, but now that I’ve had both many times I absolutely prefer the rice on the outside.
I caught that too. I think it’s the dark color on the outside? They sell onigiri in a lot of our grocery stores and I’ve only seen them covered with opaque wrappings. That’s why I think it’s correct, but I’m not sure. It could also seem less chewy when it’s on the outside because there’s more to stretch? Just guessing.

Around here (Texas), it’s the cream cheese and smoked salmon that make a place call it a Philly Roll, and the avocado vs cucumber varies by restaurant. Avocado is pretty popular though, because anything that evokes Tex-Mex will find an audience.
Oh you’re right. If the avacado hadn’t darkened, I would think that was good.
My favorite fusions:
Sushi Burritos
California Burritos
Kimchi Mac N Cheese
Chicken tikka masala pizza
Ah this just reminded me that last year I had a kimchi Reuben sandwich, and it was outstanding. Subbed in kimchi instead of sauerkraut.
Pricey as fuck though.
Kimchi Mac N Cheese
For those reading and thinking “what the actual fuck”, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. This is in steady rotation at my place. You’d think American cheese is a bad fit for asian food, but budae jjigae has been a staple comfort dish in Korea since the war and proudly boasts this flavor combo.
Anyway, this dish is incredible. The kimchi funk is mellowed by the other ingredients and contributes acid, spice, and seasoning to the overall dish for practically zero effort.
Top and finish as you like. Here, we like to take it deeper into East Asia by adding chopped green onions, fried shallots, peanuts, and chili crisp.
I will never knock anything with kimchi in it. That shit is so goddamn good
Edit: holy shit I just clicked that link lol… Looks like the kind of dish that I would make at 4am, stoned, in college. Just throw everything I’ve got in a bowl and mix it up.
And that is not a criticism haha. Looks insane
I think you hit the nail on the head there. IMO, it’s very much late-night drinking/partying food. It’s right up there with the Rochester Garbage Plate, Jumbo Slice in downtown D.C., or those hotdogs they serve on the street in Reykjavík.
Yes, but more like “kimchi to taste”. For the typical Kraft box, I’d say more like half a cup of kimchi, but please do sneak up on what you think is a good amount if its your first time. For reference, a lot of Korean dishes serve at least a quarter-cup per serving.
I’ve seen photos of sushi burritos on menus, but I’m always confused as to how you’re supposed to eat it? Do you pick it up and bite into it like a burrito? And it doesn’t immediately fall apart?
- 1 day
Musubi works fine and that’s not too different from a burrito. Presumably less structurally sound, even.
Sushi burritos are basically a giant sushi roll you eat like a hand roll or sushi rolls.
If the burrito is say two pieces only, pick it up, pour your preferred sauce on top and bite.
If the burrito is more than two pieces, it’s now a giant sushi roll you can eat with chopsticks or a fork.
Try one! They’re delicious.
- 12 hours
I’m just trying to imagine biting into a giant sushi roll and tearing, without it breaking and falling apart… Have you ever tried eating a regular sushi roll in more than one bite? That shit does not tear cleanly.
That’s why I prefer to make them at home where I use rice flour tortillas instead of seaweed as the outter casing. Holds up like a real burrito, but tastes just as good as the seaweed ones. Also allows me to lighten the rice layer and add other stuff.
Of course you can just be lazy and throw two sushi rolls inside a rice flour tortilla, sprinkle it with some soy and cock sauce, wrap it up and enjoy too.

Curry pizzas sound like a bad idea till you realize a lot of curries are just pizza ingredients that you put on bread.
It’s also not as big a leap as one might think. There are all kinds of chaat that are basically small rounds of bread that are just wrecked with toppings. They may as well be pizza with 100% Indian street food ingredients.

I think the biggest thing aboot poutine isnt that poutine is amazing. It’s that it unlocked some amazing fusions.
Butter chicken poutine.
Chicken shawarma poutine.
Vindaloo poutine.It’s all good.
If it’s saucy and tastes good with cheese, poutine it. It will be amazing.

Chicken Tikka Masala burrito! Holds the sauce so good!
Also, California burritos are fusion? Burrito is a Californian invention, and French fries are pretty American (sorry Belgium).
Edit: apparently I’m mistaken. I was under the impression that burritos were an invention of the California Gold Rush (distinct from tacos and using flour & lard tortillas).
- 2 days
The California Gold Rush was literally right after the territory was ceded from Mexico, so even if burittos had come from then they might as well have been still effectively Mexican anyway.

Yeah, I definitely used Californian instead of American there with that in mind. I wouldn’t want to give credit to the white man for burritos.

Burritos are Mexican, Fries are American, thus the fusion into a California Burrito containing a protein + fries + guacamole and salsa.

Side note, I miss Dunkirk and Antwerp lol… That’s where I got introduced to Carbonade flamande. Now I make it at home using Chimey ale, throw some cilantro/coriander in there with belgian fries and parmesan on top… So good.

As a fellow Southern California native, I’m now extra intrigued that you consider California Burrito to be fusion. I’ve lived in San Diego for over 40 years and have always considered it local cuisine, the fusion aspect never crossed my mind.
If you’re still around, this is the place that made the chicken tikka masala burrito:

We San Diegans have to remember that San Diego is unique in that it was once part of Mexico and Spain before that, so our local cuisine comes to us already infused. That doesn’t mean it’s not fusion food though. My wife, a native born Mexican has dragged me half across Mexico to see her family and it is in those trips where I realized certain foods are undeniably Mexican in their roots. From Burritos to corn tortilla tacos, they’re mexican. However, french fries are not, thus fusion cuisine.
Having lived in Chula Vista now for 26 years, I’ve learned two food facts:
-
Cesar Salad was invented in Tijuana and came to Chula Vista second in the 1930s
-
The California Burrito was invented in San Ysidro in the 1980s.

That roll has cream cheese inside. It’s already considered a capital offense in Japan.
Japan’s most popular fairly-priced national sushi chain is doing things much more wild than ranch on a rotating monthly basis. Every time I’m in Japan for work I stop in to Sushiro just to see what they’re doing this month that would make American weebs angry.
- BillyClark@piefed.socialEnglish2 days
That’s my thought. There’s nothing more offensive about ranch than using cream cheese.
I used to live in Japan, and from what I could see, Japanese people aren’t fundamentally opposed to the concept of sushi with weird ingredients. They simply just don’t think it’s normal sushi.
It’s like people watched Jiro: Dreams of Sushi and assumed that all sushi in Japan is like that

Right? I’m Canadian. Poutine is a culture here, especially Quebec (Where I lived for a short time). Poutine is straight fries, fresh cheese curds, and gravy. That’s it.
You can totally add whatever you want to it. Plenty of restaurants exist to make pulled pork or extra loaded poutine. Want to add green onions? Ceaser dressing? Tater tots? Have at er, bud. Just don’t call it a traditional poutine.
I make sushi at home. I used to work in a sushi shop full time. We had all the traditional rolls for people but also some off the cuff ones like with cream cheese and such.

Not really. Just like no one gets offended when Japan use squid ink in burger buns, or put noodles in a baguette/hot dog bun.
I don’t know of anyone who has attempted to eat sushi with brown sauce, but I feel like the flavour profile could work, now that you mention it.
Brown Sauce

I live in Japan and don’t like ranch dressing. I still don’t have a problem with this, really. I think it would overpower the tastes of the ingredients since ranch has garlic, herbs, etc., but that’s their choice.

We can make light jokes about unusual food combinations. Pretty weird how defensive people are of this obvious food crime.
Those “fancy” sushi at restaurants that have the orange sauce drizzled over them in a fancy pattern? That’s mostly mayo, which is in the same family as ranch. I wouldn’t do it, but it’s not as insane as it first appears.
It’s pre-packaged grocery store sushi. Dipping it in ranch is the only way it tastes good.
prepackaged American sushi. the ranch is not just an option, it’s a requirement.
That appears to be an Alaska roll. It already has cream cheese but still probably dry on account of the source. Soy sauce would be fine.

They have our franchises but they aren’t that popular for the most part. The American section of the grocery stores I’ve been to over there is like 1 shelf that’s half full of candy and potato chips. And that section only exists in the larger stores.
