It’s pre-packaged grocery store sushi. Dipping it in ranch is the only way it tastes good.
I dip mine in cocktail sauce after putting Wasabi and ginger on it. With squeezed lemon juice in the cocktail sauce
I mean it’s Kroger Sushi who cares…
Americans are such degenerates it’s actually crazy
I read that Europeans here for the World Cup are crazy for ranch dressing. Seems odd that they don’t already have it, given all the American junk food franchises over there.
We can buy ranch in the UK but its a very new thing. And very american, bit fatty for me tbh.
Apparently the Japanese have discovered American food and have lost their goddamn minds. Those poor bastards.
Well it kinda makes sense because novelty usually tastes good, or at least “interesting”.
Someone tell me what doesn’t taste good with ranch. Go on. I’ll wait.
Not that things don’t taste good with ranch, some things just taste better with something else.
Assuming it’s gross with chocolate cake but I haven’t tried. Might be alright with carrot cake though I guess
In the distance, Japanese sirens.
it already had cream cheese in it. The first mistake was made at the grocery store.
You don’t have to like a Philly roll but it’s pretty much the same thing as a bagel with lox and shmear so don’t talk like it’s an unheard of abomination.
I don’t put ranch dressing on a bagel either. ;-)
I don’t approve of a bagel with lox as sushi either :)
How has no one mentioned the ring yet? What’s that placement on the finger? It looks like half of it is right on the joint and it looks like 3d printed plastic. It’s a wedding ring but no material that lasts looks like that.
Not uncommon for people in mechanical fields to use rubber wedding bands in place of a conventional, they ahve a breakaway cut so if they get caught in a machine they just tear open…
The blue is an interesting choice though.
That’s a safety ring. They’re silicone rings you were around machinery. You can still wear a representative wedding band but it won’t degloved you if you catch it on a blade or if it snags during a fall. Climbers wear them too.
My fiance is a chef and she wears these.
Oh sweet innocent baby jesus…
the only thing I dip sushi in is 50/50 Shoyu/Wasabi paste…
I don’t measure mine but yesss - somebody changed my life when they showed me that trick.
Yeah, what you want is something that has the consistency of elmer’s glue… :)
That way it sticks to the rice.
Gatekeeping
Or its a meme.
Yes, as we all know no one ever takes jokes too far to the point of electing them president of a powerful nation.
It’s yucking yums
Seriously. Let people do their crazy shit. It isn’t hurting anyone else.
You want ketchup with steak? Go crazy.
And laughing about it doesn’t really hurt anyone either…
Til gatekeeping = non-insane opinion.
Having an opinion isn’t gatekeeping. Forcing others to have your opinion is.
🤢 🤮
Ain’t nothing wrong with fusion cuisine.
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.
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]
Sounds like my Chipotle burrito is a Philadelphia roll
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.
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.
I’ve never seen that around here. I bet it’s delicious though.
I think I see salmon, cream cheese, and guac, so neither?
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
Kimchi Mac N Cheese
Do it. It’s incredible.
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.
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.
it’s curry and naan with fewer steps.
And controversial opinion: I prefer mozzarella to paneer for curry
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.
And you can even say that poutine is a fusion food. Potatoes are a new world food and cheese is an old world food.
Kimchi Mac N Cheese
Mac & kim-cheese.
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).
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.
Chicken Tikka Masala burrito! Holds the sauce so good!
Definitely going to try that with some sour cream and salsa
Also, California burritos are fusion? Burrito is a Californian invention, and French fries are pretty American (sorry Belgium).
Burritos are Mexican, Fries are American, thus the fusion into a California Burrito containing a protein + fries + guacamole and salsa.
Souce: Southern California Native.
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:
Kimchi grilled cheese is a very tasty and very easy lunch!
Kimchi and blue cheese quesadillas are fantastic.
Now that’s a stanky quesadilla
Kebab pizza is also good.
That roll has cream cheese inside. It’s already considered a capital offense in Japan.
If the Japanese stop putting salmon out I’ll believe their silly rules.
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.
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.
👎 : Ranch instead of Soy Sauce
👍 : Ranch instead of spicy mayo
NGL, I will be trying the ranch+sushi combination myself.
