We missed out on cool regional versions of food because people kept crying "cultural appropriation". This is Russian sushi (www.youtube.com)

Food will always mutate based on people’s tastes, which always change. Any restaurant that fears “cultural appropriation” are just chicken shits and deserve no more business.

Anyone who unironically cries “cultural appropriation” is a faggot.

I've had sushi in eastern europe. Don't.

It's either regular sushi but worse quality controls.
Or it's an original design and tastes horrible.

90% of everything I ate there was much better than the states, but sushi did not make the list.

This. And they stuff it full of cream cheese.

If you go all the way to Vladivostok you can get decent sushi, but forget about it in Moscow.

Hah, fucking cream cheese. Yeah, sushi having a bunch of cream cheese is awful and really popular. Weirdly, it's also really common in south america too.

How did two continents on opposite ends of the world manage to get together and fuck up sushi in the same way?

One reason may be that they have stricter food quality rules. It's one of the few things I wish the US would be more in parity with.

They might have stricter rules, but bribing officials in Russia is normal practice. Enforcement is highly dependent on your ability to pay off inspectors.

I think it's the freshness TBH. I stayed at at a place for a week with a pub attached that made the best omelettes I've had in my entire life. I complimented them on the food being so good, and they told me they got their food from a market two blocks away.

It was an open air market with stalls and stuff, and the first lady I talked to who was selling eggs and vegetables had a farm a few miles down the road.

Try to get that in USA and it'd probably cost $2 an egg nowadays.

I really wanted to make some naan bread the other day, but I couldn't because on the ingredients list was "75% or better Indian heritage."

I fear one day if all the people with family in India leave our country, I'll never have naan again.

Naan means bread in Persian. Pajeets just culturally appropriated the word because their trash culture can't make anything.

Any country with a Tandir oven (all of Central Asia, Arabia and even eastern Europe) make various naan breads.

Do things like California Rolls and Seattle Rolls not count as "regional versions" of sushi?

i dont know about Seattle rolls but California roll was invented by a Japanese Canadian so it doesn't really count since he wouldnt be accused of cultural appropriation anyways

Japanese don't consider hyphenated Japanese to be actual Japanese though

Funnily enough for how common they are now, potatoes are not native to any European nation, they were brought in from the Americas.

Yes, but they were brought in the 1500's and popularized in the 1600's. That's a long long time ago, enough that they might as well be considered "native" now.

honestly cultural appropriation pissed me off. The French stole freedom fries and now everyone calls them French fires and Hamburg stole our good old American liberty steaks!

There’s a local place here in town that’s a fusion of Mexican and Chinese cuisine and not only is the food absolutely delicious. The owner is a close friend of mine now and he’s absolutely based as fuck. He’s actually had a few people come in and bitch that he’s culturally appropriating these cultures and he told them to fuck straight off

Cultural appropriation only applies to White people. Non-whites can do whatever the fuck they want with whatever cultures they want.
