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 approve of a bagel with lox as sushi either :)
🤢 🤮
Gatekeeping
Or its a meme.
It’s yucking yums
Seriously. Let people do their crazy shit. It isn’t hurting anyone else.
You want ketchup with steak? Go crazy.
Til gatekeeping = non-insane opinion.
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]
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
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 curry and naan with fewer steps.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Midwest.
Even worse. Given the boot, the sliver of woodland green MARPAT camo, and the ID card reader in the keyboard, this is some dumb ass Marine.
Thats not just sushi dipped in ranch. Thats PX gas station sushi dipped in ranch.
Don’t forget the blue silicone wedding ring. They pushed those at the BX/PX as a way to show your marital status without taking your valuable ring to a deployed site.
Just Americans.
They have no culture.
Your ignorance is showing.
I’m not American. Other than murdering children overseas and being fat, what culture does America have?
What culture do you have?
See how that’s an impossible question to answer?
A man thinking outside of the box. 🤭
Q: How do you get a blow job in Texas? A: Dip it in ranch
Don’t yuck other peoples yum. As long as it’s legal.
What Nazis were doing was legal at the time.
And I will bravely yuck the Nazis’ yum.
I’d wear that on a t-shirt
So brave.
Truly one of the people of all time
Dear God Godwin wasn’t fucking kidding.
Also, point of fucking order here, the Nazis absolutely committed crimes to come in to power and orchestrated an illegal power grab.
We can make light jokes about unusual food combinations. Pretty weird how defensive people are of this obvious food crime.
idgaf if other people’s yum is illegal
Is this Epstein’s account?
Greetings from Tel Aviv!
If the yum hurts them and them alone, then the yum is yum regardless of legal status.
If the yum hurts anyone but the yummer, then the yum is actually yuck, regardless.
It could be worse. He could have battered and deep-fried the sushi before dipping it in Ranch.
I had exactly this. Deep fried sushi. At a place in Ukraine. It was soooo good.
You joke, but there are indeed tempura fried rolls and they are in fact delicious. I personally think then having ranch dip is quite a step too far.
I had a sushi burrito once, it was pretty good.
You… um, well… okay that actually sounds pretty good and I’d totally try it
Well, they say two wrongs don’t make a right, but you might be onto something here.
I’ve had ‘sushi’ where the meat was, cooked, chicken and the roll was tempura battered and fried.
It was good, as fried foods tend to be
I have also had it and it was delicious. I consider it a stepping stone to getting hesitant Americans to give sushi a try.
YOU try living in the shithole Midwest and see how long you go without looking at a candy bar and wishing it was covered in batter and fried.
I’ve never considered this, but now I sort of want to try it.
A big ol dab of tartar sauce on that fishiness.
Yeah the moment I read it, it was less “ewww” and more “huh, I wonder…”
I mean, it’s ranch.
If you’re gonna be weird about it and go away from soy sauce, use blue cheese.
What about Kewpie mayo mixed with organic buttermilk?
Maybe add some sour cream and this legitimately how I make my ranch and blue cheese dressings. So fucking good.
Another good version that I learned from a sushi place is cream with a touch of wasabi and salt. So good.
I’m l getting sushi later, I’ll have to try that when I get home (assuming leftovers).
They had it for the salad, but I couldn’t let it go to waste and it really is delicious.
It’s called fusion, okay?!
As if what we did to them with fission wasn’t destructive enough.
Are they saying that getting eel and putting bbq on it is wrong ?
because i don’t see how it adds up different.
Eel sushi already has a Japanese BBQ sauce on it.
Grilled unagi is amazing.
Yeah but apple wood smoked eel with Carolina sauce on it, also fuckin amazing
