Social WR Lounge v209: The liquor hittin got me feeling like Lenin

[tonni]

But do you eat butt?

None of your business.

 

[Prokofievian]

Perfect.

Unfortunately it doesn't quite work as well in Finnish, I think. There isn't the same tension here between locals and expats.

 

[Gregolian]

None of your business.

That's a yes.

See, I remember what I ate tasted good... but I was like 11 and I can't remember WHAT I ate and when I have really REALLY good meals I'd like to say I can remember them and how they tasted.

Same. I know some of that is the American attitude about food but I shouldn't be forking over almost $100 for two dinner plates and leaving hungry enough that me and my date decide to buy street tacos on the way home.

Sushi is a great example of what I'm trying to articulate here...

Yes, I do understand that some fish/sushi quality is better than others....but I'm sorry...two rolls of exquisite Salmon and/or Tuna isn't going to satiate my appetite...and I don't want to pay 75 dolloars for that.

I'd rather shell out 25 bucks for all you can eat sushi at some lower tier sushi joint

I went to a sushi place in Japan with my uncle's wife, mom, and my cousin and pretty sure I racked up a sizable bill there eating like Toro and Kobe Beef A5 sushi.

Yes, place had A5 thinly sliced raw on sushi rice and it was GGGGOOOODDDDD

That looks good, whatever it is.

[Falsedawn]

White people

Country that has towns with that many random letters in it don't have any athletic and explosive folks in there.

a lot of games, but not a lot of good bets.

You mad I didn't include Japan huh. Ol colonizing ass.

Japan is 11 because I fucks with sushi, but Chinatown chinese food goes hard. I've never had one tarnish the honor of Chinatowns everywhere.

People that aren't from or haven't resided in small US towns don't realize how good small town Chinese restaurants can be.

It's its own subgenre of food. It's totally inauthentic in every way because it's usually made by one of the town's like 3 or 4 immigrant families and made to appeal to the palates of people who think Ponderosa is very upscale (*raises hand*), but the result is incredible. Fried, high-calorie, packed with sodium, and just awesome.

There's a plateau when it comes to how inauthentic the Mexican gets in small towns: it never reaches the level of, say, bar food Mexican. Even the smallest town's Mexican restaurant does have fairly authentic cuisine on the menu, but most of the items are drenched in queso sauce and usually there is some availability of fries and beef burger in some form. But the Chinese restaurants? Holy hell, it's wild how far they can deviate from actual Chinese food. And while still remaining good.

Nah, not mad about not including Japan. To be frank, Japan doesn't add much to the food world after sushi and like udon and the argument can be made that ramen and curry is them changing cuisine from China and India. I love tonkatsu and okonomiyaki and takoyaki but those foods aren't well known outside of Japan (the last two) unless you have family that are Japanese or are close friends with someone that is Japanese. Tonkatsu is everywhere but the idea of frying food in oil pretty sure Japan also took from China.

Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki you rarely find served in Japanese restaurants in the States. Hell, I've never seen Okonomiyaki in a Japanese restaurant even a Teppanyaki place.

More laughing at how you turn Chinatown and Texas into their own countries lol.

I don't want authentic, I want delicious. And those cats nail delicious. Bless em.

Texas is it's own country, we just consent to being in the US because y'all yankees wouldn't have enough guns if we left. We beat Mexico in a war man, that's real shit.
