    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.

      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.

    It could be worse. He could have battered and deep-fried the sushi before dipping it in Ranch.

        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.

        Deep fried California rolls are quite common in Vancouver as well.

        Various other deep-fried rolls show up as well, usually with the moniker crazy or crunch before added to some other roll

      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.

      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.

          People love to claim we have no culture then complain about our culture being too prevalent. The post in question is someone dipping an American interpretation of Japanese food (the Philadelphia sushi roll) into a sauce (ranch dressing) so ironically American it can be used in fiction as a shorthand for a person or place being heavily influenced by American culture

              Canada? Ask every other International country. We can wear our flag on our body wherever we go. You wear anything American? You get spit on.

              The world fucking hates you. Maybe comments like this is why.

                Tell me something I don’t know lol. Anyways, I see I was completely right about you not being worth my time to write a thoughtful response to.

                Only an idiot would assume 300million people are all the same. I’m not an idiot so you don’t see me blaming a random native of Canada for running residential schools. That would be stupid, and exactly what you sound like.

              What culture do you have?

              Basketball, Hockey, Lacrosse, Curling in sport. Maple Syrup, Poutine, Donairs, with food. Multiculturalism is accepted in Canada instead of a melting pot in America. We accept other cultures here while you expect them to integrate into Americanism.

              I could go on. There’s a reason you responded with a “Well what about?” instead of actually defending Americal culture, which literally doesn’t exist.

              America is literally a global leech. Takes everything and contributes nothing.

            Non exhaustive

            Culinary culture: ranch dressing, macaroni and cheese, cheeseburgers, chowders, various fusion and reinterpretation foods (such as tex mex, cali mex, and American Chinese food)

            Musical culture: jazz, rap, blues, rock and roll

            Clothing culture: blue jeans, t shirts as outerwear, western style clothing

            Traditional celebrations: a variety of sporting events, high school dance celebrations such as homecoming and prom, independence day celebrations (fireworks, cookouts, and outdoor activities are traditional)

            Game culture: baseball and gridiron football

            Is there an aspect of culture in specific you’d like to accuse us of not having?

              Literally none of those originate from the USA.

              Fuck me, Americans really think they invented everything. Just because you made them popular because you stole culture from another country doesn’t mean you invented it.

              various fusion and reinterpretation foods (such as tex mex, cali mex, and American Chinese food)

              This is an actual defence of “America has no culture” and an example is literally taking other cultures and fucking to up to make your own. Your culture is literally ripping off other cultures and claiming them yours.

              Perfect representation of “America has no culture” if I do say so myself.

                To begin with, please read the origins section here. Now, where the fuck do you think jazz originates‽ Who the fuck else would be making a national holiday of the united states declaration of independence‽

                Apparently several things I listed originated in the UK, which is fair, we’re deeply culturally similar. But I repeat, you really think anyone other than Americans invented jazz music?

                You’re coming in here starting with your base opinion (America bad and can do nothing worthy of even mild redemption). Yeah a lot of our culture comes from fusion and reinterpretation, it’s been barely 500 years since the European rediscovery of the continent. We’re a nation of immigrants that’s 250 years old. Do you think poutine isn’t sufficiently Canadian? If it is, in what way is it different in how much creativity and innovation needed for the US to create basketball?

                I assume nothing originating with native American culture will count to you, so no lacrosse. I suspect you’ll also not count roasted turkey (a north American bird prepared in a European style) served alongside mashed potatoes (incans and brits can argue over who invented them) with turkey gravy, and a dinner of pumpkin and pecan pies (north American plants, European cooking) in a family focused feast themed around giving thanks on the 3rd Thursday of November (originally suggested by Abraham Lincoln, honoring a mythical dinner between colonists and natives, and later made annual by Franklin Roosevelt), despite this being an annual celebration nobody else does, with traditional foods tied to the dual European and North American identity of our country, that’s steeped in history both real and mythological and cultural values such as thanks, family, and gluttony.

                But also as I’m typing this out, I’m realizing invention and uniqueness aren’t even remotely necessary for something to be considered an important part of culture. Basically every European loves to consider beer (or wine) and bread an important part of their culture and yet all three of these things originated in Mesopotamia. Or is the slight variation in your beers significantly more important than our radical remaining of Chinese food or Cincinnati chili (go ahead, blame someone else for that).

                And in what way is it fair to say only Mexico has a cultural claim to chili con carne or only the Taino can consider barbecue part of their culture. Both of these are significant centerpieces to gatherings and local identity in their respective regions.

                And we aren’t fucking up these things, we’re adapting them to our tastes and consuming them ourselves. That’s how cultural exchange and evolution happen.
