They have a particular variety of mayo (they loving love mayo) that is completely different then most other mayo. It think its much sweeter or something like that. Japanese mayo is awesome. It's a bit tangy like it has just a slight bit of horseradish in it. It's much better than the generally tasteless sandwich lube you get most often in the US. Japan actually consumes about a quarter to a third less mayo than the US. It's just that Japanese-style mayo actually has a taste so you see it advertised as a flavor in more things. It's a functional condiment in the US rather than a flavorful one. However, both countries pale in comparison to Russia, which consumes more mayo per capita than both countries combined. The most noticeable thing about most Japanese cuisine is the lack of texture. Foods that are soft are generally preferred over foods that aren't. "It's so soft!" is one of the common ways you'll hear people compliment food. Also, flavors that are too strong are generally disliked, and this goes in both directions. Salty snack foods are generally sweet or less salty. Sweet things like donuts are much less sweet than their American counterparts. Spicy things are generally less spicy. Wasabi is one of the few rare exceptions, and they also like kimchi too for some reason. So, to the western palate that values more varied textures, a lot of Japanese cuisine tastes textureless and flavorless. This is part of what makes natto so gross. It doesn't taste that terrible, but the texture is off-putting and it does smell weird since it's a fermented food. ErIog has a new favorite as of 06:19 on Apr 14, 2015 |

On my last day in San Francisco I stopped into a sushi restaurant and decided to order natto as part of my meal, having never tried it before. gently caress natto. Natto is the poo poo that collects between unwashed toes and the greasiest bellybuttons.

I like natto! I think with Japanese food, the most off-putting thing for me is the (occasional) use of sliminess. Yamaimo can gently caress off. I'm not crazy about raw eggs, either.

Chips with a little mustard is indeed awesome, too bad that guy isn't doing it, since that orange paste is definately NOT mustard. Is this another one of those almost-like-the-real-product-but-not-really thing like what you guys call "mayo" ?

Zanael posted:Chips with a little mustard is indeed awesome, too bad that guy isn't doing it, since that orange paste is definately NOT mustard. It's probably a sweet hot or spicy mustard. Those tend to be more orange (to denote they have been mixed with red hot sauce I guess?). I have a bottle of Beaver Sriracha Mustard and one of Inglehoffer Sweet Hot in my fridge right now and they are about that color.

Since my post about the terrible Czech eatery created some amusement, I decided to have my lunch there today. I regret this decision. It was worse than any school cafeteria meal I had. The place was full of old people who I assume are its primary clientele. A faint stench of urine lingered in the air. I decided to go for something which was labeled as beef goulash with pasta. It came with garlic soup with oats. It tasted worse than it looked. The soup was bland and I forgot it was supposed to taste like garlic while I was eating. It tasted like disappointment complemented by a handful of oats floating near the bottom of the bowl. By the time I finished the soup the "beef goulash" was cold. I've had plenty of beef goulash in the past and this did not taste like it in the slightest. The meat was just dry and tough and the sauce had no distinctive taste other than salty. It was surprisingly thick and starchy. Nothing remarkable about the pasta. While the price was low, the cheapness doesn't justify the terrible food quality. Almost anything I could get for a similar price would be better than this. Here's also an extra picture of their today's selection: Captain Jesus has a new favorite as of 17:07 on Apr 14, 2015 |

It's not alone as far as Czech eateries go. There was one place I went to where the soup of the day was basically "whatever didn't sell yesterday soup," and another that gave food poisoning to like 20 of my coworkers in one go.

Basically, a standard Eastern European cheap, erm, eating place for lack of a better word. I've been to dozens of places like this from Russia to Poland and they are always full of students, old people, and occasionally factory workers. You don't go there to taste food, you go there to quickly stuff your gob with a marginally edible full meal for a price of one Macky D's sandwich.

In Russian they are called 'stolovaya' which is distinct from restaurants. Think a school cafeteria with slightly more choices. Sometimes they even are actual school/Uni cafeterias that try to make some extra money. They are literally the cheapest places you can find bar soup kitchens. No fast food chain can compete with their prices. There is no shortage of proper restaurants and cafes in Eastern Europe, mind, but there are always stolovayas. too.

The real shitholes are the same except sometimes you just tell someone who works there what you had and give them money of some kind, probably lunch vouchers. Again, nice restaurants are occasionally really good for dinner. Most of my bad experiences are lunches. For the record, the soup is often the least offensive part of the meal and after a few days starts to actually help wash the gristly mangled ham "steak" down. I also have a bit of an appreciation for the palatable simplicity of unseasoned iceberg lettuce. SLOSifl has a new favorite as of 00:51 on Apr 15, 2015 |
