Atlas Hugged posted:Do people long for corn though? Koreans may not eat seaweed soup at literally every meal, but they get super nostalgic and homesick for it when you mention it. Corn on the cob, popcorn, cornbread, corn tortillas, etc. Corn comes in a huge variety of forms and nearly every American cultural tradition now has some form of corn worked into it, even if not all amerivans strictly think of the same preperation of it.

Sounds more like the role of seaweed itself in Korean cuisine as opposed to the dish seaweed soup itself.

Honestly cornbread is probably the correct answer for a certain subset of Americans.

The answer is not to look for a American food but for a condiment. Ranch Dressing. It crosses all cultural barriers and preferences. Even people on a diet will embrace the flavor of fat free Ranch on any manner of vegetables or foodstuffs.

You need a food that everyone would autistically insist on having at every single meal, every day. at first i was thinking white nuclear family children having a glass of milk with every meal, but that's probably just dinner and doesnt apply to a large enough group, or the feeling of a meal being incomplete without it. it seems like it would have to be some european country with flatbread

Asking for a glass of milk gets me weird looks in restaurants. But I still do it because the kitchen has to have milk to cook with and it’s delicious.

Maybe the west has been too rich for too long to have some kind of life or death staple food in our culture anymore, and certainly too culturally heterogenous. Remember at least for Chinese people its very important for them to be the same as everyone else.

Bread totally was that food for Europeans at one time; it’s just that they diversified.Sir William Crookes, The Wheat Problem, 1905 posted:The fixation of nitrogen is vital to the progress of civilised humanity. Other discoveries minister to our increased intellectual comfort, luxury, or convenience; they serve to make life easier, to hasten the acquisition of wealth, or to save time, health, or worry. The fixation of nitrogen is a question of the not far‐distant future. Unless we can class it among certainties to come, the great Caucasian race will cease to be the foremost in the world, and will be squeezed out of existence by races to whom wheaten bread is not the staff of life. Europeans ate a shitload of bread, especially before the Columbian exchange. “A shitload” being like 1500 g of bread per person per day. Today, that figure is less than 150 g.

I know very little about the nutritional side of rice but I cook it sometimes. I've been using Jasmine rice. Is this a scrub tier rice? If so what I should instead? I am not picky.

I am not picky. it kind of depends what you want in your rice. white jasmine rice is basically the white rice people are talking about, but there is also brown jasmine rice that is a little tougher and proportionally better for you. there's a big range of that in rice and rice-like products, all the way to wild rice varieties which are actually grasses. they're a lot tougher and generally more difficult to cook and eat but are insanely good for you (though high in carb percentage if you're counting your macronutrients).

The food comparisons doesn't really work since all of the suggestions are not single ingredient dishes. Potatoes are served a million ways with a variety of ingredients, and things like bread start out as a variety of ingredients that are paired with even more. Rice is a single ingredient, that a huge number of people in China eat "as is", and who will refuse to admit they have eaten at all if it isn't present for every meal. I don't think there is really anything in the last 100 years that is comparable if you remove poverty as a factor.* *Rich people in China will still mow down straight white rice three times a day, while you're not likely to find a rich westerner who will do the same with boiled potatoes or corn.

WarpedNaba posted:Wait a minute, how's it pollute China if the fallout's blowing the direction of the usual yellow dust? According to oceanic current charts, the dominating currents go from South Korea toward either Japan or around the Yellow Sea to SE Asia, which means North Korean fallout winds will have their pick based on the weather at the time. But given fallout pattern estimates, some of it will definitely go North and find China

You can add salt to your preference." Them: "Where's the rice?" Me: "No rice. This soup will make you full. It has a lot of stuff in it. Try it." Them: "How can I get full if there is no rice?" Me: "Just eat the soup. You will find out." Them: "Is it healthy?" Me: "Yes, it has a lot of protein and minerals and good stuff. Just eat the soup." Them: "But how to be healthy when you don't eat rice?" Me: "EAT THE SOUP!" Then they eat and later complain they are too full. For this rice fiasco and the assumptions that come with it, I starting making sure to buy one of those white flour unhealthy triangle breads that turn into glue in your stomach, and then they would see "Oh, soup and bread" and not whine about rice. I have had so many people be completely flabbergasted that I might eat one thing for a meal, or that foreigners can eat one dish and not like four fried little bowls of things with a mountain of rice. I had a heck of a time trying to explain burritos to people, since it was just one item, but had everything for a meal inside of it. EDIT: When Chaoshan Girl got to India and she went to eat at a popular Western foods restaurant (partially owned by a bunch of Italians, so it was authentic), she saw the low prices and thought foods would be like in China, so she ordered three dishes to try. She couldn't even finish one of the dishes (some pasta) and had them put the rest in a bag so she could feed it to a cow, since I told her not to throw it away. I ate with her there later and introduced her to burritos, lasagna, veggie burgers, frankies, Indian chowmein, and other things she didn't know existed. This caused her such a shock in her quality of life and feeling that she realized how bad the food she had been eating her whole life is. She returned to China and doesn't eat Chinese food and now cooks all her meals at home. She ordered olive oil and ghee, and drinks at least 500ml of imported milk per day. She said she now realizes how weak and useless she felt before she had this food epiphany, and Chinese food is so bad for health.

I certainly wouldn't understand it if I hadn't seen it. The school I teach at now always has a noodle/ramen option, two or three entrees, some kind of vegetable stir fry, soup, and a salad bar in addition to vegetarian and halal alternatives. I was talking to the Korean student in one of my classes about how much I enjoyed the school lunch here compared to Korea because I just couldn't eat any more seaweed soup and it was like her brain flipped into Dokdo is Korea! mode at the mention of it. "OMG MR. ATLAS, SEAWEED SOUP IS SO GOOOOOOOD. I WOULD MUCH PREFER THAT TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW!" I even talked about how much I enjoyed Korean food, generally speaking, specifically wings and BBQ, but she wouldn't have it. "ALL I WANT IS SEAWEED SOUP." I just smiled, nodded, and died a little inside.

Is this like how Americans have chicken soup when they're sick? According to my mom the Chinese equivalent is rice porridge and pickled vegetables.
