Cause when you think "exotically spiced" you think of Japanese.

I'm sure a lot of the people in this thread would find their use of mayonnaise deeply intimidating.

Tempura anything is like the "safe" option for food cowards in Japanese restaurants, see also california rolls.

the other thing is that you hear about kitchen knives being ostensibly part of the ancient honorable yadda yadda yada samurai bushido yadda and you sort of imagine it's some sort of shonky sales pitch to dupe gullible westerners into buying knives its that, but it's actually also been an actual ancient samurai sales pitch to dupe gullible actual samurai into buying knives since like the 1600s

Oh you better believe this pain in the rear end wouldn't go near "spicy" food. She did eat chicken and would tolerate the karaage from 7eleven and poo poo, but wouldn't touch anything at an izakaya

its just like in my animes.Tiggum posted:OK, only eating rice is weird but kind of understandable. If you don't like flavour, that's probably your best option. But why did he insist on eating with his hands? no idea and I didnt want to bring it up because it'd mean talking to him more. I'm assuming not wanting to embarass himself trying to eat it with chopsticks?

We were both there for work and he had a hell of a time in the hotel "restaurants" in small towns, where you'd get in, sit down and then dinner was a huge slab of steak and a carafe of red wine each. Maybe she was there for work or a convention or something. Nah she came just as a tourist but genuinely seemed to have a bad time. And as a vegetarian living in a country that doesn't consider seafood to be "meat" and that also puts small amounts of meat/seafood in literally everything, I can totally relate to your colleague

I'm sure there's some stuff they don't use it in... but drat. gently caress bad tourist lady the other poster described, though. Picky babby eaters are my least favorite thing, and bringing that poo poo hang-up with you on a trip around others is completely inexcusable. It's also extremely rude and possibly racist to play it up like that when exposed to an unfamiliar culture: millions of locals love this food, because they find something about it delicious, loving chew it you big baby.

I'm sure there's some stuff they don't use it in... but drat. Im pretty flexible in my vegetarianism anyway so it's not a huge deal to me. I cook at home most of the time, and if I'm eating out its easy enough to avoid dashi at izakaya or anywhere that does tempura, but if I'm out with others and they want ramen or something I just accept it. And of course there's a ton of really good non-japanese food here too, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan places, so yeah. Almost as much of a problem is how so many restaurants are just totally inflexible in their menu and won't even do something like leave the bacon out/not sprinkle bonito flakes on top of an okonomiyaki or some poo poo. I get just a flat "no we can't do that" fairly often.

I've had to learn to cook from scratch because I'm allergic to fish and seafood. Really allergic, as in carry an EpiPen everywhere allergic. This is also the main reason I went vegetarian. It is somehow easier to say "vegetarian option", than "I'm fine with meat, but please, no fish for me". Yes, that splash of fish sauce in a Thai dish means it is off limits. Japanese food is generally NOT an option for me  Which is a shame, because it looks amazing.

They still straight-up won't eat certain things like mushrooms and onions, though, and it makes cooking at home hell. People that won’t eat onions are a pain. My aunt refuses to eat anything that onions even touch. My family threw me a graduation party this past weekend, my aunt helped my dad organize things, and she went full HAM at the staff because this gigantic garden salad and big bowl of pasta salad on the buffet table had onions on them. I guess she had tried demanding no onions. Her daughter tried calming her down and eventually said ‘Jesus Christ, just scoop the lettuce from the bottom or don’t take any!’. A sixty five year old woman just about shouting over onions. Embarrassing as Hell. (She also got to near tears when I didn’t eat any of the cake she’d ordered ‘specifically’ for me. It was her favorite kind of cake, and not a kind I like)

People can't choose to like things and you all should feel blessed that you tolerate or enjoy a wide range of foods. Seriously, it's awesome. These stories of fit-throwers and whiny idiots are terrible, though, Christ. You can't expect every meal at every venue to cater to your preferences.

The Bloop posted:People can't choose to like things and you all should feel blessed that you tolerate or enjoy a wide range of foods. Seriously, it's awesome. I put together a full gluten free menu at my restaurant, with selections for salads, sandwiches, entrees, snacks, and sides. It's printed on the same stock as the normal menu and features like 15 or 16 full composed dishes. One of them is a pimento cheese dip which comes with an assortment of fresh vegetables for dipping, says so on the menu. A woman last night ordered it and when she got it, sneered and said "what, I don't get loving gluten free toast with this?" Bend over backwards and it still isn't enough.
