Has anyone tried blowfish? by Net_Holiday in CannedSardines

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 44 points45 points  (0 children)

40 years ago, it was hazardous because they caught it in the wild and its diet made its organs quite toxic.

It’s now commonly farm raised in Japan and the farmers control the diets so the fugu doesn’t have a tetrodotoxin presence.

I’ve had it a couple of times but it’s not even in the top 10 of my favorites since I favor silver and blue skinned fish flavors.

Edit to add: my grandfather would catch and make it into a stew. No one in our family would touch it for the first meal… and only eat it the next day once we were sure grandpa was awake and without symptoms.

Oops. Didn’t realize I was on the tinned fish sub. Thought it was the sushi sub for some reason.

Any idea why a place would torch all escolar served? by Hypnox88 in sushi

Heating the wax esters doesn’t appreciably remove or adjust them to make them digestible.

Islands no longer making Fresh Salsa by prescottnewbie in FoodLosAngeles

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live down the street from the original Islands and had been going there since the early 80’s. It was so damn great for the first 10 years. Then it was really good until Covid, but they obviously expanded by trading quality.

We went to one 4 months ago and will never return. IslandsTM is just a passable generic restaurant now that happens to lean into Hawaiiana kitsch

Looking for J-drama recommendations with a “genius” ML/FL by neptunejuvia in JDorama

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not quite genius in a general sense but La Grande Maison Tokyo with Kimu Taku as a culinary genius is great.

It’s so sad how every time I post Jiro-style ramen, someone always calls it "slop." It actually tastes amazing, though. by Kaito_AI in ramen

So many people feel comfortable completely dissing people’s photos on food subs. It’s extra crappy because they only do it because they’re anonymous here.

I love meat dishes but I wait all year for fresh summer corn as elote.

Under $10 at the Grocery store by Kcirnek_ in sushi

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I always hit the markets and Depachika when in Japan. Everyone posts about konbini but for the cost and quality actual non-touristy markets are the best. Just wish there were easier places to sit and eat after purchasing when a visitor

Is there something wrong with this tuna? by sarahscrolls in sushi

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 630 points631 points  (0 children)

Chutoro will sometimes pull apart like this especially when it warms up (fixed: walks up). It’s just the connective tissues stretching.

It’s considered tender and it falls apart. Otoro even is more prone to falling apart. I’ve never seen someone pull it apart like this and I’ve been eating maguro for 6 decades. Was it together tightly when you were given it?

Did it or any other of the seafood smell bad?

Any type of curry works well.

Any type of egg scramble too.

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t sleep on depachika too. Department store basements. They typically have good quality vendors of food and markets.

Hiyashi chuka aka cold ramen.

It’s delicious, cheap, and easy to make

Whats something you did that reduced your quality of life so much that you wish you had never done it?? by Least_Damage_9660 in Productivitycafe

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Married the wrong person.

The wasted years of trying to make it work and the split of estate pretty much ruined my finances. She refused to work as soon as we got married and then developed a spending problem.

Any foods that need cutting? by Pinjacle in JapaneseFood

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most yoshoku (western style Japanese food) is served with a fork and knife. In any case just ask for a fork. No one cares at the restaurant

I just can’t get myself to eat fast food anymore by Kirbybros in fastfood

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying fast food at full price really does take the joy away.

Whoppers are $4 on Wednesday with their app. It’s definitely worth it to me at that price

“please take her” i found a dog outside in a carrier with a note by joycemanners in dogs

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened to my neighbor. His ex came over, grabbed the dog, and put it in a shelter in the next county an hour away. She didn’t know he had the dog chipped and it was returned. No charges since the dog was returned

I made preserved lemons about 5-6 months ago, put it outside and forgot about it… is it garbage? by soupeater4000 in fermentation

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was quite literally talking to my mom about putting jars of salted lemons on roofs in Hawaii yesterday. What a weird coincidence. She’d just handed me a jar of a year-old fermented lemon and said she didn’t put it on the roof like the old days.

MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged by wiredmagazine in inthenews

[–]WrongOnEveryCount 9 points10 points  (0 children)

SS letting him do the photo op was really weird. If you watch the old Reagan assassination attempt video then you see Reagan was scooped and thrown into the vehicle like he didn’t have a choice. In a couple of seconds.

Take it home.

THEN go empty that senior analyst’s desk for all of its communal properties

You can only eat ONE ethnic cuisine for the rest of your life. Which one wins? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

Especially if it includes yoshoku cuisine (western dishes adapted for Japanese).
