Thread 21645526

Do you sample the poorfag food when you travel? Like if you're in the South, would you try chitlins? Or if you were in Japan would you eat the watermelon rind?

Personally I find these things to be very off putting, and the thought of eating this crap makes me lose what little respect I had for their culture.

>>21645526 (OP)
You can candy them. Just peel, chop and cook in sugar syrup. It has no taste of watermelon tho

>>21645530
I hear that's a very popular way of preparing the leafy bits of strawberries.

I was going to ask why they can't grow it in Japan and then I remember that they do in square format and charge an arm and a leg for them. The Japanese are quite peculiar.

>>21645526 (OP)
Anon, I don't think they sell the rinds of watermelons eaten by other people. I think the store sells the flesh separately.

>>21645538
imagine being this mad over someone not eating the non succulent parts. why do they get so emotional over people not strictly following their mental rules

>>21645538
I pluck the stems/leaves off but I eat the rest.

>>21645538
lmao what an odd thing to be mad about.

>>21645554
The japanese pick a way to do this or that, and decide that that is the japanese way. Then once it's decided as proper or traditional, you get sad fucks who spend 50 years of their only time on earth "mastering"(read:repeating) growing watermelon in a box a certain way before they commit suicide.

>>21645869
They developed a whole sad culture around living in denial and humoring fast food workers.

The whole society pretends it takes a lifetime to master steaming rice or skewering eels, just so the losers that do it for a living can save face and pretend they're on the level of doctors instead of admitting they're goyslop merchants.

>>21645881
That shit in the webm is exactly what I'm talking about yeah. Will you be better at skewering eel 1 year after starting? Absolutely. Another year? Probably a bit better sure. Another year of dedicating yourself to something so specific, repetitive, and mundane? It's diminishing returns at that point and you probably aren't appreciably better than you were after two years of "mastering" something like that. People make it a large part of their identity and maybe one day they wake up and realize that they've spent a lifetime on something that wasn't worth such an investment.

Watermelon rinds and seeds are high in cucurbitacins, which are very good for clearing out the gut. Maybe that's why it's popular in Japan (health trend)

Chitlins are fucking awesome, you heathen scum.

>>21646094
Wypipo eat them as well down south.

>>21646095
>OP: Poverty or culture?
When we eat chitlings, it's poverty. When you people eat them, its culture.

Man japan is so much better than america. I hate it here
>but this or that autistic thing
At least they fucking try. At least there's an attempt at that lip service. Unlike here where we drop all politeness and respect for others and just treat everyone terrible especially if they're lower class and call it honesty and freedom.

Nice LARP, Miroslav Yugonovic.

We smashed the Japs in WW2 precisely because of our superior culture (genetics not withstanding).
It's the ruthless never ending humiliation ritual that makes the West the Best.

Japs are always bowing and simping and appologizing.

Our people are hardened, galvanized, ever vigilant for the chance to seize the initiative and get their turn to wear the boot and do the dirty dance on the face of their enemy.

>>21646156
QRD on vidrel?

>>21646294
Standard daily team building exercise to improve worker morale at American businesses. Ostensibly. It's really part of the humiliation ritual that brings out human excellence.

The dancing doesn't make workers more productive, but the ritual is what created the cut throat manager leading the dance. His motivations are entirely personal, he just wants to experience wearing the boot and doing the stepping. He doesn't even realize he's part of natures glorious ballet. He's honing his own replacement.

>packaging compost in more plastic for a few cents profit

Nuke Japan again. Then Israel for good measure.

>>21645538
Never thought the Chinese would be the normal ones in any situation.

>>21645538
why do they have Chinese tourists pick strawberries

>>21646417
ironically you're also describing Japanese work culture too. You ever hear about work mandated radio taiso, nomikai Presenteeism? The arbitrary tradition forming and adherence is the same as the humiliation rituals you're describing
The only difference is America stays cut throat, nip stops once you're in: majority at will employment vs lifetime employment. This seems cultural

>>21645881
They say this about literally every kind of food they make, it's genuinely comical.

>>21646130
In Japan they treat you terribly if you step out of line even a bit, what the fuck are you talking about? You will get the cold shoulder from the entire nation and will have no future. You think it's better because you fit in. If you didn't your life would be miserable.

>>21645526 (OP)
Japanese are suffering from weak yen due to their dying economy so costs of food keeps increasing and many can no longer afford to eat well at all thus the rinds.

These parts would normally be discarded, but some people still use them, so they are sold cheaply in stores.
Pickling melons is fairly common in Japan, but using watermelon rind is quite rare.
In recent years, cut watermelon fruit packs containing only the flesh have become popular, so the "clean watermelon rind" can be obtained through this process.

>>21646156
>Japs are always bowing and simping and appologizing.
Not for certain things...

>>21646772
Rape of nanjing? No such thing!

>>21646609
a lot of japanese farms allow you like a basket of free strawberries if you go collect them yourself. it's a nice tradition and a very japanese thing. i can only assume the greedy chinks are abusing it

>>21646709
They're gonna fix it by voting for even further right-wing politicians
>lmao

>>21645881
Doctors just ask Grok but Grok can't skewer eel.

>>21646730
i wish we could easily buy stuff like this because making stocks and broths from scratch is impossible since i simply never have enough bones and bits

>>21645538
i know you guys are extremely brown but the person here isnt mad that the yellow devils only eat the sweet bits. as shown in the attached picture the issue is they throw the parts they dont eat everywhere and make a mess. thank you for your attention in this matter.

>>21646865
Who cares what he's mad about? That same japanese person would see someone doing that and avert their eyes because as a nation they have no spine. You see this trend with social media posts by japanese people typing out angry and bombastic complaints about people 10 feet in front of them then proceed to silently seethe like doormats.

>>21646865
You are responding to literal shills from China. They have too much free time on their hands and have tens of thousands of shills online who spread very bizarre propaganda.
The whole strawberry thing was a weird campaign a year or so ago where they would send Chinese spies to Japan for the sole purpose of being really obnoxious about eating strawberries and throwing them out.
Then tiktok and 4chan got absolutely flooded with bots calling Japan poor and saying how in China strawberries are pig disgusting pig food with videos of government shills harvesting strawberries and feeding them to pigs.
These people are insane.

>>21645526 (OP)
watermelons are very bland, they are a nice refreshment when it's hot nothing more
honey melons however, delicious

>>21646609
>>21646810
>and a very japanese thing.
pick your own strawberries is common in Britain, saves the farmer labour cost and they still upsell compared to supermarkets, think some places even pay you for picking their crop while you keep a portion yourself. there's also pick your own pumpkins guessing thats more familiar for americans

>>21645881
you have to remember that for centuries japs weren't allow to leave their villages without permission, they were no different than serfs you'd see in europe or ancient egypt or russia(where serfs had it really bad). but it was much more constrictive in japan, we're talking people who's families lived in a small mountain village for over a thousand years. the fall of rome and the repeated black death plagues were ironically liberating for europeans japs never really had that till the meiji era in the 1860's. under that culture you had to become a master of some mundane task because guess what? your next dozen generations all get to follow in your footsteps so you might as well learn how to master boiling rice because there is nothing else for you

>>21646813
when what they really need is endless nigs and pajeets, that'll fix the economy! just look at the west!

>>21647109
Why would China run a campaign to send chinese spies over to japan and rudely eat strawberries? What would they gain from that? Fostering social media posts shitting on chinese people?

>>21647138
the problem is that the chinese pick everything

>>21647154
Lol based retard, he thinks right wingers actually want to get rid of immigrants when their billionaire corporate donors would go apeshit about losing the cheap wage slaves.

>>21646090
Almost tried them a few times, but I could never get past the horrid shit smell

>>21647109
You are schizophrenic.

I went through a half dozen watermelons to find one with a decent rind to pickle, it wasn't really worth it.

>>21647175
chinks really are that retarded, its all 'face' bullshit. dont forget that they let 80million of themselves starve because they kept claiming farm production was multiple times higher than it actually was all because it would be national shame to admit their yields were lower than other countries

>>21646700
Gaijin don't understand the Japanese "ちゃんと食べる" (chanto taberu) concept, which means to eat well. You see, in Japan, it's not enough to simply eat, you must eat well. That is why the chef takes a lifetime to master the grilling of eel.

>>21645526 (OP)
>AUD$3 for 3 slices of watermelon
lol
lmao

>>21645526 (OP)
I live in Japan, I never saw watermelon rinds, ever.
It's like 2 bucks for a few slices, who would buy rinds? Doesn't make sense.

Also watermelon is a luxury product because they only sell Japan grown watermelons. Imported fruits have a huge tariff on them because of the agricultural lobby.

>>21647620
More like Japanese don't understand the concept of diminishing returns. If instead of taking 60 years to only grill eel, you took 2 years each to learn cooking 30 different things, you'd be a better, more well-rounded cook in the end and the insights you get from broadening your horizons would let you to more creative things with the eel itself as you revisited it each time. The japanese would rather be 5% better at cooking one thing and clueless anywhere else than be able to cook 59 other things nearly as well and become a master of cooking, which ironically would make their eel better too in the long run. It's a mindset that deserve ridicule, not praise.

>>21648692
Japanese are too dumb to comprehend optionality or the absence of obligation

>>21647149
>master boiling rice
so a college student in america lol...

>>21645538
yeah japs are programmed to be bootlicking slaves lol

>>21648692
Next I'll introduce you to the Japanese 笑う (warau) concept. 笑う is a very important concept to the Japanese and is associated with the Japanese traditional performing arts, such as 落語 (rakugo). 笑うis a Japanese word that means "to laugh" and it's very important in Japan because Japanese people like to laugh and tell jokes.

>>21645526 (OP)
Those are for feeding beetles. Gaijins don't know anything about the real world.
