    God when can we stop pretending to give a shit about how people eat?

    I’m sure if we keep pretending to care about people putting pineapple on pizza just one more time it will finally be funny, right?

      The best one is people getting upset over putting ketchup on a hotdog. It’s a fucking hotdog, it’s completely insane to act like a snob over the condiments people put onto mystery meat.

        Man don’t even talk to me about the stupidity of the anti-ketchup cult, as if ketchup isn’t a brilliant condiment crafted through human iteration that literally traces over a thousand years to roots in ancient Roman garum and BCE Chinese fermented fish sauces! But yeah sure dude who has read 4 books in his life, tell me about how ketchup is “basic.”

        Pop culture opinions are so fucking stupid.

          Yeah, if you want to hang out with people who turn every instance of non-serious, light teasing into the something it obviously isn’t… but I wouldn’t. Those people are annoying as fuck and looking for any possible excuse to self-righteous douchebags.

          Do you have any idea what “punching down” means, whatsoever?

          Jesus fucking christ, you relentless blowhards turn everything into something it’s not. It’s a lighthearted joke about food preferences, who fuckin cares, you goddamn drama queens.

            Yeah let me be clear because that dude was wrong, I am not remotely offended by this dumb meme. I think it’s fucking lame and pointless, but that’s it. I’m calling people who upvote this shit idiotic sheep with awful taste, but I’m definitely not clutching any pearls.

    I mean… Maybe we shouldn’t jump to conclusions here? I’d give it a go lol

    Also, it looks like Philadelphia roll, so might actually go well together.

    I read that Europeans here for the World Cup are crazy for ranch dressing. Seems odd that they don’t already have it, given all the American junk food franchises over there.

      Apparently the Japanese have discovered American food and have lost their goddamn minds. Those poor bastards.

        There was a popular video not too long ago about British kids tasting American biscuits for the first time. I’m imagining something similar is happening to our Japanese friends.

      They have our franchises but they aren’t that popular for the most part. The American section of the grocery stores I’ve been to over there is like 1 shelf that’s half full of candy and potato chips. And that section only exists in the larger stores.

      Ranch dressing is basically sour cream and European culture is already high in sour cream, so

    Those “fancy” sushi at restaurants that have the orange sauce drizzled over them in a fancy pattern? That’s mostly mayo, which is in the same family as ranch. I wouldn’t do it, but it’s not as insane as it first appears.

    I live in Japan and don’t like ranch dressing. I still don’t have a problem with this, really. I think it would overpower the tastes of the ingredients since ranch has garlic, herbs, etc., but that’s their choice.

      You put the ginger on the sushi when you eat it?

      Is this a thing people do? I was under the impression that it was meant to be a pallette cleanser
