Japan is so boring. Why does this random shitty island in the middle of the pacific draw so many weirdos and autists out of the woodwork and not Russia or China or something. I’ve met russophiles and sinophiles who are just as passionate about their misplaced obsessions as the ugliest, smelliest cargo shorts and Hatsune Miku tee-shirt wearing weeaboo, but it’s just not the same. It doesn’t reach the embarrassing heights of obsession or put the ugliest parts of human psyche on display in the same way

No dumbass

Then what is?

>>16074748
why does there need to be a japanese equivalent of bacon faggot

>>16074711
It is the anime. Weebs base their opinions on Japan on fictional cartoons, which is super cringe.

Google Japanese bacon, faggot
>In Japan, bacon (ベーコン) is pronounced "bēkon". It is cured and smoked belly meat as in the US, and is sold in either regular or half-length sizes. Bacon in Japan is different from that in the US in that the meat is not sold raw, but is processed, precooked and has a ham-like consistency when cooked.

>>16075932
What does precooked mean in this context exactly since apparently you still cook it?

>>16074782
This. The Japanese equivalent of sliced porkbelly is sliced porkbelly.

>>16076046
Same way people “cook” spam and ‘turkey bacon’.
You can eat them both right out of the package, but throwing it in a pan for a minute will make it hot and crispier.

They have bacon in Japan too, it's just not nearly as popular as it is in the West.
t. lived in Sapporo, wouldn't recommend
