>>5659567
Let me guess, this is is from a Californian establishment?

>>5659567
>filled with vegetables

wtf is wrong with people just eat a fucking salad if you want to be healthy

>>5659567
Ew, what the fuck?

>exploring culinary boundaries and increasing nutrtional value of foods by replacing empty ingredients makes you a stupid snob
Because there's only one right way to make anything, and that's final.

>>5659586
using a shittier and more expensive product as a substitute for very little increase in nutrition.

>>5659594
There is a huge increase in nutritional value from short grain rice to quinoa which is less inflammatory, has less carbs, delivers more protein, and is lower on the GI

Also
>shittier
>expensive
Pick one

>>5659611
Consider suicide.

>>5659567
There's nothing wrong with quinoa. It's not traditional in sushi, but that doesn't mean it's bad. If anything, it's probably better from both taste AND nutritional standpoints, not to mention the contrast in colors is nice.

>>5659649
The problem is that if you use quinoa, then it is by definition NOT sushi. It's like calling a fish sandwich a hamburger.

>>5659574

Why does people eating vegetables without it being a salad bother you?

>>5659655
Who cares? People should be free to try new things all the time.

>>5659611
>implying carbs are bad
>inflammatory what the fuck people eat mountains of rice
>more protein okay sacrifice taste in a small amount of sushi quinoa that is rarely eaten

Wait, is this supposed to be a thread where we get mad at people who aren't eating junk food, because they make people who eat junk food feel bad?

>>5659655
Yeah you can have a fish burger, a turkey burger, etc. and replace other "traditional" parts of a hamburger and still keep it a burger. Fucking semantic obsessed faggots

>>5659655
Semantics. You know as well as anyone that general terms are just that. When someone asks a friend to go get some crunchy rolls and california rolls, they don't say "hey lets go get some rolls." It's ambiguous and confusing. They're going to say, "lets go get sushi," which could mean sashimi or proper sushi or rolls. The person they're talking to understands. If the quinoa is rolled and stuffed and presented in such a way that looks identical to regular rice rolls, then anyone selling it will rightfully refer to it as sushi. It's what the general consumer will understand. The stipulation of ingredients comes later.

>>5659660
Who said anything against trying new things?

>>5659666
A fish burger is not the same thing as a fish sandwich. Seems to me you're the one introducing ambiguity and confusion here.

>>5659667
See above for why maintaining reasonable distinctions is not sophistry. The word sushi literally refers to the seasoned rice. If you remove that rice altogether, it's not sushi. It's why if I don't want said rice, I order the sashimi plate instead of the sushi plate. Are you really this retarded? Would you think it reasonable if I sat down to eat, ordered a cheeseburger, and got upset because they put cheese on it?

>>5659693
You're autistic. Not in the general way 4chan overuses the term. You actually are. You're entirely incapable of accepting terms in a contextual manner. Your literal attitude is completely insane.

Somewhere in this thread is simplistic burger guy :^)

>>5659696
I want you to go to your nearest Irish pub, order a fish sandwich, and complain and call them autistic when they serve you a fried cod filet on a bun instead of a seasoned ground cod patty on a bun. Go ahead, and report back.

>>5659696
Autism doesn't exist. What you call an autist is a crystal child.

The Crystal children began to appear on the planet from about 1990-2010, although a few scouts came earlier. Their main purpose is to take us to the next level in our evolution and reveal to us our inner and higher power. They function as a group consciousness rather than as individuals, and they live by the “Law of One” or global oneness. They are also advocates for love and peace on this planet.

They are mostly born into the Gold Ray of Incarnation and Evolution, which means they have access to gifts of clairvoyance and healing. They are born on the sixth dimension of consciousness, with the potential to open up rapidly to the ninth dimensional level of full Christ consciousness, and then from there to the thirteenth dimension, which represents universal consciousness.

Crystal children’s auras aren’t specifically opalescent, but are octarine, which is a color that isn’t in the normal visual range of human eyes, but is the manifest color of high magic, and on another color octave entirely. They have beautiful pastel hues to them. To the untrained eye, it appears to be without color at all, therefore Crystal, but the extremely high frequency of the energy field is what gives it away.

The first thing you will recognize about Crystal children is their forgiving nature. They are very sensitive, warm, and caring. Don’t mistake these characteristics as a sign of weakness as Crystal children are also very powerful.

All burgers are sandwiches, not all sandwiches are burgers. Neither is synonymous with the other but the word sushi IS synonymous with the roll and preparation, even though it literally means rice. A simple clarification by referring to OP's pic as quinoa sushi should suffice
>example: chili with beans

Anyone too blinded by authenticty that can't look past semantics has proven themselves to be a self righteous snob

>>5659810
You are the only person in this thread to use the term "authenticity." Yet you want to talk about snobbery. Fuck off with your buzzwords.

>>5659655
>definition
>Sushi (すし, 寿司, 鮨?) is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice (鮨飯 sushi-meshi?) combined with other ingredients (ネタ neta?), seafood, vegetables and sometimes tropical fruits
>COMBINED WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS

There's rice in OP's pic, far more than there is quinoa. It's not a big deal to me, but it IS sushi by definition.

>>5659758

Im high as shit and reading that whole thing was knarly

>>5659834
>wikipedia
And out you go! Don't let the digital door hit your ass on the way.

>>5659823
>implying he who smelt it dealt it
>implying standard english = snobbery
>using "buzzword" while simultaneously ridiculing buzzwords

>>5659586
qinoa is a fad food with no taste.

>>5659874
It would be nice if it had no taste. Then I could easily sub it into anything. It has a dirt, earthy taste that overpowers most bases. Not a fan.

>>5659858
>implying he who smelt it dealt it
I'm implying you haven't even taken a whiff. You simply saw a sushi-related thread and decided to chuck in the A-word.

>>5659886
Are you sure you're not eating dirt? It tastes like boiled peanuts to me.

>>5659904
Nah, I've tried a couple different brands. I dunno, maybe it's like cilantro. Some people taste one thing while others are repulsed by a different flavor?

That "sushi" looks disgusting.

>brother is a bit weeabo
>get some local asian take out
>'this isn't authentic anon'

>>5659902
There's been a lot of dancing around the "a-word" throughout this thread. I was just the first to type it outright. If it's not about that then would you be so kind to explain the real reason quinoa in sushi is such a big deal?

>>5659886
I hate quinoa cold, but warmed, I find it a good replacement for rice when paired with meat dishes.

>>5659663
>carbs
The average person would be wise to at least have an idea of which kind of carb they're consuming and how much. White rice is a simple carb, quinoa complex. And since both rice and quinoa are usually served to accomodate other foods that usually conatin more carbs, quinoa is usually a smarter choice

>mountains of rice
People eat valleys of pasta too, what's you're point? In countries where rice is a staple it's usually served alongside more nutrtious, anti-inflammatory foods. White rice by isn't all that healthy

>???
That looks like an opinion, but even outside the realm of sushi, quinoa wins pound for pound nutritionally

>>5659933
Only if you can't read. The question was never "what is authentic or inauthentic sushi" but whether words mean anything at all. If you replace the sushi with quinoa, then it isn't even linguistically sushi. Much in the same way that a hamburger without a ground meat (or meat substitute) patty isn't a hamburger.

What you did, was say to yourself, "hey, it's a sushi thread with people disagreeing. Let me not read the thread and instead use that fucking buzzword because all sushi threads are about 'authenticity,' whatever the fuck that means."

Saying that a diamond is not a bacon strip is not analogous to saying, for instance, that a spicy meat stew with beans is not "authentic" chili.

>>5659567
Did you taste the sushi though, OP? What if it's actually good?

>>5659720
Is it me or you?

Jesus christ, this entire thread. Does it really matter? It's a different take on a sushi roll, nobody is going to call it some different term because it isn't traditional, nobody cares, they're going to call it for what it is. Go set several bowls of different salads on a table and ask people what it is, do you think they're going to not say "salads" and name every single one? Try it again with a bunch of rolls, and one with quinoa, ask again. They're going to call them all sushi rolls, because nobody cares about semantics.

>>5660295
If you put a bowl of cheesy grits on the table next to them, they should also call it salad. Because, you know, all a salad really is is just things mixed together in a bowl.

Hey guys! Check out this bitchin' sushi I made!

>>5660336
And this is the sushi I made last week. Probably my best yet.

>>5660339
And here's my low-carb sushi I made for my 10/10 GF. You like?

>>5660343
What all did you put in this, anon? If you're not trolling, those actually look kind of good.

>>5660343
And here's my tulpa's favorite sushi.

>>5659574

why is that better?

>>5660343
I totally just got it from a google image search, but according to the website (and my eyeballs) that's red cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and zucchini. She made a sauce out of tahini, chili powder, lemon and miso, which I think actually wouldn't work too well with the Arab-style sauce, but whatever. It does look pretty good though and a friend just gave me a bunch of zucchini and squash from his garden so I'm thinking of trying something like this myself.

>>5660356
Fuck, that was for >>5660347

God, this thread is retarded.

>>5660359
>>5660356
I don't know why I assumed the picture was yours. Thank you!

probably because he said it was

>It's soda, but instead of carbonated water, I used spring water
>and instead of syrup, I just used lemon juice
>and it's practically no calories, WOW

>>5660392
I also said it was sushi.

>>5660396
youre still a fucking liar

>>5660398
Jumpin' Jesuits! How did you work it out?

>>5660356

>which I think actually wouldn't work too well with the Arab-style sauce

any reason apart from the fact that it's not 'arab'

>>5660404
Has nothing to do with the origin, just the flavors. It's a hunch. Might be I try it and I'm pleasantly surprised. But way to jump to conclusions there, buddy.

>>5660400
The Gesserits told me.

>>5660414
Why haven't we discovered Spice yet? I want to try it so bad.

>>5660406

so no reason

>>5660419
I've never had miso with lemon or sesame before, but I've had miso and I've had Arab concoctions with tahini and lemon before, and I suspect they wouldn't go together. If that's no reason to you, then take it as no reason. But thank you so much for your informative and insightful contribution. Please do more of it.

There's that buzzword 'buzzword' again

>isn't even linguistically sushi
ffs even Led Zeppelin understood that sometimes words have two meanings. And they had access to way better drugs than yours.

Sushi can also mean the way the food is prepared/presented/whatever. If you refuse to acknowledge that over authentic semantics, fine. Meanwhile, the rest of the world -save the spergs- will continue and won't raise an eyebrow when ground chicken is presented as a burger, or when a lasagna is made without noodles, if chili contains beans, or if sometimes sushi is prepared without rice

>>5660448
>or if sometimes sushi is prepared without rice
>or if rice is prepared without rice
Also you didn't read the thread. Chicken burgers and chili with beans have already been addressed.

>>5660452
so it has
>if sometimes hummus is made without chickpeas*
fixed it

>>5660468
Yeah, I make my hummus with eggplant instead of chickpeas. BUT IT'S STILL HUMMUS! If you call it mutabbal you're an autist obsessed with semantics.

I go to the kosher deli to get my Reubens.

What do you mean it's not a kosher deli? That's semantics!

>>5660476
Roasted cauliflower hummus is pretty good. I'll have to try eggplant sometime.

>>5660398
see >>5660359 second paragraph

>>5660476
>>5660468
>made without chickpeas
>BUT IT'S STILL HUMMUS!
Except that hummus is literally, linguistically, the arabic word for chickpea

I thought this was a board about cooking, boy was I wrong...

>>5660633
Semantics! Autism! Buzzwords!

You can't possibly be right! I can call it hummus if I want to! Everyone at my school cafeteria would call that hummus if you put it in a bowl on the table!

>>5660640
Yeah don't expect much, just go shitpost the vegan thread, it seems to be a fun hobby of most. That or try and actually learn some recipes but that can go south quick

>>5660640
>>5660729
Maybe if you try posting a thread with actual content? Nah, just sit there and complain that we're not spoonfeeding you recipes.

I think white sushi rice has a more neutral taste which helps focus on the other ingredients more.

I have tried brown rice sushi. It was good, but it does have a stronger taste and may not work well with everything. Works well with shitaki mushrooms.

>>5659758
Ha. Kinda sounds like an idea I had for a story. Though more with experiments in utero. Also a bit like Childhood's End.

>>5660769
I agree totally. Brown rice sushi never made much sense to me anyway. But when you think that it's a food that's all about balance, the flavor of the brown rice does seem to throw everything off for me.

>>5660785
>>5659758
Holy shit. There is a cult with websites that actually belives this shit. I thought it was a crappy sci fi story.

this whole thread is full of whiny bitches

Thanks for whining!

>bashing water
>guarenteed replies

my favorite little gay things people bitch about are usually with pizza.
>Dats not Nuuuu Yuuuooork pizza!
>real Nuuuu Yuuuoork pizza is like this and u hav ta FOLD it like dis!
Fuck everyone from new york.
And its never "real" New York/or Chicago pizza either. Its never good enough unless you were at the specific place they are droning on about.

To lesser degrees
>this isnt real (x) bbq
>this isnt real ramen
and so on, but these gripes are normally way less obnoxious.

It grinds my gears so fucking bad when someone asks you how you cooked something/ingredients you used, then proceed to critique everything you used like youre an idiot.
>you use /ricotta/ cheese??
>really?
>REALLY??
yes thats what I was using, fuck off.

>>5661687
I think he is bashing those who brag about drinking water, in which I side with him, as a person who consumes ludicrous amounts of water, because I like water, literally no other reason

>>5661280
Why would anyone make a pizza base like that

A regular pizza dough is already vegan isn't it?

>>5659834
I think your problem is a failure to reconcile that the meaning of words change. Your real problem is with change. I doubt this is localized to just food in your case.
