/ck/ - Food & Cooking

sushi also usually has vegetables

>>4629063
For nigiri sushi, yeah.

Sushi as a whole includes a lot of stuff dude.

>>4629080

But its effectively the same cuts of fish?

>>4629080
>sushi usually has vegetables
Wrong.
>For ordinary circumstances, is the only difference between "sushi" and "sashimi" the rice?
Correct

Sashimi is always raw and sushi is sometimes cooked.

"sushi" is the presentation. "sashimi" is raw seafood. It's kind of like "BBQ" explains the genre, and "Baby Back Ribs", explains the actual dish. BTW, "sushi" does not have to be raw.

>>4629154
>>4629143
Both wrong. See above post.

>>4629168
How exactly is >>4629154 wrong?

>>4629174
Because "sushi" is "sashimi". Sushi can be raw or cooked, again, the word "sushi" is NOT a name of a food, it is the name of the style of food and how it is prepared. "Sashimi" is a style of sushi that is served raw. The rice has nothing to do with it.

>>4629188
>sushi
>rice have nothing to do with it

Sushi is the vinegared rice.

>>4629188
And where did that part state anything other than:
Sashimi its always raw
Sushi is sometimes cooked?

>>4629201
No, sushi is the presentation of the dish, it has nothing to do with rice.
>>4629206
Because you are mistakingly calling sushi a specific food. Once again, SUSHI is a description of hos the food was prepared. SASHIMI is a dish of SUSHI that refers to raw fish or seafood.

>>4629225
He thinks sashimi is sushi. LET'S POINT AT HIM AND LAUGH!

>>4629232
Yes, sashimi IS sushi, it is the raw STYLE of sushi. Sushi is the descriptive, not the food. It's hard trying to translate from Japanese. Maybe this will help: Sushi is a style of food like "Italian" or "BBQ", or "Chinese", or "Mexican". In a sentence it would be "let's go out for sushi, where we can have some sashimi." Sushi being the style of food, and sashimi being the specific dish of raw seafood.

look at the autist and laugh

Yes, sushi is always served with sushi rice, sashimi is served on its own sometimes with a garnish

>>4629255
Sushi is the name of the dish, sashimi isn't a kind of sushi it's just sashimi. Futomaki is a kind of sushi

>>4629276
Correct.

>>4629279
I agree that you are wrong.

>>4629271
Sushi is always served with rice in the same way that BBQ is always served with sauce. Sashimi is a form of sushi that is served raw.

>>4629285
>BBQ is always served with sauce.

wut. Not only is this retard wrong about Japanese food but he's wrong about BBQ too.

>>4629283
You are entitled to your opinion. Do you speak Japanese?

>>4629292
いいえ

>>4629289
I was using the well understood analogy to explain the difference between "sushi" and "sashimi".

>>4629295
Yes, we can all agree that sushi is always served with sushi rice hence the reason why it is called sushi.

>>4629299
There is no "always" in Japanese cuisine.

>>4629293
That is a poor translation of the word "no".

>>4629309
Let's hear you say some Japanese phrases.

>>4629316
"mushi-mushi"

>>4629322
Nice trolling there, Sashimi Is Sushi, faggot.

>>4629329
You are correct, sashimi is a style of sushi. No trolling here

For all intensive purposes, yes.

>>4629344
>You are correct, sashimi is a style of sushi. No trolling here
lol nope

>>4629063
>read this op
Sushi literally means 'vinegar rice'
Sashimi means 'raw fish'
Four years in japanese class and its finally paying off

Just look here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi

>>4629095

In that sense, pretty much. That's why sushi restaurants where I live tell people that they have to eat the rice too.

>>4629469
>for all intensive purposes
"For all intents and purposes" sounds a little better, don't you think?

>>4629834
I could care less.

>>4629834
posts like his are a diamond dozen, amirite?

>>4629862
OK anon, you got me there
top lel

>>4629834
I think it sounds most right most all the time.

>>4629255

> Sushi is a style of food like "Italian" or "BBQ", or "Chinese", or "Mexican"

No, that style would be "Japanese"

If you get more specific of what type of "Japanese" food you want, you may say noodles, you may say tempura, or you may say "sushi," in which cause you're talking about a dish made of vinegared rice, likely some seaweed sheets, and some kind of topping or filling

Don't fuck with me, I've seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi

>>4629312
あなたは絶対に日本語でしゃべらない。

eh
sashimi is a subcategory of sushi. Taking the rice out of nigiri doesn't magically make it not sushi

>>4630292
Just like making chili without chili peppers doesn't mean it's no longer chili.

>>4630646
>inb4 a thread about sushi gets derailed into whether chili should have beans in it or not.

Sushi refers to the vinegared rice, and is the only essential piece of sushi.

Sashimi is NOT sushi, and refers only to thinly sliced meat or fish. Sashimi does not have rice. This is why it is not sushi.

There are all sorts of kinds of sushi. There is Nigiri, which is what is in OP's picture, which is just sushi rice, pressed into a rectangle, with sashimi pressed on top, often with wasabi in between.

There are also various rolls, called Makizushi, which is a piece of nori, filled with sushi rice and other ingredients, that is rolled up and cut into pieces.

>>4629860

Just so that you're not teaching poor impressionable anonymous incorrect usage of idioms.

>>4631789

>it's incorrect because I don't understand it

When someone says "I could care less," they're utilizing a language skill called sarcasm. Basically the situation would be someone is explaining something to a person, usually in desperation, and then that person challenges them with "I could care less," as if to say "keep explaining your dilemma, as every sentence you utter makes me care less for your plight"

>>4631837
That use of a phrase would have an accompanying verbal intonation indicative of its facetious nature. When most people say it, they're just stupid.

>>4631837
No, for all intents and purposes they are retarded and parroting a saying incorrectly.

>>4631899

>for all intensive purposes

>>4629063

"Sushi" is an all encompassing term, inluding everything including Nigiri, Sashimi, rolls, etc.

Nigiri is the regular sushi - the rice with raw fish on top. Nigiri is also sushi, obviously.

Sashimi is also sushi, obviously. It's just like nigiri but without the rice.

This is the worst thread.

>I couldn't care less.

Well what if we are talking about (say) one's child's education. I can not care less about my child's education, because caring less than I already do would be irresponsible and detrimental to his future.

>>4631837
>they're utilizing a language skill called sarcasm

no darling, they just do not know any better...

>>4629276
I thought futomaki was a kind of maki, but maki may be a kind of sushi ? Am i wrong ?

>>4631595

Okay so the things in the OP are both sushi and sashimi.

If you only have the rice and vegetables, it's still sushi.

If you only have the fish, you it's sashimi.

If you have both, you can call it either way.

>>4631837
Did you expect your pedantic choice of words to distract us from your run on sentence?

>>4632371
Maki refers to 'sushi rolls'.
Futomaki is the one with the seaweed on the outside, and uramaki are the 'inside-out' rolls with rice on the outside.

Sushi is for low life plebeians that have no idea of the wonders of actual food and not fish bait.

>>4632158
No it is not. You are wrong. Sashimi is not Sushi, because it does not use Sushi rice, the essential ingredient in sushi, where it gets it's namesake. That's like me giving you a sandwich, and you realizing it's just some lunch meat with mayo and cheese. Thats not a sandwich.
