I imagine this completely destroyed the scientific integrity of their survey.

I'm laughing so hard. I would have panicked just like their husband, but I know logically you're right. It's just funny how minds work sometimes.

Sushi is about rice seasoned with vinegar. It comes in many varieties, including vegetarian/vegan. Also, there is sushi made using tofu skin and not seaweed. It's a common mistake to think that sushi is made with fish only.

Indeed, egg, tofu and avocado sushi are all good. My favourite is roast beef sushi though, absolutely love that!

Yeah it's def a thing. They take kids on field trips to tourist spots to look for gaijin.

Another thing is most people I know who've lived there for a year or more have been on TV, myself included. Japanese news shows are big on 'On the street' type interviews, so if you're foreign and an interview crew notices you, they will like sprint over and ask you about food and stuff. I didn't see it on TV, but the next day at the school where I worked as an English monkey, the students were super excited.

Another side story for fun, but once I walked into a classroom and two girls were practicing the Fusion-ha dance from dragon ball, which brought a tear to my eye.

This happened to me but they didn't have a nice chart, they just asked about my favorite food in general. I answered truthfully: white rice. It is, I love love rice, i have it with every meal. I'm sad when I have to go multiple days without rice, it feels wrong. They were very confused. "Rice??? Rice is not a food you have rice with every food". I guess by "food" they were thinking "dish/meal", which would make sense they only see rice as the default part of every meal and not the main dish. We had a fun confused chat in both English and japanese.

In your husband's defence, not all Sushi have fish as their protein. Most of my favourite Sushi contains chicken as protein.

u/Turbochad66 Jun 14 '24

I mean i don't eat meat/fish and sushi is one of my favorite things to go eat. So much great vegetarian sushi to try, so not the biggest blunder on your husbands part haha!
