If an american was angry because he was eating at an omakase restaurant this is what I would say (minus the fancy words and plus a few choice words that aren't okay for a school essay): Dude you're an actual anathema and here's why. You walked into an omakase restaurant and that means trust the chef, you let him choose what you eat, you don't. A veritable sushi chef chooses your food for you. You had the temerity, the chutzpah, to demand your food. This isn't a Mcdonalds, there is no akin between a fast food restaurant and a traditional sushi restaurant. You acted like the chef was a despot for getting to choose your food but for them it's almost like a tradition. Though technically sushi chefs are kind of an autocrat, just not in a bad way. Some people dedicate their life to mastering sushi, even though they never will, and you as a …show more content…
domineering ignorant american can't go into a restaurant and be so stupid and get mad at a chef for doing what he dedicated his life to. American Sushi may be ubiquitous, but true sushi is not. You (wrongly) had an enmity towards traditional sushi. Before you go into a restaurant that serves food with like 2 thousand years of culture behind it, you should do your research. You’re such a frickin idiot. Probably a much more effective way: Listen, listen, listen, I know you think you’re right and the chef was wrong but you shouldn't just walk into an omakase and demand for food.
Omakase means trust the chef, he chooses your food for you. I know that may seem weird to you, but it isn't your restaurant, and sushi has so much culture behind. By you doing that you're disrespecting the chef. Imagine you're cooking a really old family recipe for your friend and they want to change it or ask for something else, you would definitely be offended too. On top of that if they got mad at you for not changing or making something else, imagine how infuriating that would be. You're doing the same thing to that chef, it's a similar concept just different cultures. American sushi is everywhere, but true traditional sushi, is hard to find and that's just one of the reason why sushi is so special. Another reason is that some chefs dedicate their whole life to trying to master sushi, you just can't disrespect someone like that. I understand that you didn't know, but next time you should take just a little bit of time and do your research
beforehand.
In Lavanya Ramanathan’s Washington Post article published in 2015 titled “Why everyone should stop calling immigrant food ‘ethnic’”, she discusses about people’s preconceptions on the type of food that should be labelled ethnic. Ashlie Stevens also touched on a similar topic in her Guardian article published in 2015 titled “Stop thinking and just eat: when ‘food adventuring’ trivializes culture”. She talks about how people assume that just by eating food from a certain culture, they are able relate to the culture as a whole. Both authors acknowledge the importance of appreciating authentic cuisines, but takes different approaches to convince the audience. Both authors establish credibility by using a wide range of substantiated evidences. While,

The Olmec’s buildings and tools were designed to make their everyday lives easier and more laid back. The Olmec had many Stone-Age tools they used in work and everyday life. Their tools were usually made of clay, stone, deer antlers, bone, or wood. They had basic tools such as hammers, wedges, mortar-and-pestles, and corn grinders. They used pottery to make pots, vessels, and cooking utensils that they utilized for home tasks as well as cooking.The tools were important to them because they used them to advance their empire. They are located towards the front of the exhibit, on the west side of the temple, set out on miniature tables. They had simple homes made of dirt, that were packed around wooden
At the start of the semester, my oblivious state of nature associating with the Chinese culture reached an unacceptable level. Implementing a necessary change, I decided to educate myself on different cultures starting with China. I failed to ponder that such a rich, deep culture existed outside America. Encompassed by this country’s unique yet suffocating melting pot culture, my outlook believed ideas such as uniformity between American Chinese food and Authentic Chinese food. After this course, my bigot perspective widened as I witnessed diversity in the world. Before this class, when I thought of Chinese food, my connotation jumped to thoughts associated with chop suey, but as I progressed my education, my mindset gradually pondered foods like steamed buns or “New Year Cakes” with authentic Chinese food.
People inhabiting the Aleutian Islands, other Islands in Bering Sea, and parts of western Alaska were called Aleuts. Many Aleut men departed their homes for lands beyond the horizon. They began their journey on June 1, 1775, they all got on the St. Paul and returned to Siberia. Two Aleut men wanted to travel home instead of going to the Russia cities, but their determination to get to the land was at high. They traveled for months across mountains, through forests, and across icy fields. A treaty in 1727 ensured that trade go through Kyakhta or Tsurkhaitu first. Kyakhta had some houses from wealthy merchants. The Russians had valuable medicinal properties. In exchange, the Russian vessels visited the archipelago to gather furs. A year later,
Over the years, many scientists and archeologists have traveled the world in search of more clues about our past. Among those found was the preserved mummy of a Neolithic man buried in ice. Otzi, a name the mummy earned from the Otztal Alps where he was unearthed, was dated to have lived over 5300 years ago. From the moment of discovery, the Iceman served as a subject of study that pushed back much of what we predicted the human timeline to be. This included the copper age, agriculture, as well as complex crafting of clothing and utilities. Until more recent studies were done it was assumed that Otzi had died at the hands of natural causes such as freezing in a storm. This, however, was proven wrong when further investigation shows that Otzi had died of a more aggressive cause of death. So why was Otzi killed on the high mountain tops of the Otztal Alps? My goal in this paper is to prove why the Iceman was murdered all those years ago.
The symbolism and imagery used in the short stories paints a vivid picture into the author’s train of thought. Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Shirley Jackson were not normal writers. The stories are a form of gothic writing. This paper will be analyzing the point of view, symbolism, and setting in the stories The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.
No matter where you go, there is a high chance that you will meet an illegal resident of that country. Even with today's high security, many people still cross America’s border without the correct paperwork. When they come over, they face similar obstacles that former Okies had to deal with. “Okie” is a term used to describe the people from Oklahoma, and usually has a negative connotation. These obstacles include: being persecuted and struggling with daily life, but with these come some minor differences.
“Don’t Blame the Eater” is an article by David Zinczenko that explains to Americans, specifically overweight young Americans, about the risks eating at fast food restaurants and its cause of affecting one’s health. In his article, he tries to address the issue about America’s food industries by using literal devices such as tone, logos, ethos, diction, and organization in order to spread his message. He begins his article by addressing the topic and as he continues writing, he supports his topic by writing about personal experience and moves onto the reasons why his topic in a serious issue. Although he shows an overall clear progress, he does tend to have a few problems with his writing that could be improved.
Fast food is one of the most controversial topics; most people tend to blame fast food industries because of their obesity or a disease they got, and never hold responsibility for their own action.
The United States of America, a country where anyone can become anything he or she wants to be. It is even given the phrase “Land of opportunity.” This is one of the reasons people from different parts of the world choose to immigrate to the United States. Immigrants do not immigrate alone, but bring their cultures with them. One of the representatives of culture is food, and with the vast amount of immigrants, the vast amount of ethnic restaurants are introduced. Beneficial things happened with the rise of ethnic restaurants, they serve as a doorway to introduce different cultures and they improve the country’s economy. Some people disagree and believe that ethnic restaurants are a problem. That they lead to cultural separation because it

When entering a restaurant, I usually expect to leave full, satisfied, and wanting to come back again. I believe that many people expect the same thing. The way people react to service can be very different from person to person. Depending on the way the customers are feeling, or the way that the server is feeling can be a big factor for the way service comes across. Service is an important part of everyone’s lives because majority of the jobs that people preform are service related. Poor service is an unfortunate part of life that everyone comes across. The way that I react to the poor service I receive is important and can change in the blink of an eye. Whether I react in an outspoken way, by getting loud and voicing my opinion. Or if I react in a quiet or apologetic way, it can affect my server, and the people around me, and myself.
Wasabi is the place in Edwardsville if you’re ever thinking about getting sushi. By stepping out of my comfort zone, I actually enjoyed the sushi. I learned that I should always have an open mind when trying new things, whether it’s food or going to a different country. I succeeded in overcoming ethnocentrism when walking into Wasabi. I thought the restaurant would be full of Japanese employees, but that wasn’t the case. A majority of the employees were not Japanese, but
