Japan putting ketchup on spaghetti: "Hold my sake."

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Meanwhile, Korea is doing crimes by adding corn and/or potatoes on their pizza.

Japan doesn't do potatoes but corn on pizza is popular. I'm willing to tolerate a lot of different toppings but for some reason corn just seems wrong to me

My local pizza place (in Japan) puts corn on pineapple pizza.

I might be a degenerate that enjoys pineapple on pizza, but corn is a strong no

What other condiment can you put on there? Mayonaisse?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

I mean, I've seen plenty of Brazilians doing that for years, too.

What? Putting ketchup on spaghetti is 100% normal everywhere...

[-] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 10 points 1 day ago

Absolutely not. Granted, my country is right next to Italy, but I've only ever heard about spaghetti with ketchup on the internet, from people from other countries.

Interesting... t is extremely normal in all the Scandinavian countries, and I've encountered it a lot in Germany and Netherlands as well. I never thought it was considered strange. I ate it a lot as a kid 30 years ago.

Funnily I also haven't heard much good about Scandinavian cuisine

Would've expected more from Germany though. On the other hand, they do eat Schnitzel mit Tunke...

Schnitzel is a Swiss thing that the Germans adopted (and did not improve).

Funnily I also haven't heard much good about Scandinavian cuisine

Some very famous Michelin restaurants in Europe are based on Scandinavian cuisine...Noma and The alchemist come to mind

I grew up with a lot of Italian cooking and when I first went to Japan I saw a small pile of spaghetti in one of the bento lunch boxes covered with what I thought was marinara sauce. When I ate it and it turned out to be ketchup I almost spit it on the floor in shock.
