I understand your point. Except for when it's long-established spelling within the co-opting language. Yiros/Gyros each have some legitimacy, but it's not like it's a free-for-all for spelling on anglicized words.

in germany it is just pizza with the kebab meat (and if you want sauce), no salad

i always thought adding the salad ingredients on top would be nice

Reply to comment by afallan in [I ate] Swedish kebab pizza by Dackeboi

Kebap Pizza can also be really shitty. I think the idea is good, but you also need a chef who knows what hes doing. The meat often gets dry, the Pizza base is shitty, or other factors go downhill. Id say 30% of kebap Pizzas ive eaten were actually good.

>this is not real Japan sushi go to hell

Sorry, old drunk and rambly ahahaha

Nope there are tons of places in Japan that sell sushi a Pole would recognise and like. There are also tons of places that do traditional as well (often cheaper or a zillion times more expensive).

My Polish wifes favourite sushi was at a place that I would say was on the questionable level of traditional. Lots of mayo.

But like I say Japan is a food culture and food cultures do tend towards "it tastes good so it's a good idea"

In Japanese foreign words are often in a different alphabet and an awful lot of restaurants menus are almost purely in that alphabet.

In my experience people in Japan doing traditional stuff in any "this is a belief" rather than "nah it's just how I know to do it" (and I am one of the traditional people, it's why I went there) tend to be a little bit out of the ordinary. Mostly people are just doing what they do to get by.

The cultural appropriation thing which you -might- be thinking of doesn't really exist as far as I am aware (white guy, some 15 odd dans in traditional martial arts, bugger all japanese language skills). Everyone I know is super happy foreigners are even interested in Japanese stuff.

They -might- give guidance on how to make it properly when they eat TanTanmen in Warsaw ahahaha but probably they wouldn't.
