I like spam musubi so this doesn’t look completely terrible – a little heavy handed on the ketchup and mustard maybe

[–] MacNCheezus 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I agree that it's probably less of an offense against nutrition and more against tradition.

Bastard Cookbook, Antto Melasniemi and Rirkrit Tiravanija (2019)

Pad Thai with macaroni sounds legit (unless you are gluten intolerant).

Curry Pizza has lowkey been a thing for years already. In Sweden they'll also put bananas on it and it's basically a national dish.

I've also had burritos filled with tikka masala and chickpea curry instead of meat, rice and beans.

Chicken tikka masala pizza 🤤

Just this one chain has nine locations in California:

We have a Welsh friend who makes "WeLsh Lasagne"...basically Lasagne with curry.

Italians feel a disturbance in the force every time he makes it...

[–] MacNCheezus 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I tried to google this but it doesn't seem to be a "thing", all I found was this recipe which is basically regular lasagna, just made with Welsh beef and cheese, so perhaps this is your friend's own creation?

It doesn't sound repugnant but I require more details. What exactly is in it?

Years ago I was on a school trip in Wales and they fed us Bolognese with mutton instead of beef. This didn't work out too well – at least half of the class ended up praying to the porcelain god that night.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah it's definitely his own creation...he cooks very well but then again is Welsh (beans on toast, pasties cooked via sunlight they are so pale) so curry makes things exotic.

[–] MacNCheezus 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Okay, still need some more details if you please... what kind of curry? What kind of meat? What else is in there I might not expect?

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sorry to be vague, but that's just it. Regular ol Lasagne with curry powder.

[–] MacNCheezus 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Does the curry powder go in the bolognese or the béchamel?

Probably doesn't matter, sounds like a crime either way. Curried béchamel would probably even be kinda good, but I wouldn't pair it with bolognese.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's with the ground beef boloñesa.

Funny thing, I've never used béchamel in Lasagne before moving to the EU, it was always ricotta with garlic, basil and egg beaten into it, with a splrinkle of shredded mozzarella on the layer.

[–] MacNCheezus 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, American lasagna is slightly different in that regard. Perhaps they burned the béchamel one too many times.

Also, I'll pass on the curry bolognese. I might be convinced to give this one a try, however.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago

haard pass, ill just have a curry!

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Throw in some hummus and use naan or pita instead of a tortilla and I’m in. (I make these at home because my wife’s not a big falafel fan.

[–] MacNCheezus 1 points 5 months ago

You might want to look into making dosas, sounds like they'd be right up your alley.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I’m constantly offended by excessive condiments on everything. One of the worst I’ve seen is Shawarma poutine (here in Canada). Look, you can’t even see the fries!

[–] Muscar@discuss.online 9 points 5 months ago

I don't see the issue with excessive condiments, just eat however much you want and they don't suck as much when saved till later (just add more fries or whatever else). Way better than too little, which is more common.

[–] pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 5 months ago

Sigh. Thanks for giving me a new craving that’s gonna be hard to satisfy.

[–] MacNCheezus 3 points 5 months ago

That reminds me of a hilarious Instagram video I saw the other day, but of course I can't find it again now.

This looks delicious

[–] MacNCheezus 6 points 5 months ago

Now that would make it a proper crime.

[–] ghostblackout@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Is that a fucking Sushi dog

[–] MacNCheezus 4 points 5 months ago

Yes Watson, that does indeed appear to be the case.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Raw dogging as its known.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And Belgium is like: "Choose the cultural appropriation to spray over your fries"

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Well, France stole the fries. Seems fair to me.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This causes me fear and arousal.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Honestly I can't tell if this would be objectively okay or not.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's tough, the 9nly thing off is the rice but I'm not sure rice is good with ketchup

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Heavily depends on what else you're adding to the rice, but it's not bad.

My question about this strange combination is how are you supposed to eat it? As soon as you cut the hotdog, all the rice is gonna be pushed to the sides, meaning you're gonna have to reassemble it after it's essentially turned into a very strange stir-fry.

If you want to lay the hotdog on top like that, I think it'd be better pre-chopped, so you can grab a forkful of everything.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Come on, instead of rice it should have been a puffed rice marshmallow treat.

[–] BraveSentry@feddit.de 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I want sushi!

We have sushi at home.

Hackepeterbrötchen!

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This looks like shit until you view it through the eyes of a seven year old. My kid would lose it for this.

[–] MacNCheezus 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you know what to do then.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Too much work, he'll lose it for a regular hot dog too

[–] MacNCheezus 2 points 5 months ago

Haha alright then

[–] quilan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think I'd actually be down to try this, with a little bit lighter condiments.

[–] MacNCheezus 2 points 5 months ago

Hey, it's a free country! Knock yourself out.

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

so what's Australian sushi then

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I've known this as "redneck sushi."
