I agree with the sentiment, but I can actually understand how someone who has never eaten food like sushi would find it hard to eat just because the textures and flavors of sushi are so different from western food.
I use to eat sushi all the time. I only picked candy because back in 2012 I ended up eating some bad sushi causing me to spend the next 36 hours within feet of my bathroom. I’ve tried it again multiple times at multiple different places over the past couple years and still can’t get over the texture no matter how much I want to like it again.
How about I don’t like seafood and I like candy, so I picked candy?
One of the most privileged statements made on Up.
Candy wins for me bc of the diversity. Could probably have something different every day for a year. Sushi would get tired very quickly

I didn’t really want to vote for this one and I actually hope sushi wins but I made an honest selection because candy is one of those things that is nice to eat an incidental piece of once in a while whereas sushi is like something that I actually have to plan to have as a meal. I prefer to keep the convenience of eating a couple of reese’s peanut butter cups when they’re widely available versus one of my favorite meals that I only eat occasionally.
I ate sushi for the first time at a semi crappy Chinese buffett in my early 20’s. To find candy better than that sushi you’d have to spend a pretty hilarious amount of money.
Plus candy is straight up terrible for you… and since we live in the US the hidden dental costs are no joke. Trust me, paying for my wife’s multiple root canals added up… and yes having enough money to have them done is a privilege. But with tooth decay it’s either excruciating physical pain or excruciating wallet pain. I strongly suspect candy causes actual negative happiness for every bite you take between empty calories that just make you crave more and dental costs be they physical or financial.
Ok, mom.

Those dental bills scarred me for fucking life lol.
How much does a serving of sushi cost? Paying per bite for fancy food is totally privileged.
At my local sushi place the lunch special is two rolls for 9.99 or three for 13.99. Kinda pricey for lunch but not too bad.

This one is weird for me.
I only had Indian curries a few times in my life and they were underwhelming/nothing special. Should I keep looking for a good curry? It should have a higher ceiling than ramen. Or should I stick with ramen which I always have at homre for an easy late night snack?

Pasta beats Cookies 33:4
Homemade curry is better than restaurant curry, with practice. One game changer on indian curry is that it is orders of magnitude better if you use freshly ground, fresh spices. Like most people if you make indian food occasionally (like me) you’re using 3 month old ground spices from the supermarket. That’s fine, but if you use fresh spices from a real indian market and grind them right before cooking it’s quite different.
The spices are part of the problem for me. I don’t like cumin, cinnamon or nut meg for example.
I’m not sure anyone like to eat a teaspoon of any of those things in isolation. The end product of a good curry is a mix of flavors so I think it’s pretty rare to take a bite of curry and get, for example, an overwhelming cumin flavor.
