I refuse to believe that salmon sushi is younger than me.
Never mind that – it was invented in Norway?!
Without looking it up, I believe it was because they were producing so much salmon and looking for ways to make it more popular.
I recall watching a YouTube deep dive on it and basically it was debunked. It’s raw fish, people have been eating it on sushi rice since fish and rice existed. But Norway did push it heavily in the 80’s.
It might have been that Andong guy…
But what about the whole “Japanese salmon is not really edible” thing?
I’m unfamiliar…
People in Japan did not eat salmon sushi because it was considered unsafe. The type of salmon caught by Japanese fishermen is not fit for raw consumption. That’s why salmon sushi only got popular when Norwegian companies exported the fish.
If chicken tikka masala has the UK flag and not the Indian one, then nachos should have the US flag, as it was invented in the US (by a Mexican cook named Ignazio, or “Nacho”)
Ignacio varga?! Kidding. But that explains the nickname. Or is it like dick and richard ? Altho…now that I think about it, nacio and nacho aren’t that far away, so it probably precedes the whole thing. Either way, Cool.
