I cooked in a total of 3 bar restraunts in my time and to this day I still love cooking, sometimes I post recipes in my diary and I am wondering, what are some na/euro dishes that japanese people enjoy ? also how easy is it to find western ingrediants or food in japan ?
Obviously western fast food restraunts exist there and although some do taste good, there is nothing like old fashioned cooking ( which is much more healthy for the record ).
I was thinking maybe if people are interested in world food's we could all contribute some tasty recipes.

BBQs are a good idea....nothing special but
whenever I have a Japanese guest we'll have
a BBQ at least once and they always seem to
like it.
Apart from that, I think food is food. If
you're a good cook you can make tripe taste
nice, but give a $40 piece of steak to a bad
cook and not even Jesus can save it.

Rajio>Japanese people pretend to like stuff though, it is quite doubtful they let you know their true opinion.. Being polite is more important than being honest. Even though it is quite possible they really did like it.
The thing is though, BBQ in Japan is not like BBQ that I grew up with in the US, hamburgers and hot dogs on buns are non existant as far as ive seen.
pieces of meat with sauces to dip them in, bun-less wieners, veggies, yakisoba, and maybe some fish make up all of the Japanese BBQ ive ever been to. I've never even seen somebody grill a steak or chicken breast, which I'm not sure it would be that good anyway cuz many times they cook on a "teppan" (iron slab) instead of a grill, so it loses the that charcoal flavor. But I'm not above being surprised though.
Anyhow the BBQs here are still fun. Food, booze and friends is a winning combination in any country I think.

Incubus9> the majority of Western food in Japan has a Japanese twist to it. You might like it, you might not, but it won't be what you are used to. And certain ingredients are definitely hard to find. What is it you hope they have?
For the record I love Japanese style curry, i've only recently gotten into Indian curry, and that has been since ive been here.
So i don't know how authentic it is compared to what you would find in india.

Hmm... Usually when i tell them it's Dr.Pepper they automatically dislike it or turn it down.
But, Sometimes I'll put it into a Fountain Cup from my local Conbini store and tell them it's coke or something...
They don't know it's Dr.Pepper half the time, and when i tell them it's Dr.Pepper their like.. wtf.. So sometimes, If you don't know what your drinking, you don't have any stigma attached to it. So it makes it easier to drink.
Although, Doesn't work on everyone.. Poo..
Also, Majority of my Japanese friends also don't like the Mexican drink called Horchata..

LoL, that's funny, sort of.
I noticed they don't really like sweet stuff from America.
When some Japanese students came to my college for a visit someone from my class offered them candy corn, since they came a week before Halloween, and they didn't know what it was but they tried it anyway and the look on their faces were priceless. Some of them ate it all but they didn't wanna be rude so they sucked it up and ate it, and others just spit it out right when they got a taste of it.
Back to the main topic.
Most of my Japanese friends and other exchange students here really love filipino Chicken Adobo. They really love it, as well as other filipino food, but I still haven't had one of them try dinuguan a.k.a. chocolate meat. For those of you who don't know what it is it's beef soaked in it's blood. Don't let that get to you though cuz it's really good.

i live here in the US. i liked most of the food here, but there is one thing I hate to eat. it's the sauerkraut. it's german food and you eat it with sausage right? i didnt even know what it was but i was surprised when i found it was a pickled cabbage!! lol i love cabbage but not when its pickled like that. i can eat a lil bit but it's not something i can eat a lot of it. cuz its too SOUR! but people here eat it just like vegeies or something..
i think its like Umeboshi(the pickled Ume or plum).
and yes im japanese and don't like licorice...lol ew its on one of the yucky food list.. i know some of my american friends like it and my european friends are crazzy when it comes to licorice...hmm i'd rather have DOVE chocolate or some HERSHEYs. ha ha

Not Japanese but I also hate licorice....makes me
feel ill just thinking about it. My dad loves it
but I know plenty of Australians who hate it.
But sauerkraut is great. Not the stuff you buy in
a supermarket but the real home cooked stuff is
really good.
It's a little like parmesan cheese. If you buy
the powdered stuff in a can, it's like eating puke,
but fresh parmesan cheese is really delicious.

sauerkraut... my family has a German heritage and all, but I literally cried the first time I took a bite of that crap.... i was just a little kid at the time, but if it is still as nasty as I remember it (and from the times I've smelled it.. sure seems that way) I think it would make me cry again.
