London school opens to train chefs in authentic 'washoku' cuisine

London school opens to train chefs in authentic 'washoku' cuisine

Ah, "cultural appropriation" on a commercial scale. Don´t tell the woke crowd...

Washoku is OK but most English people prefer proper British food like Pizza and Chinese.

This could be interesting. The UK is one of the better countries to be a vegetarian / vegan, and "washoku" is usually very far from being either of those things.

"Hey, there's no animal products in this? What's going on?"

"Er, that's a bottle of mineral water"

"So? Everyone knows that you have to have animal products in everything! Melt down some bones and put them in there. That's a direct order from the section chief"

"From the section chief? OMG, then I absolutely have to do it!"

I wonder if they'll need to adjust some of the ingredients or methods?

Most Japanese food in the UK is bad sushi, bad katsu curry (bad curry with a chicken (sacrilege!) cutlet), and not very good ramen.

More people doing washoku would be good, but it would be nice to see the existing bad Japanese food improve too.

Why on Earth would anyone want this being so close to French, Italian or Spanish cuisine which is bursting in flavour, unlike the blandness of Washoku?

Washoku is described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as being "associated with an essential spirit of respect for nature that is closely related to the sustainable use of natural resources."

Satire?
