Sushi in the United States and the difficulty of adapting to the food #016

 I came to the United States with the mindset that I would adapt easily to the food, because I like different types of dishes. I like Lebanese, Japanese, Italian food, and for me the food from Argentina and Paraguay was OK. So I thought it would be quite easy to eat in the United States.

My first contact was the food on the plane, it didn't have much seasoning, but the food was very well prepared and I liked it in a way, but I already started to miss Brazilian food.

I got a sandwich at the airport, it wasn't extremely delicious, but it wasn't horrible either.

Real life threw a bucket of fried water at me, I thought I would adapt easily, but it's been really hard. So far I've been to a Mexican, Vietnamese and Japanese restaurant and I haven't liked any of it. I don't know if I've just been unlucky so far. I'm not much of a cook, but I feel like I'm going to have to find a way to eat better.

At the Mexican restaurant I asked for the meat well done and it came burnt. There is a difference between well-cooked/fried meat and what I got was charcoal. The vegetables were not well-cooked and the food was unseasoned.

At the Vietnamese restaurant, I ordered a tea, it came with pure sugar (later people say that only in Brazil things are so sweet), the rice came hard (it seemed like it was pre-cooked, but they didn't cook it well enough).

I was hoping for the Japanese restaurant, because I really like sushi and I had high expectations. But the sushi was bad too. Almost all the sushi comes with avocado (which I found really strange, but some sushi in Brazil comes with strawberries, if you stop to think about it, it's really strange too lol). I tried to avoid avocados, I got a sushi with pepper. The meat seemed cooked, they put the rice on the outside and the seaweed on the inside. I definitely didn't like it.

The frozen food, the same problem as the Mexican restaurant, the vegetables weren't well-cooked. I like rice, meat, vegetables, etc. well-cooked, and here I saw that it's not a standard.

Living here will force me to cook better. My idea of ​​an easy adaptation went down the drain.
