Japan might be routinely hailed as one of the best places in the world for food but that has not inspired Donald Trump to deviate from his strict all-American diet, Independent reported.
There was not a trace of ramen, sushi or tempura on President Trump’s plate at a casual lunch with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Sunday.
The billionaire property developer instead relished in eating a hamburger sourced from American beef during his first trip to Japan as President.
Mr Trump chose to have his burger well-done as he has become so famed for doing with his steaks.
President Trump played golf with Mr Abe at the Kasumigaseki Country Club - alongside professional golfer Hideki Matsuyama - on his first day in the country. According to an excerpt from the book “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J Trump”, during a trip to Japan back in 1990 Mr Trump said he would not eat "f***ing raw fish" and instead devoured a hamburger at McDonald's which cheered him up massively.
Forget raw fish, it’s great to hear that American beef is available in Japan; it was banned for many years with the mad cow media scare.
“Japan might be routinely hailed as one of the best places in the world for food...”
Are you kidding me!? We have the absolute best quality and variety of food of anywhere on the planet here in Japan. This reporter is just making stuff up because of ignorance and stupidity and unwillingness to do any research.
He had projectile vomiting and then passed out on camera.
It was truly sad and liberals loved it and made lots of jokes regarding it.
How can you be sure, you are not ingesting invisible parasites or their eggs with the raw fish? I saw that happen on reality TV show “monsters inside me”.
How many countries have you visited and ate the local cuisine to make that claim?
There are many varieties of cooked sushi rolls that are delicious. If you can’t abide seaweed wrap ask for soy paper instead although it isn’t as good for holding a roll together
Everyone should give sushi a try I love the stuff cooked or not. Teriyaki dishes and sukiyaki are also fine dining.
I can't be sure, any more than I can be sure that I won't be killed by a drunk driver on my way to work.
Neither risk is high enough to make me modify my daily activity.
Actually I see this as him sending a message on the Beef Trade from the US to Japan. Japan has been notorious about limitations on US beef for years.
His selecting a US burger to eat is sending a quiet message to the PM on trade, as well as the general public in Japan that it’s ok to eat US beef.
We’re blessed enough to live in cattle country, and I know exactly where my meat comes from, because it’s raised by the family that owns the butcher shop, and it doesn’t cost any more than the mystery meat at the grocery store.
”If you mind your own business then you won’t be minding mine..”
Don’t give a damn about your business.
I do give a damn about marketing that misrepresents the product. Don’t take things so personally.
Ooops. I could swear I saw “might not be routinely” in that first sentence.

Still the article is bullshit.
Good. You should not be minding my business. Let me mind my business! I will eat whatever hamburgers that I want to eat. I will put on mushrooms, hot peppers and whatever else I want to put on them, thank you very much. Butt out of my hamburgers!
I agree that sushi from a reputable source is probably low risk. So is rare steak, and various other delicacies. But accidents are known to happen.
Oh, I don’t know. It might be interesting to see how crazy you eventually get about this.
There’s an Aldi’s that recently opened up near me. I was surprised with the quality of meats they had for the prices.
Are you now a “news source?”
Don’t sweat burning corn. We get the alcohol but stock still get the corn, only it’s broken down a bit into dry grain. Good for them; makes them fat and happy and tasty.

“One of the reasons one ton of DDGS can replace more than one ton of conventional feed is that its energy and protein content are concentrated. Only the starch portion of the corn kernel is converted to ethanol, while the protein, fat, fiber and other components are concentrated and passed through the process to the distillers grains.
Grain ethanol feed product volumes approached 39 million metric tons in the 2010/11 marketing year, an amount of feed that would produce nearly 50 billion quarter-pound hamburger patties.”
I saw the both of them in concert a number of times but never together.
