@BlackQazz @ArcticIke You strive for excellence in all that you do. Meanwhile we are reminded of what others are doing and are also spurred to action.

@ArcticIke @elainevanepps Incorrect: We Japanese have outsmarted the Americans
Correct: We Japanese are just crazy about their passion and pride when it comes to food.
English
Fellow Americans,
The Japanese are making delicious soups (imoni, taro root with meat) with specialized excavators. Why aren't we innovating on giant chilis and chowders via this method? This should be at some state fair or a food eating competition.

アメリカのBBQ、使われてる肉も調理工程も全てのスケールが日本と違いすぎるのでスケール感で日本が勝つためには山形の芋煮を持ち出す必要がある

@AonoGensou Launching ANYTHING into the sky is our passion.

"I can see a future where if Americans did it, it wouldn’t be a food-eating contest but a food fight."
We would do both. We could fire missiles of jambalaya in the air to see how big of a splatter zone we could create, and then use giant water guns to see how fast we can clean it all up.

アメリカ人がやったらフードイートじゃなくてフードファイトになる未来が見える。

アメリカの新しくできた友達たちへ。理想の国際交流ってこういうことだよな、ってしみじみ思うTwitterの肉祭りだ。知っているかい？日本のTwitterではアメリカの肉がトレンド1位なんだぜ？
BBQの画像が一通り出回り、熱気も少し落ち着いてきたから、抑圧されてきた白人らしさとか男らしさとかの分析する人たちがでてきて教えてもらった。おかげで君たちのことがますます好きになったし、行ってみたくなったよ。
日本は現在夜で、そろそろ日曜から月曜に変わる。明日起きて仕事に行き、家に帰るころには、私たちが楽しんでいるこの話題に、賢くて現代的な考え方の人たちがTwitterに意見をどんどん書いているだろう。そしてブームは急速に冷めてしまう。私たちはただ美味そうな肉を見たくて、友達がグリルに火をつけてくれているのに、やつらは水をぶっかけていく。自分の正しい思想を押し付けるために。私はそれが我慢できない。
皆さんはこれまで何度も経験してきたと思う。だけど悲しむ必要はない。君たちは我々普通の日本人に、BBQを見せてくれた。君たちの誇りと文化を見せてくれた。日本人はそれを決して忘れない。
いつか肉を食べにいくよ。とびきり美味い日本の酒を持ってね。

@MichaelFKane They have ninjas with specific roles of being seen by tourists so the tourists can feel extra clever. You can see them in Mie Prefecture in Iga Ueno. Well worth the day trip.
English
How would one KNOW there are no ninjas in Japan given how sneaky there are...? 🤔

親愛なるアメリカの友人たちへ 残念ながら、今の日本には「侍」も「忍者」もいません。 ガンダムは量産化されていません。 悟空はまだ子供です。 ナルトは存在しません。 織田信長もいません。 残念ながらこれが現実です。

@Locus_Solus3303 "skosh", from 少し/sukoshi, is also a relatively recent loanword into English. Per Merriam-Webster (a popular dictionary), it came over circa 1952, but I never heard it used until this century. I did a major doubletake when I heard it in a US commercial 20 years ago.
English
@girlmeetsNG Americans would be more impressed by this if you used imperial measurements (miles/hr). We don't understand km/hr and we're too lazy to do the conversion.
(I mean, I would convert it. It's roughly 370 mi/hr. But we as a people wouldn't.)
English
@LaughlessVR I nominate my husband's chili as tribute. It is meat-based and already the winner of two separate church chili cookoffs. He'd have a lot of fun tweaking the recipe to make sure everything tastes just right.
English
@elainevanepps Clearly we need to challenge Japan to a chili cook off. We have grown complacent and need proper competition to wake us up.
English
@karukozakaxxx If it gets too popular this fall, maybe Yamagata Prefecture would prefer we think it's in Miyagi by mistake.
English
This heavy machinery is brand new, and I’ve already lubricated the moving parts with butter and cooking oil. I plan to use this shiny new machine to make imoni soup.
Please note that this exciting festival is held in Yamagata Prefecture, not Miyagi Prefecture.

@ZQQuKJ2hdh34349 Nebraska is farm country - famous for corn in particular, but they do a lot of beef production as well.

@kiss2kill3 I thank the engineers who designed and perfected these backhoes.

@maxim_r2x This is the one time I want a local politician to do something ridiculous with my tax money, even if it is to seed a crowdsourced fund for it.
English
@TenzanB Bless Yamagata for coming up with it! This feels like it should be older than 1989!

@elainevanepps この重機はこの祭りのためだけに用意される、新品に特別な整備が施された個体であることははっきりと申し上げておかねばなりません。
日本語
@miso_tanuki_ I have long admired the Japanese industrial hygiene standards for cooking. We're only not slapdash with our standards due to fear of getting sued for food poisoning or allergen contamination.
English
@elainevanepps これらの機械は新品です
新品の機械のオイルを全て食用に入れ替えて使っています
そこまでして衛生に気を使っているのは日本人らしいでしょ
このfestivalで使われた機械はRelicのように扱われます
Relicなので高い値段で売られます

@1hydroaks1 I laughed hard at the image of a mad scientist collective. Thank you for that.
Everything is coming together!

@elainevanepps マッドサイエンティスト集団による「芋煮会」という名称の呪術ですね。一年に一度だけ一般市民にも振る舞われるそうです。
いくつかの支部があり、それぞれ流派が異なるそうです。

@agult I appreciate how the excavators are made with this festival in mind first, and then repurposed in a thoughtful manner for future tasks.
