“it is really a food we shouldn’t be eating for hashkafa reasons”
So nuuu, what are you waiting for, go ask these Rabbonim to clarify what potential hashkafic reasons are at play to stay away from eating sushi. Borscht is not a yiddishe food either. In america it is associated with jews because jewish immigrants from russia brought it over with them and the carnegie deli made it popular. So, does that mean in america there are no hashkafic reasons to stay away from borscht but in say, spain it would be problematic? We need clarification from these anonymous rabbonim.
