      Slap a whole fish down in front of you.

      You: “Not cooked”

      slice filled of fish off and present it.

      You: “Not cooked”

      slice filled into small bite size pieces and squirter some neon green horseradish next to it

      You: “Dis is cooked!”

  I think of a chef as a “preparer of food” not necessarily “food cooker”

  So sushi chef is still accurate to their opinion, disclaimer I agree with them so I could always be rationalizing it.

  Some of the constituent ingredients have to be cooked, but ceviches and sushi rolls aren’t cooked any more than salads or burritos. They’re assembled or prepared.

    You’re ignoring the chemical process in ceviche.

    • xmunk@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yea, ceviche is cooked with acid rather than heat - you can also cook some foods with salt!

      • CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        You could cook using an exothermic reaction between ingredients, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening when making ceviche, so a ceviche is not cooked.

  Ceviche is said to be “cooked” with acid, even if that’s not the most accurate term. And most forms of sushi are made with cooked rice, at miminimum, and not uncommonly with other cooked ingredients. So those things kind of muddy the waters for your point. But a clearer example may be something like beef tartare, a garden salad with a vinegarette, or sashimi. Those things are “prepared”, not cooked, because no cooking is involved in their making. Cooking is specifically the preparation of food utilizing heat. Chefs prepare plenty of dishes that do not involve the act of cooking.

  The acid from the lime is doing the cooking in ceviche.

    I agree - and it specifically isn’t doing so through an application of heat.
