Has anyone else noticed that sashimi vs sushi has similar vibes to Saruman vs Sauron?

In terms of linguistics or in terms of power?

they kinda have a similar relationship to each other on both! Sashimi is the little brother because it's less well known and always tags along in "sushi restaurants", much like Saruman tags along with Sauron. And the name in both cases feels like you start from the short thing and then stretch an extra syllable in.

wasabi is gollum in this analogy. adds a surprising twist to the story, and an unexpected kick to both sushi and sashimi.

In Middle-earth cuisine, Saruman is like a meticulous sushi roll—calculated and complex. Sauron, akin to intense sashimi, embodies raw power and dominance. Unique flavors, with Saruman subtle and Sauron overwhelming. 🍣 #MiddleEarthFood
