Could you please help correct anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang！ 🙇♂️
And I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreign people
I await your harsh comments!! 💪
By the way,
A is a me.
B is a foreigner.
B: Do you remember what you ate the morning before yesterday?
A: Uh, what was it? It's on the tip of my tongue, wha-cha-ma-call-it? Let's see... Oh, yes! I remember! Ochazuke!
B: Oh, good job!
Then what's "ochazuke"?
A: "Ochazuke" is a traditional rice soup made with rice and green tea.
But in my case, or most people's case, ochazuke is made with ochazuke powder, which you dissolve in hot water and eat it.
B: Is it good?
A: It's delicious, you can add toppings you like, and most importantly, it's easy and cheap to eat, it only takes 5 minutes to cook and eat, and the whole thing probably costs less than 100 yen, depending on the toppings.
B: What toppings did you have the day before yesterday?
A: I put 海苔 and 山葵.
B: What are "海苔" and "山葵"?
A: Dried seaweed and japanese horseradish.
B: Oh, nori and wasabi! Okay, okay!
A: Have you ever had it?
B: Yes! At a Japanese restaurant in America!
A: How was it?
B: Well, it was good! But is there a good or bad thing about Nori and Wasabi?
A: Well, the nori doesn't taste much different, but the good wasabi tastes so much better when you eat it alone over rice!
B: Isn't it spicy?
A: It's spicy, but it's deliciously spicy!
B: Wow! I wanna try.
A: Well, there is a difference between good seaweed and usual seaweed, but I don't think I wanna pay a lot of money for it.
B: I see. What did you eat for lunch?
A: I skipped lunch and had tofu, chicken, and aojiru (green juice) at night!
B: You drink green juice? That's great!
A: Right? I don't know if it works or not, but it's better than not drinking it, right?
B: Probably. lol
What did you eat yesterday?
A: Chazuke again, hot dog, and egg sandwiche. I ate a lot in the morning, so I didn't eat lunch, and at night I had frozen gyoza and frozen shu-mai.
B: What kind of shu-mai?
A: Shrimp shy-mai.
B: Oh, shrimps... I don't like them. Lol
A: Really? Ah, come to think of it, they look like insects. lol
B: Yeah, it's kind of gross.
A: I feel I understand. lol
I love Shrimps though.
I could eat just it for the rest of my life.
B: No way. Absolutely you can’t!
A: I just imagined and I gave up after 4 days.
B: Yeah, Obviously.
B: Do you remember what you ate the morningfor breakfast the day before yesterday?
Your original isn't wrong, but it's not as intuitive? Or maybe just for me.
B: Oh, good jobI see!
"Good job" sounds a bit patronizing here, unless A is a small child.
ThenSo, what's "ochazuke"?
But in my case, or in most people's cases, ochazuke is made with ochazuke powder, which you dissolve in hot water andbefore eat iting.
A: It's delicious, y. You can add any toppings you like, and most importantly, it's easy and cheap to eat, it, only takes 5 minutes to cook and eat, and the whole thing probably costs less than 100 yen, depending on the toppings.
A: I put 海苔 and 山葵'nori' and 'wasabi'.
I think both nori and wasabi have been adopted into English to some extent.
A: Dried seaweed and jJapanese horseradish.
But iIs there a good or bad thing about Ndifference between good and bad quality nori and Wwasabi?
Not really sure what you mean here, took a guess based on the following sentence.
A: Well, thefor nori, it doesn't taste much different, but the good wasabi tastes so much better when you eat it alone overwith rice!
A: Well, there is a difference between good seaweed and usual seaweed, but I don't think I wanna pay a lot ofhigh quality and normal nori, but I don't really want to pay extra money for it.
That's greathealthy!
Not really sure what's great about drinking green juice? I took a guess.
A: Chazuke again, hot dog, and an egg sandwiche.
I ate a lot in the morning, so I didn't eat lunch, and at night I had frozen gyoza and frozen shu-mai.
A: Shrimp shyu-mai.
Keep spelling consistent.
B: Oh, shrimps...
A: I feel like I understand.
I love Sshrimps though.
I could eat just ithat for the rest of my life.
AbsolutelThere's no way you can’t!
A: I jJust imagined and I gaa thought, though I'd probably give up after 4 days.
Not really sure what you meant here. Did you actually eat nothing but shrimp for 4 days, or is it just an example?
B: Yeah, Oobviously.
Feedback
Overall, it flows and reads quite well.

It's just an example! Then I don't have to change my statement?

I just imagined and I gave up after 4 days.
Actually, what I was confused on was the "4 days" part, sorry for not making it clear. But the original is not quite correct as it is.
If you meant, in your imagination, you only lasted 4 days before giving up eating nothing but shrimp, then that's what my original edit was based on, or if you want an alternative closer to the original:
I just imagined it and would probably give up after 4 days.
If you meant that you spent 4 days imagining eating nothing but shrimp before giving up thinking about it, then:
I spent 4 days imagining it before giving up the thought.
The correction with the fewest edits from the original, disregarding making the meaning clear would be:
I just imagined it, and I gave up after 4 days.

Which one sounds more natural?
1"Just a thought, though I'd probably give up after 4 days."
or
2 "I just imagined it and would probably give up after 4 days."

To me, the 1st version.
