That's the first time anybody has ever told me that. Personally, I'll stick with Sukiyaki, thanks.

Though I did have a member of the Japanese Olympic ski team give me some jerky once...squid jerky. It was pretty good.

some I like, some of the dish's I don't like.
I don't like the green sauce they have on some of the dish's

That's wasabi (horseradish) and it will blow your socks off for sure. All the times I've had sushi it was on the side so you could add it if you want, noobs should really be careful with that stuff. Personally I love it, I enjoy weeping at mealtime. :lol:

For accuracy's sake, it is not what we know in the west as a white horseradish root. While it's nicknamed "Japanese horseradish" and both wasabi and horseradish are members of the cabbage family, they are different plants.

I barely dip my chopsticks into wasabi, just enough for a vague taste of its flavor. But I love a slice of good pickled ginger with my sushi. :yep:

I can't stand wasabi or ginger :dead:

I do love my soy sauce though. :yep:

I don't eat anything that had feathers, scales and other than four legs.

Who would have thought a topic about sushi would go so far?:hmm:

I hope you go to a kosher Sushi bar! :)

Even nori can be non-kosher...

I'll quote Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw in a commercial I saw that takes place in a sushi bar.

Bradshaw leans over to the guy serving the sushi with the plate in his hand and whispers:

"You forgot to cook this."

Sashimi sashimi is raw fish now all you sailors repeat after me:

:lol:

Raw meat though...:dead: well except beef maybe.

@ Avon Lady, thanks for the info didn't realise it was a different plant as Wasabi is dyed green. Does taste different from horseradish....both are powerful. :/\\x: Imagine the red triangle is your tongue.

You will never beat the good old British fish and chips. :smug:

Funny thing, my local chip shop is run my some very nice Chinese people and they do a grand job. :up: And very good value for money. :yep:

Sorry, but that´s not correct! ;) Raw fish is sashimi, but sashimi isn´t raw fish! :) It can also be raw meat. Or seafood.

Oops sorry Gizzmoe, thanks for the correction.:oops:

@ Steed, damn I love a good fish and chips and have not found any outside the UK or Canada (don't laugh we got some great fish and chips in the Maritimes and Newfoundland, real good fish and stuff). You need to make it properly though, good ingredients, fresh oil and good batter. Otherwise it's c@#p.

In all honesty, we've made our own sushi for a long time, I've only been to a real Sushi bar once. When I was about 12 or so....wasn't keeping kosher at the time, but I do now. (I thought seaweed was called Kombu? Or is it a kanji variation of the word Nori?). We got into asian food because my sister is an avid JapAnime fan.

Since our family started learning about our history and background we started keeping kosher etc. So we've made out own sushi since then (about 7 years ago or so). I haven't gotten around to making sashimi yet (not that I'd be able to get any fresh fish for that matter), but I can make some GREAT Chinese Chow Mein. Only problem is that you'll be wanting to drink from the fire hydrant after a bite or two.....I like spicy food.

On a side note: Sushi etiquette? http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/BK/05/1211...nese_sushi.mov

:huh: :shifty: ... that's a pretty limited selection of meats you got there. No poultry, fish, or shellfish?
