Guess I just don’t have the refined palate necessary to enjoy this stuff.
Out here on the farm, we call this bait...
It’s the Wassabi and soy sauce, I like it on raw beef too.
It’s okay even good but I don’t eat it often and you buy a little bit and it cost a lot.
Nasty crap
Oh and let’s not forget the thin sliced ginger to go along with it.That and a cols Asahi lager.
I love sushi, but the mention of Obama cost me my appetite.
Don’t let anyone tell you that Blue Marlin is tender and soft. We tried to eat some marlin on time and there is a tough membrane every 1/2”. There is more than one reason it is a game fish.
I had never tired sushi and didn’t want to but my Daughter and S-I-L bought some at a Publix. I decided to just try it and it wasn’t bad but not good enough that I would order it myself.
I found your post interesting...
Our local Marsh Supermarket has freshly prepared sushi that’s really pretty good.
$6.95 an gets you 12 pieces of California roll or a few other varieties.
I keep telling naysayers that sushi doesn’t necessarily have to have raw fish in it. Veggies, cream cheese, fake crabmeat, etc.
I can do tuna ans salmon, but I draw the line at eel
Like most things, it is an acquired taste. It helps to have some sake on hand.
I think it has something to do with the radiation from the Fukushima reactor. It just adds to the flavor and gives you that warm “glow” inside. Nothing else come close.
Conceptually very simple, with a wide variety of flavors, and servings are innately small which lets you try a lot of different stuff in one trip. Also very good social food.
Eh? Eel is yummy!
Grocery store sushi is an abomination. Part of the idea is that it is prepared and then you eat it just a few minutes later. When it sits around the flavors blur, things toughen up, the rice goes from sticky to gummy. Yuck.
Neanderthal man loved raw animal meat. A main advantage to homo sapiens was a more healthy gut by cooking, and eating more of the other stuff too. I suspect neanderthal would like lots of raw fish...
I always have sake with my sushi/sashimi, but after a few swigs, I definitely would fail to have it on my hand - it would slip off. :-)
Good sushi is very very good. But good sushi is expensive.
Its the essence of fish.
Hooray for Unagi!
