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
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...
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.
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...
A friend of mine calls it ‘squishy’.....well when I started working for a Japanese Corp. eating sushi was just par for the course. Really like it though-—as long as its fresh and done right. I loves me some dragon and rainbow sushi rolls.
So... what I am taking away from this is being lazy is good.
we can’t get enough parasites?
I have a problem with the thesis of this….most fish are far stronger pound for pound than humans - so this soft muscle lazy thing to me does not make sense.
Then I'd make a tender meal.
There’s a fine, old sushi bar here, where I was introduced over two decades ago. It’s edible art, the flavors and textures are very distinctive. For the uninitiated, not all of it is raw. Go with someone who knows their way around the menu, order a few cooked or smoked examples like seared sashimi beef or Alaska Roll (smoked salmon). Slowly try a few other things. Good, fresh sushi-grade tuna is not fishy at all, it’s rather sweet in fact. That said, there are still a few places I won’t go, lol, most involving identifiable tentacles with suction cups still attached. Just cannot appreciate that and would just rather not even see it.
Eating things raw that may have worms and other parasites....No thanks.
