They can keep the octopus and urchins and seaweed, thanks.

Yup, that's how I feel about raw clams and oysters, too.....bait.
I would try it if I could afford it. We all have to die sometime.
Dave meets sushi, pong
What is he talking about? Fresh Wasabi is good stuff, its not that hot! ...what a wimp. ...Now, Habanero Peppers are hot.
Shellfish is the only sushi I refuse to touch...well that, and the Spam nigiri they had in Hawaii (the mahi mahi sushi, however, was great). Although I enjoy octopus, I always feel guilty about eating such an intelligent creature.
Another place that was supposed to be THE sushi spot locally was on A Street in Hayward.
Their sushi was ok but the best dish in the joint was called beef foilyaki. Never heard of it before and never seen it anywhere but there. Mmmm.
I keep waiting for the inevitable scene in some Farrelly brothers movie where a character pretends to have a cold, and stuffs wasabi up his nose to simulate snot...
When I was in New Zealand, all the sushi places were run by Koreans.
An interesting statement from an endocrinologist.
Is he referring just to rice or to all complex carbohydrates?
The only raw sea creatures I don't eat (so far) is the
salmon (cuz it can migrate to fresh water, where parasites
can get in), eel, octopi, and a few others....
But since the world is getting so polluted, and you never
know who the "distributor" is...I feel a little less comfortable
eating everything raw...so now I tend to get that phoney
"crab" sushi stuff..also I notice some sushi bars now
cook the fish, and put in or on top of the rice section...
Wasabi is very good.. I love the way it hits your head,
then travels to the tip of your nose, and then your
head blows up, and then it subsides...
Actually I think most people like the sushi cuz of the
soy sauce, and a bit of wasabi...cause sushi,by itself,
doesn't taste THAT good.
Just rice. For some reason, it retains vitamins and proteins in other foods eaten along with it, allowing for them to be absorbed more efficiently. He says that in my case, he thinks I have celiac disease (there's a family history, and I have some symptoms, although every test I have had for it has come up negative), and that I can't properly absorb nutrients when I eat foods with wheat or other gluten products, so it was more noticeable when I shifted to a principally rice-based diet.
yes, that was kinda my point... MOST sushi doesn't have it and those are the only ones the kids will eat
If someone actually put wasabi up their nose it would not only simulate snot, it would stimulate snot.
ABC CBS NBC CNN its all the SAME, Propaganda.
Might as well call them all AmeriJazerra.

Great - now I have to see if I have enough $$ to eat sushi tonight.
Especially after seeing the pictures... ;)
But it tastes so good!
Unagi is the best!
There is no such thing as "too much wasabi". My wife and I dump it on so that you can feel your scalp shrink as it hits.
Intriguing...
That could mean that preferring to eat rice would make other foods stretch further for whole populations of people in areas of potential famine.
Phoney crab
my wife calls it plab.
