The first time i ever tried sushi was when my mate bought a box of the stuff from a local boots store one lunchtime (boots is the company name, not the product it sells ) it was okay but it was obviously sedate stuff for western tastes.
I've tried thre japanese stuff from convenience stores "seberun erebun" to an actual sushi resturaunt.
Its definately an aquired taste but compared to all the things and lower life-forms the japanese are fond of bringing up from the depths, it doesnt seem the wierdest.
I have to admit im still not too big on most types of sushi, the raw fish ones i avoid most, and i hate sweet egg so i avoid those ones, but the ebi ones and veggie ones and rolls are good (i ate one of those "oni" ones for this throwing nuts aronud the house tradition thing) and yeah, im alright on sushi but i cant say i am addicted to the stuff and i certainly avoid the raw fish ones as much as possible.
My favorate food in Japan has to be cooked fish, i like cooked fish, plain, without sauce or anything, maybe just a dab of salt.
I also enjoy catching the fish myself, though i feel intensly sorry for the poor buggers i catch, i havnt done it too often but i think fishing is going to be a hobby of mine .
I dunno, fish is just something i enjoy cooked, eating it raw seems odd.
Is anyone familiar with the horse meat sushi? :/
I didnt even think of touching that stuff....I used to think i had a wide and varied pallete but honestly, asians put me to shame.
edit: also, i forgot to mention, when i was at the sushi resturaunt i couldnt for the love of god figure out how sushi became the national dish of japan basically, i dunno, as a westerner im used to the posh-git chefs choice of recipe being stuff where you have to make sauces and stuff and mix and prepare, but sushi is basically a lump of rice with a bit of raw fish chucked on top :/.
Well, its a little more then that but being raw, i could probably make sushi like a pro in my own home.
I guess its the same way japanese go nutz over a bowl of noodles, ramen is good and all but, its on TV shows almost every day, with what i can only assume is a famous chef making posh ramen.
