I can't eat raw fish.
I don't like the texture. If that picture had been Unagi, or a California roll, I woulda been alllll over it...

I can't eat raw fish.

I pretty much do not as well. I have the cucumber salad which has this crabmeat on it - but I am unsure if that is raw. Then, I only like California rolls and Crunchee rolls, neither of which (I think) have raw fish.

But, to each their own :cool:

YUM! Unagi? Is that eel? I love that.

Didn't care for the squid sushi.

This is actually my latest endeavor; cooking Japanese. I even plan to attempt my own sushi. :eek:

I know...I actually mainly eat that and cali rolls. Oh, and the ones with deep fried shrimp in the middle. I've had some of the raw fish ones - they didn't taste bad, but the texture turned me off. :distress:

Yeah, Unagi is the barbequed eel. Isn't it tender and scrumptious? :laugh:
My BF used to make sushi sometimes, it turned out well and was pretty easy. You just have to have the rice roller thingy. But perhaps you meant other japanese food...anyway, i'm sure it will be delish... :)

It is! A friend of mine turned me on to it and I've never looked back.

I plan to try all kinds of Japanese food, including sushi. I got the bamboo mat as a X-mas present, so now I just have to decide where to get the fish. If I should go to a real fishmonger and which one...like that.

I hope it's delish! I'm curious how long I can eat miso soup and still love it!

ooo! I know, i haven't had Miso in awhile, but i love it too. You could also get crab and make Cali rolls...anyways, i'm sure you know that. :) Fishmongers scare me, but... :lol:

Oh I'll at least try all the rolls. But I figure a real fishmonger would have the freshest fish, no? Better than the supermarket?

I love sushi, but I only eat the raw fish kind occasionally. There's a gourmet-type grocery store near work & I pick up their Full Moon combo about once a week for lunch (just had it yesterday.) YUM! That and edamame - love it.

I never thought I could crave sushi, only junk food. But I do! I hadn't had it in a couple weeks & yesterday I was practically salivating at the thought of it.

Anyway - I've never had Sushi actually...:shrug: I grew up an extremely picky eater - so I didn't branch out much - never had Mexican or Chinese food til I was in college :eek:

So now I'm more open-minded when it comes to food - Sushi is on my list of things to try :nod:

Yup, that it was, Deanna, that it was! Wegman's rawks! They have these Japanese master chef guys rolling it fresh daily. It's sooooo good, you really must try it! If you're leary of the whole raw fish thing, try California roll (all veggie.) :nod:

My grandma made Mexican food when I was growing - but I didn't like it (granted I never even tried it) - I wouldn't even eat beans...:shrug: Actually I STILL don't like beans...

And so when my family would go out to eat at Mexican restaurants - I'd get a hamburger - if we were going somwhere with no burgers - my mom would actually get one for me elsewhere to eat at the Mex place :laugh:

For years I judged Mexican restaurants by the quality of their hamburgers :laugh:

I absolutely LOVE sushi! I've tested about every sushi bar available in my city.

However, last weekend me and a friend of mine decided to try to make our own sushi. I was a bit nervous about it, because of the risk for parasites in the raw salmon, etc. But it turned out sooo great! It took a long time to do, but the little sushi pieces were adorable and it tasted lovely. So I guess that is something that I can recommend!

They shut a Chinese place around the area awhile ago. Rumors said it was because of the cat issue.

Hey! I don't know how this whole discussion started... But I would just like to add one thing:

I have eaten real Chinese food in China and it was certainly not greasy, but very healthy and we had no cat-like meat! ;)

My favorite Thai place used to have a puppy store next door. There was seriously this weird little trap door type thingie in the connecting wall that was kinda haphazardly covered with a few boards. We used to always joke that it was the tunnel they slid the unloved or unwanted puppies through before they met their fate in the kitchen.

We call the restaurant Thai Puppies. I go there seriously once a week but for the life of me couldn't tell you the real name of the place.

They shut down a local Chinese restaurant about a year ago after they found out the owner was serving duck - like, the ducks from the neighboorhood. :eek: I had never gone there - thank God!

My neighbor works for Pepsi & he keeps us updated on a few places to avoid. He has to go into or near the kitchen often when he makes deliveries :thumbsup:

Salmon sashimi (in Japanese, "sake")

Hmmmm...as pictured, this is NOT "sashimi", David. This is "Sushi"...if it were "sashimi", it would just be the slices of salmon without the rice.

Yeah, Unagi is the barbequed eel.

"Unagi" is baked SEA eel (not necessarily "barbequed"); as opposed to "Anago" which is baked fresh-water eel.
