Sushi and the Aquarist

[CatLover]

Yep, I'm talking about that. The same thing happened to my coworker's best friend.

Personally I think the pics of the sushi look more disgusting than the maggots, but oh well.

Mmmmm sushi... I recently learned to make my own Sooooo much nicer and fresher than M&S and co. But it helps to have someone to show you which bottles to get from the Chinese supermarket! Unless you can read Chinese, obviously!
I think I'm particularly cold hearted though... I had a pet rabbit yet love rabbit stew, and also enjoy "bambi burgers" (venison grill steaks)

Never eaten it, i read an article on raw fish that you have to be careful of worms.

sushi is an artform, don't see how it can be described as disgusting, guess it has to do with cultural appreciation, something some people lack.

Not all sushi has raw fish. Some is just veggies and rice, others have cook seafood, or some other variety of yummy foods

Sushi is pretty yummy and definately an art form. My "second dad" makes sushi and it's good stuff! There are some cool designs that you can make in the little wraps by arranging the ingredients differently.

Mmmmm, now I want sushi!

never tried sushi not that keen on seafood either.

most i eat is a bit of bathered cod or something like that. tuna and salmon are nice with a salad though.

don't feel guilty about eating them either. kind of gets to me when you read things about people eating red tail cat fish and tiger shovel nose cats, there such gorgeous looking fish!!

I LOVE roll sushi!!! My hubby and I got adventurous the other night. We went to a Japanese Teppen restaraunt and tried some different types. Usually I enjoy California Roll or the Spicy Tuna, but this time was different. We tried Fresh Water Eel, Calamari, Octopus, and Salmon Roe (none of these were rolled). I couldn't do it. I'm sure it had something to do with the size of the first one I ate (Salmon Roe), but I couldn't finish it at all. Not that I'm against eating it because I just beg for my apitso eggs to hatch, but something about the eggs POPPING in my mouth that made me gag. My hubby loved it though, and I'll be keeping my adventures to roll sushi.

I love all types of sushi apart from the stuff that has fish eggs in . I've been too alot of japanese and chinese sushi resturants and resturants in general, i once got offered roast cat once least to say i didn't eat it cos i think cat is illegal to eat in England but im generenly up for anything unusual, i want to try some of the new insect meals coming out of thailand and korea- deep fried dragonfly...mmm...
You should be more worried about eating kangoroo steaks though than sushi in getting worms, although kangaroo steat i think is a bit overated, its very tough muscley meat .

I'm not a big fan of seafood, so although I have tried sushi, it's just not my thing. It has nothing to do with morals or anything though... heck, I'd happily eat cat or dog meat, but I don't like the taste of seafood

Ever tried sea urchins? Next time you're at a sushi bar, ask for an "uni shooter". They're delicous! Yet it's all a matter of opinion because I love seafood. One of my favorite snacks is "saki ika" or dried squid. It's like potato chips but alot more healthy. I have wierd eating habits I guess. )

I had a roommate who was from China and after spring break he came back with some canned dog meat. So I tried it and it was actually not that bad. If you've ever had buffalo meat it tastes alot like that with about the same consistency. But I wouldn't have if I had known about the treatment of dogs in the East. For example It's common practice to sell dogs in street markets while still alive, their front limbs dislocated and tied painfully behind their backs, and a jagged tin can rammed over their jaws to make them easier to handle. Or they're stuffed into cages so small they literally can't move. Google "dog meat" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I like sushi and was wondering ................ also eats sushi or "sushini"

Its not "sushini" its called sashimi. And that stands for raw fish. Not too be piccy or nothin! No link to the original site u were talkin bout?

PS: Kangaroo meat is damm delicious, u just need to know how to cook it!

PPS: WASSSSAAAAABI also kicks ass!

 

[SPLiSH]

I love sushi... but only if it's the cooked stuff. I just get squeamish from raw flesh. But I love the little fish dumplings....

Raw fish

i love sea food but theres something about eating raw fish that turns my stomach. On the other hand i like my steaks as rare as possible and can never resist a cube or two of raw beef if im cutting some steak up for a casserole or stew.

 

[bunjiweb]

I went to Japan in 2000 for 2 weeks and it was forced apon me with great relish by the Japanese people i was staying with. They thought it was hilarious to watch me attempt to eat it..... There were a couple of the rice/salmon ones which were really nice but i generally absolutely detest the taste of raw fish, let alone cooked fish!

Give me a nice juicy stake any day of the week

Sushini, Sashimi, you know what I meant

I had only heard it spoken, not seen it written so I took a guess.

I had a roommate who was from China and after spring break he came back with some canned dog meat. So I tried it and it was actually not that bad.

I'd happily eat cat or dog meat, but I don't like the taste of seafood

Isn't it odd how one cultures cuisine differs to the point of another cultures offense??

For instance, it is very taboo in North America to eat dog meat, but in parts of the pacific rim, it is perfectly normal fare.

We eat cows with reckless abandon here in North America, and beef is somewhat of a delicacy in Japan, but the Hindus in India worship cows, and the thought of eating them is very offensive and disgusting.

Even where I live, in Ontario, it is illegal to eat horse meat, and is considered disgusting, but in Quebec, less than 30 minutes from here, it is perfectly legal and a delicacy.
