I've been trying to expand my tastes for a while. When I was younger I outright refused to eat a whole lot of things.

almost any scaly fish is fine, but it has to be freshly dead (or alive in some cases)

I have a kuwaiti friend who makes the absolute best sushi. I don't quite remember, but I think it was shimp tempura, avacado, cream cheese, cucumber, carrot, all wrapped up and topped with fresh salmon over the top drizzled with plum sauce and sesame seeds. There was always a little extra sand in it though.

Sushi is the best damn asian food ever. Fortune cookies are runner up.

I had no previous experience with making it, so I looked up a recipe for the sushi-rice on wikipedia, got me some fresh raw tuna, smoked salmon. and it was absolutely marvelous.

Cooking the sushi-rice, making the vinegar-dressing, mixing it on a lower temperature was the most tricky part imo.

And I'm still not sure whether it's better to put the rice as a small stroke in the middle of the nori, or to spread it across the whole nori. Anyway, it still tastes the same

i used to make sushi with my korean buddy. there is a very high density of sushi restaurants within a 1 mile radius of here so i usually leave it up to the pros.

sushi owns, but that louis jadot isn't worth buying... so much better out there for the same $8.

That's like saying, "Bratwurst is German, not European."

It's exactly as stupid as it sounds. If I ask some american where they're from and they answer "North America" I'll ram my shit in their face, yeah, get all up in there
