OT: Not So Raw Fish
Boondoggler
I had Spicy California Rolls and Avocado Rolls amongst other things.
Now here's the question. Did I have sushi? To the best of my
knowledge, everything we had was cooked. Hell, the avocado roll didn't
even have any seafood in it. However it was wrapped in seaweed and
served with wasabi and the ginger stuff. (Plus we had to fill out the
little check list thingy for the sushi chefs.)
Question 2: What's the proper ettiquette for eating these things? My
friend insisted you have to pop the whole thing in your mouth at once.
I thought it was bordering on the slightly above one bite size, and cut
mine up.
Question 3: Was the wait staff talking/laughing at us?
Oh. I really liked it. I managed to not eat any tentacles. I'm not
yet ready for the monkfish liver.

It is generally considered good etiquette not to
throw up until you are out in the parking lot.

Most certainly.

Sushi is anything they put in a roll with rice. Sushi is anything they put
on an oval of rice. Sushi is anything they put in a cone of seaweed.
Sashimi is plain raw fish straight on the plate. You are supposed to also
be given a small dish of tamari (japanese soy sauce) along with your wasabi
and ginger. The idea is to mix a little wasabi in with the tamari for
general dunking. The ginger is to be eaten between two different types of
sushi/sashimi to cleanse the palate and to aid digestion. If you like your
sushi/sashimi to ricochet off the inside of your head, you slather on a
little wasabi to taste. It is a one-bite deal. You think you can't do it,
but you do. Because of the texture of the sushi/sashimi, the moment you get
the whole thing in your mouth, it starts to melt/dissolve/get a whole lot
smaller quick. Always use chopsticks.
As to the Japanese table top cooking question, eat it as it is flipped onto
your plate. You get about 8 courses in all, starting with miso soup, then
an appetizer (usually shrimp), then an onion volcano, then a meat course,
then a vegetable course, then a "japanese spaghetti" course (bean sprouts),
then a fruit course, and lastly the cookie course.
Hope that helps!

Sushi is all about the rice. It can be raw fish, cooked seafood,
veggies, or whatever as long as it is on or wrapped around the seasoned
rice.
Sashimi is just raw fish slices. The confusion comes from when sushi is
used in a general sense like "Sushi Bars" which serve both the true rice
sushi and sashimi. I'm also guilty of this as most people don't know
what sashimi is, so I sometimes just clump all Japanese finger foods as
"sushi".

I've found eating the roll pieces to be messy if not done in one bite.
The nigri (stuff layed out on a ball of rice) I generally eat in at
least two bites. I don't know what the true etiquette is, though. (I
know, I'm a bad MBC Leader. ;-D)

No, they were laughing *with* you. ;-D

Nor am I.
Next time try tamago which I love love love. It's a slice of slightly
sweet egg omelet (totally cooked) on a ball of rice. If you like
shrimp, get the ebi which is also cooked (but be careful -- amaebi, or
sweet shrimp, is raw).
I am sooooooooooo proud of you! {{{{Boonie}}}}

Change that to MBC Agent! <waves Holy Golden Tentacle of the MBC over

advancing you straight to Full Agent for being a groupie first.) I'm
putting you in the MBC Education Dept. for your helpful and informative
post in aid to Boonie after the loss of her sushi virginity.
I saw your "Lunchtime Bliss" post and was going to reply to that, but
this thread came along. BTW, I'm going to overlook a certain calamari
salad you ate. You'll think twice about eating tentacles now that
you've got a set yourself. <wiggles> ;-D

So that time I ran out of a McDonalds to throw up in their parking lot
was a good thing?
How about if you're just driving down the road and you pull into the
parking lot of Shoney's to puke?
I think that's about it for parking lots and puke. Unless you count the
trash bin in the parking lot here at home...
But that's it. I'm sure. Until something else comes up.

OK, I had that too, and had the dunking thing down pat.

I screwed up on this one. I just sort of had one right in the middle of
one of my halves. I didn't care for it much.

I tried it both ways. I like it better cut up. The whole thing grosses
me out and makes the eating an unpleasant experience.

I did. I suck at chopsticks. I did a Julia Roberts slippery little
sucker tonight with the chopsticks and a piece of food.
Thanks for the info!

I found that if I slip my knife into the center and then cut outward on
both sides, I can make a pretty clean slice through the seaweed without
all the rice and center stuff squeezing out.

I'll have to do that. Apparently this is a good place for sushi (said
by those who like that sort of thing) and it's quite close to me.

If it's on the sushi list, I call it sushi.

Well, usually the cut rolls are bite size and are best eaten as one
bite. Otherwise, all the rice and stuff will fall out an make a mess.
To each their own, I suppose. You can avoid the hassle by getting a
handroll, which is all of the same sushi goodies rolled up into an ice
cream like cone thing that fits in your hand. Duh, guess that's why
it's called a handroll...
> Question 3: Was the wait staff talking/laughing at us?
No. Unless they were total jerks, anything goes at sushi joints. People
eat with their hands, chopsticks, even forks...

Get a spicy tuna, spicy scallop, anything with shrimp or crab or a

Tempura restaurants serves each piece just as it comes out of the frying
pot. This is the same idea as sushi bars. The best food is eaten just
after it has been prepared.

Why yes. Did they add 1 to the count in small latters
on the big MacDonald's sign. You know, right under
where it says Billions Served it also gives a runnung
count of the number barfed up. It's in very small letters
so you will have to look close.

What is a Shoney's? If they sell food then the answer
is yes.

Pop the whole thing in your mouth at once. Forget the chopsticks, fingers
are OK.
And if you order shrimp and they bring you the fried crunchy shrimp heads?

You're finally back for more, eh? (although that one sounds like

with me, and if I get some small ones, I just shuck 'em and eat 'em right
there out in the water up to my hips. Joy! Pure bliss! Although I do have
to watch out for the seagulls. Once they are onto what I do, they swarm me
just as I'm about to slurp down the tasty little bugger!

Yeah, I was on crack. I was, however, actually listening to that song as I
quoted it though. That should ameliorate some of my failure.

I feel like a priest at confessional everytime you Agents come to me
with your "forgive me Nancy for I have eaten tentacles" posts. ;-D I
may start sticking you cannibals on double secret probation, like I did
to Hank.
And caviar imbedded pasta?!? I'm no Italian purist like LauraCap, but
that sounds illegal. ;-D
Boondoggler
Bless me, Nancy, for I have sinned.
It's been <insert appropriate time> since I have eaten tentacles. The
restaurants were:
<list names of offending restaurants that offer these devilly delicious
delicacies>
O my Nancy, I am heartily sorry
for having eaten calimari,
and I detest all those tentacles
because of their inherent canibalism,
but most of all because they
offend thee, my Nancy
who art all good and deserving
of all my monkfish liver.
I firmly resolve
with the help of my sushi
to eat no more tentacles and to
avoid the caviar embedded pasta as well.
Amen.

Yay, Nothing Scared!!! Not that I ever watched it, but I've loved Kevin
Anderson every since, from the front row, I saw him as he starred opposite
Patti
Lupone in London, in the 17th performance of Sunset Boulevard ever. He's
wonderful! And the other two productions of Sunset I've seen have paled
in comparison (for a few other reasons than just him (Can we say Petula
Clark? EW!!!), though he was *by far* the best Joe I've seen. The other
ones were horrible. Why are there so few good looking tenors out there?).

alternate tuning with an F in it...the only ones I'm vaguely

I'll take alternate anything you got, but I just learned The First
Thing about guitar almost literally last week. I'm strictly limited to
what you can do with the actual 6 basic strings and one pick. I'm not
about to start learning how to tune the whole thing to another key. ;P

She did?! What a heartless bitch. Did she include a recipe for fava
