To Eat or Not to Eat
Today I ate sushi for the first time. Well I suppose that's not entirely true..it was vegetable sushi, there wasn't any actual fish in it. I just couldn't bring myself to eat raw fish, I don't particularly care for fish in the first place so I couldn't really see myself enjoying it anymore raw. The vegetable kind was quite delicious though. The outside was white rice and the inside had a thick layer of what looked like the veggie cream cheese you can get at Dunkin Donuts. The filling was very smooth and had chunks of red pepper and carrots in it. I put on it this "spicy mayo" sauce. It wasn't really all that spicy though, I think tangy would be a better word. It looked a bit like mayo that just had a little red food coloring in it, giving it a pretty salmon color. It had more chunks of red pepper in it, which made for a lovely presentation atop my "sushi". It made basically an alternating pattern of white and pink. Sushi is a very pretty food..even the fish kind. I just love how the rice or seaweed wrapping binds everything together in this neat little package..they're just perfect finger food or for chopsticks. Who'da thunk it, eating sushi with chopsticks?! The Chinese must have had that in mind when they invented sushi. Maybe next time I'll try real sushi. They did have a tuna sushi roll...hmmm i do enjoy tuna. Well that's all for now but maybe some of you would like to share your sushi stories or know a good sushi bar? Let me know!
