Raw or lightly boiled fish - but either way still raw enough that the extremely nasty parasites that live in white fish, which really really don't get on with humans, are still fully alive. No thank you. I'll eat most things that come out of the sea, but I'm going to need them cooked properly, kthxbye. So multiple centuries of history of people eating raw fish and a complete non history of people dying from it doesn’t make you think it’s probably ok? Junk food, alcohol and tobacco has probably killed millions times more people in the last 10 years than raw fish has since the dawn of humanity. Also, sushi is hipster food? It’s raw fish and rice ffs. It’s bloody lovely. Edited April 13, 2021 by Ingram85 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 There’s other kinds of sushi if you can’t handle raw fish. Aldi do a veggie version, I buy them for my lunch sometimes. Absolutely stunning smothered in soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi. And I’m no hipster, greedy bastard, yes, but hipster, no way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent 2 weeks in Japan and didn't eat any of it, they have so much incredible cuisine and that's whats become popular in the west, its shit and pointless mainly because what we get served here is westernised / americanised garbage at hugely inflated prices, the flavour comes from the condiments, the actual fish + rice itself are incredibly bland And theres a lot of confusion between sushi and sashimi Edited April 13, 2021 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t watched it in over 25 years, but it felt like we basically watched it on repeat when we did. I think my adolescent film analysis had it on par with “Stand by me”.

If I like the western version then my thinking is I’ll absolutely love the authentic stuff. Can’t wait to try actual flame grilled chutaro in Japan.

Get on the tonkatsu sandwiches and you'll forget sushi ever existed Most of the good stuff is hard to find, even in London, but for some reason there's a large number of Japanese expats in dusseldorf and therefore they have a fair few bakeries, surprisingly the Japanese have excellent bakery products 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Haven't tasted sushi I like yet, but I know people who swear by it. It always makes me gag. I think it's the texture of the cold rice that ruins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you. I'll eat most things that come out of the sea, but I'm going to need them cooked properly, kthxbye. 1. Sushi basically means sour. Yeah, I'm that guy. Peanuts aren't nuts, sea lions are related to donkeys, etc. But there are orders of magnitude more dishes without raw fish than those with. 2. The raw fish is flash frozen to the point that all parasites are killed. No different from cooking in that sense. 3. Where I live (Vancouver) it's the most popular and cheapest form of fast / take-away food in the city. Indian and Chinese food are way more expensive, and there's a sushi restaurant within two blocks at pretty much every point in the city. 4. That shit is (mostly) pretty healthy too vs other fast food. 5. If you don't like it, fine - go back to your blackened steak with ketchup and fries that you probably microwaved you **** troglodyte. 6. I didn't mean #5, I just love sushi. You got me all hot and bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
