["Joe Palcher" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 28 Nov 1999 13:26:26 -0500 From: "Joe Palcher" Subject: Sushi--yuck!!! I am probably one of the most Japanophilic people on this list, but I have problems with a majority of Japanese food. One of them being--yes, sushi! Biggest problem is that I don't like fish in most cases--the fact that it is raw doesn't gross me out (living four years in Japan gets you over the "raw thing"). I almost screemed out in horror last Tuesday when I was in Chicago with a Japanese client that pre-ordered this sushi boat for our main deal. I had to shove it down and love it for fear of being rude. The only exception is raw tuna, or "maguro," for some strange reason. And I can stomach some others, too. I do have to admit, though, sea urchin is just about the nastiest thing on earth--other than fermented soy beans, or "natto." raburabu joe ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V4 #241 ***************************
