I'm having some california rolls for lunch and I've heard that you are suppose to mix the wasabi in the soy sauce and eat a slice of ginger between each piece of sushi. Is this true?
The way the japanese do it is mix the wasabi in the soy, dip the roll put ginger on top and eat away.

Otherwise, the odd time, I will see them put the roll in the soy, jam some ginger in the roll, put ginger on top and eat.

And you MUST slurp when you drink miso soup...they give you a spoon..but thats just a trick.

Man I love sushi...maybe I will go grab some for lunch

I am the biggest NON-seafood fan...blech...I even get sick to my stomach seeing people eat sushi...I was watching Acadian and Joe Pozer eat this one stuff...the texture looked like a thick raw chicken breast...I can only imagine what it felt like to bite into it...I'm gonna hurl just thinking about it.
Note to self: If I ever meet dhgirlie, I'm ordering sushi! :p

(with a side order of spiders! :devil: )

When I eat sushi, I usually don't dip it in the sauce. I want to taste the fish, not soy sauce. If prepared well, the right amount of wasabi will already be mixed in.

I was told a ginger slice is to be eaten between different fish types to "cleanse the pallet" so you get the full flavor of each fish. Seems to work.

I have a friend who mixes the wasabi and ginger into the soy sauce... whatever works for you.

As I was growing up, I avoided seafood at all costs - muc hto the dismay of my mother... now I eat more types of seafood than she will - except crabs... not fond of crabs... :think:

LOL...and we all look forward to them :thumb:

I don't think it's a cup, but it could be used in a pinch ;) It was actually a gift from my uncle.

Oh wow, it's yours...that is REALLY nice! Nice gift...I hope you put it to use often!

There is this SUPER swanky sushi place in San Jose called Blowfish...very trendy, but they have lots of different Sake martinis garnished with real orchids...an extensive sake list, they project japanese animation on the walls and have a dj spinnin house...all the sushi chef's are really young and they all have their hair done like yu gi oh and everyone dresses very swankily...Not only is it know for it's ultra swankiness, but everyone says the sushi is great. It's fun to go occasionally.

Yep...it is really happenin...everyone I know that has eaten there...even the nay-sayers on swanky, happenin, trendy spots say the sushi is some of the best...you should go...but bring a lot of cash...it's spendy...and the wait can get pretty long so you'll have to have some sake martinis at the bar while you wait...OH...and be sure to dress SWANKY!

I'd go more often if they had something for me to eat...

I think most people only eat Sushi because they think it makes them cool.

I mean think about it... raw seafood... most of it is not too bad when cooked but raw...

*GAK*

I don't mind some sushi items but for the most part it just plain tastes like poo.

Sake is good anytime and should not be used exclusivily to remove the horrid after after taste of sushi.

I was REALLY surprised when I got it in the mail one day (no reason). Guess he really enjoyed the sushi we had in FL with him...he's like that though, he'll forget your b-day and doesn't do the whole holiday card thing, but he'll randomly send you things that he sees and makes him think of you.

I haven't had good sushi in a while...:drool: It's not something I could eat everyday, but it's good once in a while.

Nah...just leave the fleece vest at home...you can wear jeans, and then before you go, swing by a bowling alley and pick up some bowling shoes and sneak out the back door with em (you can still wear defeets, just wear two pair if the bowling shoes look a little tired), and...is your hair long enough in the front to gel it up in that flip? Just try to look as metrosexual as you can and you'll fit in just fine. :thumb:

I don't know about THAT...I mean you HAVE to like it if you can sit and stuff your face for 30 minutes...I would never eat or drink something disgusting if I didn't like it...but I agree...even though I've never tried it, it's horrid!

Stosh's title should read "Lisa's Bitch". However, her later content in this tread was lame.

Stosh - same thread you discuss balls and an explosion in your mouth. You deserve it all. Now get your ass to the salon and have your brows done.

Earlier I kept asking people if they've gotten an ass shot as well.

Spending a week with my ghey uncle in San Franciso may be rubbing off....

OK I let a reasonable amount of time pass and nobody swung at that lob.

"Rubbing off"???

I think you like the abuse. . . if we wear black leather and talk dirty will you pay us to slap you around like this?

Right on. And only Italian people can legitimately eat pasta or pizza, and only people from Buffalo can eat wings :p
Wrong-o...

The Chinese developed the noodle.

Pizza is an American invention (if you order pizza in Italy you will be disappointed).

...nd Jessica, Buffalo don't have wings...

oh so sorry to disappoint you a hole. :rolleyes: Perhaps I can redeem myself in your eyes with a quote:

Remember in the Breakfast Club when John Bender asks Claire what she is eating? Forgive me if it is not verbatim, it's been a few months since I've seen the movie, but I think this is pretty close....

JB: What...is that?

C: It's sushi....

JB: What is sushi?

C: Raw fish, rice and seaweed

JB: you won't accept a guys tongue in your mouth but you'll eat that?

I would think you would just eat it how you like it...try em a few different ways...this is precisely why your girlfriend has your balls...because you can't even make a simple decision like how to eat your damn lunch!
Man... your balls have had it. Your girlfriend has them, and DH girlie just busted them... ouch!!!

I was addressing another issue (see above post) and did not see that lob until now...

holy crap...wtf was THAT all about...first he has no balls and happily admits it and sets himself up for abuse about it...now he's claiming a week with his gay uncle and it might be rubbing off? You know I'm wondering if he throws out those subliminal "oh please abuse me statements" and sits in front of his monitor rubbin his ween when we rip on him...I know he gets off on it.
