if they didn't know what tey were doing, they probaply didn't do it at all...

have you ever actually been to an american sushi place? i've heard bad things <<

i've never had sushi...i'm afraid to try it outside of japan...i'm afraid it would not be made right

Who here would try Fugu?

I don't know,I can't stand most of japanese food.I guess is just a matter of get used to it,japaneses are already used to that kind of food and non-japaneses usually are not.But it's still popular worldwide I suppose.

why!!!!!?????
 

becouse it Cold Fish! Raw!!! Not cook!!:mtongue:

anyway when I was in japan, My group when to a sushi bar in Hiroshima,
it was one of those that had a moving belt with all kind of sushi dishes on it.
at the time I I consumed a total of nine dishes, and was about to swallow number 10.
When suddenly, my stomach started to turn with the feeling of throwing up!
I quickly hightale to the nearest men's room, and let everything I ate out, ( Boy! did It Stink!)
After I let it out, I quickly exited the men's room, Pay my bil, and got the hell out of their quickly!!!l:ywave:

Anyway, Every once in awhile I still have Some sushi At the local Chinese restaurants, Here in New York City

common misconception

sushi is NOT raw...it's seared

「or as they say in Japanese "Juunin Toiro" 」

what does that mean?

-idea
-literal, word-to-word translation

Oh and for the topic question:

I've never tried sushi but I'm going to, as soon as I go to Japan! I hope I'll like it ^^

I didnt try sushi till i went to japan; just as well i liked it seeing as i practicallly lived off'f it :D

onr thing; sushi and sashimi is NOT the same thing; i'm vegetarien; all teh sushi i eat is veggie; no fish or meat of any kind; and i LOVE IT :D ;)

I will honestly say that I also thought it was raw as I've had it before and well as you said common misconception, could you elaborate on the meaning of seared please?
