On the one hand, having a guided experience like that from somebody that knows the "proper" way of doing things is a very good thing.

On the other hand, I hate snobbery when it becomes sort of evangelical to the point of "saving people from ruining their meal". Maybe they like "candy sushi" rolls, dipped into soy sauce mixed with wasabi to the point of being salt bombs. I do. AND I like good nagiri the "proper" way also.

Dude! This was just wipped up from random items in the kitchen. The 3 sushi rolls, salads, basil fried rice and Vietnamese beef was fuckin awesome! I was very impressed with the bro.

Those are the biggest damn sushi rolls I've ever seen!

Thank you!!
I died laughing when the sushi roll pooped out his rice in fear!

I commend your bravery.

Just don't mistake your own fingers for white rice.

Either that or get a tan whitey

I've yet to see any of my Japanese friends goto a Japanese restaurant serving sushi rolls.
I'm beginning to suspect sushi rolls are more of an American trend, because none of them ever go for it.


Sushi is actually the rice. Sushi originated as a way to preserve fish from spoiling; the rice was wrapped around the fish. Originally the rice was discarded and just the fish was eaten.

A form of sushi rice wrapped around fish and other ingredients was called haya-sushi, and it originated in the early 1600s. The fish and rice were meant to be eaten together. There are paintings of roll-style sushi dating to the mid-1800s.

Now, novel ingredients like avocado and fried chicken is definitely a much more recent and Western innovation. But roll-style sushi has been around for a very long time, even if its ingredients and style of preparation have changed.

Kinda like how American Chinese food has originated from China, but actual Chinese would have never tasted them.

so what's up with testing the cars behind a 747? Is that really a problem in some areas where you might be following a jet to work? Also, who knew the weinerdog mobile and a giant sushi roll was crash tested.
