I’ll keep saying this until you get it right: I like my sushi well done.

Rolls are for watching baseball.

#10: Tastes vary, but sushi is pretty good stuff. When I can afford it, I like sushi.

Greg Allen says:

I have eaten a ZILLION pieces of sushi in Japan, with Japanese so I was ready to criticize this video but I think he gets it right.

One small point though — I don’t remember the Japanese bring too worried about the respect of the sushi chef. That seems to be more of an American thing.

>> ANd for God’s sake, don’t order a California Roll. That’s not sushi. You might as well just order fish-n-chips.

It depends on your view of culture — is it static or is is dynamic?

If you define Japanese culture by the Meiji period or something, then, of course, California Roll isn’t real sushi.

But I see it differently — Japanese culture has gone global and California Roll is as authentically Japanese as is, let’s say, baseball and pop girl bands.

>> Sushi is best when eaten by someone else. Preferably not my date. Please tell me why raw fish is so damned much more expensive than cooked?

It’s pretty interesting (and absurdly indulgent and un-green) how they airlift a fish halfway around the world to the sushi restaurants in Japan.

Of course the sushi we eat isn’t given that same treatment but keeping a fish fresh from sea to restaurant is more expensive than fish sticks.

Americans can eat it any damn way they please. We settled that issue in August 1945.
