OT The Sushi Thread

[ABM]

I had never tried sushi....until I met my wife, She's, like, 100% full-bore into the stuff. Me? The jury is still out. Maybe it's just the "rawness" of the concept. Dunno.

Anyway, those of you who are sold on sushi, sell me (the novice) on something worthy of trying.

Thanks in advance.

 

[ABM]

Sorry, meant for OT.

Spider and spicy California rolls are my top two.

you just made Anthony Bourdain roll over in his grave...he hated nothing more than westernized versions of sushi...he devoted an episode to that and talked about why you shouldn't make a sushi roll out of western sandwich fixings..he called it his main pet peeve in cullinary trends

The Slydog pizza....a flour tortilla with a slice of Velveeta cheese and some diced cold hot dogs on top sitting on a bed of Heinz Ketchup!

Westernized sushi is dope. Usually Koreans making the fusion.

I really want ABM to sink his teeth into some raw sea urchin roe....would make my day! He wants to try sushi...don't give him Arby's sushi or the Taco Bell roll!

Sushi is great, anything with tempura is good. Dragon roll is the bomb. Also they usually have chicken katsu at sushi places and that is great too.

It still comes in chicken…

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Is there any sushi with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?

 

[riverman]

Now, katsu can be found everywhere from convenience store takeaway bento boxes, to yoshoku (Western-style Japanese food) eateries and katsu specialty restaurants. The dish is primarily made with pork cutlet, but can also be made with chicken, minced meat, and seafood.Aug 18, 2016

didn't know it was used for chicken or other meats....in any japanese restaurant you order katsu and you get a breaded pork cutlet....never seen it in any other form in Taiwan or Japan....might be a newer thing in the westernized
sushi world

It’s been around in Japan in chicken form as well, it’s just panko breaded, which you can use other meats anyway
