Sushi Devotee

The whole family loves sushi! Raw fish. Seaweed. Rice. Crisp veggies! Udon soup. What’s not to love?  The local sushi place is nearby and quite good. I tell Hubby it’s our job as Americans to promote small businesses, so we eat there once a week.

When the kiddos deign to join us, we request a table, but when it’s just me and Hubby, nothing beats a seat at the sushi bar.

A few sushi bar musings:

The sushi chef becomes your new best friend! And he really likes you if you order him a quail egg shooter.
I wonder what the sushi chef’s real name is–cuz it ain’t Bruce!
We’re more likely to try a new roll if the person next to us is eating it.
Any item with the word volcano in it has to be good.
Two types of people hang out at the sushi bar.                                                             1. Those who talk and laugh with the strangers sitting next to them.                                       2. Those who give dirty looks. ( get a table, grouchy people )

Case in point: I asked the woman with a plate of green slimy stuff, “Which seaweed salad is that? It looks delicious!”                                       She looked up, did one of those side- way eye rolls, and resumed eating. A total blow-off  or “dis” as my students say.

 

The slice of the sushi roll is always too big for one (normal) sized mouth.
What are the sushi chefs really yelling about?
Just how big of a rice bin is under the counter? I have yet to see it refilled.
We’ll eat anything if it’s rolled in rice and resembles a work of art!
Hubby orders an embarrassing amount of food.
I eat less because it’s difficult to shovel food in your mouth with chopsticks. (Hubby asks for a fork–the horror!)
There’s something very dainty and refined about picking up a single grain of rice with chopsticks.
It’s great fun to take a sushi virgin and  watch them eat the “avocodo” (aka: wasabi).
All chopsticks can NOT be broken apart.
They never give you enough edamame
Edamame doubles as pea shooters.
I’m a ginger junkie.

Do you have any sushi musings or stories to share?
