I have never tried Sushi...which, as someone who adores everything Japanese so utterly, seems quite odd. It's not that I haven't had the chance or anything, there's actually a really good Japanese restaurant in Cambridge, but whenever I go I always stick to Ramen or something, why not Sushi? Simple; I fucking *hate* fish!
And I mean HATE, i'm a notoriously picky eater at the best of times (some say picky...I say I have standards
) and stay well away from anything I don't like, but fish, and seafood in general come to think of it, is a complete no-no from the outset...and RAW fish?!? Are you fucking kidding!
However never let it be said that I resist something without at least giving it a chance...so last night my Sushi embargo was lifted and I gave it a try...and what did I think? Well, after sampling 3 or 4 different things I came to the sage conclusion that it tastes like raw fish and vegetables...why in god's name anyone would actually want to eat this foul affront to my delicate taste I have no idea? :/ I know one thing for sure though...I certainly won't be having it again
On a slightly different note I watched Howl's Moving Castle last night...now THAT was a Japanese export I found considerably more palatable (oooooo see what I did there? eh? eh?)...as with all of Miyazaki-san's movies it is an absolute joy to watch; art, animation, sound, story, voiceovers are all perfection...if Hollywood showed this much craftsmanship in movies instead of churning out generic multiplex fodder then people might start going to see them again
