Sushi
Either you like it or you don’t. I didn’t realize how long I had been eating it until the question came up over dinner with some of my besties. I also remember the first time I tried it. I had just broken up with my boyfriend who actually liked it, though I would never try it when I was with him. Please note this was back in 1991! I was asked out on a date with “Greg” and he asked me if I wanted to go out for sushi. It was a first date and I was feeling rather brave – so I said yes. Greg was so amazing. He knew it was my first time trying it so we started with the “beginners” sushi. For those who don’t know, a California roll is categorized as beginner. The “crab” in California roll is not “real” crab. It is actually made of Pollack and formed to look like crab.
Now I love to eat sashimi – which is just the sushi. I prefer to enjoy my raw fish without and rice.
My typical order contains the following:
- Maguro sashimi which is a kind of tuna.
- Hamachi sashimi which is yellow tail
- Toro sashimi which is the most expensive cut of a tuna

How about you?
Are you a sushi eater? Do you play it safe with the beginner style sushi or do you try some of the braver cuts? Also how long have you been eating sushi?
