New thing... Sushi

[arthur_p_dent]

Yesterday a coworker was ordering sushi for her lunch, and she asked if I was interested. At first I declined, but then though “what the hell - why not?”. I don’t know if there’s any real reason why I’ve never tried it before. I guess I don’t really go out of my way for seafood in general, so more than likely it’s just never come up.

So after spending what felt like forever looking at the menu (mostly because almost everything had cucumbers in it, which I can’t stand), I finally settled on a Jamaican Roll. Kind of a timid first step since it used smoked salmon - so no raw fish this time. Overall it wasn’t bad. I did have one revelation - after the first bite I remembered that I don’t really like salmon. But there were enough other flavours, plus a little spice, that helped keep the salmon from being too prominent.

Will I try it again? Yes.
Will it be something different? Definitely.

I think Sushi is one of those things that has pretty polarized opinions - love it or hate it. I’m interested to see what other think

Sushi is delicious, though definitely not for everyone. I prefer crab myself, and the rolls where the seaweed is in the middle rather than on the outside.

I'm glad your first overture went decently, and I hope the next experience is better. :)

Thinking about crab for my next attempt. It’s something I’ve never had though, so I was a bit hesitant to take that big of a leap my first time out.
Maybe this week, we’ll see. Whenever I do try it, it’ll be another “new thing”, so I’ll end up posting about it. :)

Most of it tends to be imitation crab, but I personally find it delicious. I hope your next attempt goes well, and maybe you will find a friend to share your lunch/dinner with. :)

At the very least I owe my coworker lunch, since the last one was her treat. After that, who knows? I can’t recall anyone else I know even mentioning sushi before, but if I start getting into it on a regular basis I’ll have to ask around. :)

Returning the favour is a start :) And who knows, maybe you'll find an unexpected person who likes sushi, or is at least willing to try it. :)

That would be ideal. I do enjoy broadening my experiences with different types of food, and I find it easier to make that effort when I can share it with someone else.

Sharing things with others is more fun, too :)

It certainly can be. =]
