japanese sushi

Do many people think all japanese people eat Sushi? not all Japanese like to eat Sushi, even it is Japanese food. There were few Japanese who hate Sushi, fish. So is Chinese, not all of them like Chinese food, all Italians don't eat spaghetti, Pizza everyday. People have all sorts of preconceptions and generalisations they love to haul out. When you live in the areas you have those ideas about, you will find the people just have their own culture that may be a bit different to your own, but in essence they're people just like you and me.

5 Things that Simply Shouldn't Be Found In Sushi

Foreword

Let me begin this by explaining: I'm not a sushi purist by any means. I'm not one of those people who turns their nose up at non-traditional or fusion-inspired sushi because it's "not really Japanese" and insists on boring everyone at the table with never-ending rants about how traditional Japanese sushi is more satisfying than Americanized sushi. I think California Rolls are delicious and just as acceptable as a traditional tuna roll and I'm pretty open to playing around with my sushi. All that aside, there are some things that should never be made into sushi, and here is my top list of things I've found, while perusing the web for new recipes, that just made me raise my eyebrows and say "...really?!?"

5. BBQ Chicken Sushi

I'm willing to accept a lot of experimentation in my sushi, but I have to draw the line somewhere. I love BBQ chicken. I love sushi. I just don't think I love them in the same mouthful. When i think of rice that I would pair with chicken, I want pungent, exciting, spicy flavors. I don't want the vinegary and sugary taste of seasoned sushi rice. Moreover, I feel the chicken would just be too stringy and tough.

4. Spam Sushi

Referred to as 'musubi' in Hawaii where it is apparently popular, this is nigiri made with hunks of spam instead of a lovely piece of raw tuna or salmon. This just doesn't seem like it would be very edible. The sushi rice is sweet and sour. The spam is salty. It doesn't seem like it would make a lot of happy in my stomach. Oh, and did I mention...it's spam. wtf?

3. Hamburger Sushi

I think I would just be able to accept this if it weren't for the little drizzle of ketchup on the top. Placing red meat in a maki roll format isn't that strange of an idea in and of itself. The problem with inserting hamburger meat into a rice roll and referring to it as sushi, however, is that it would much more appropriately be called kimbap. Kimbap is the Korean version of sushi that generally includes red meat like hamburger in its rolls instead of fish. I personally would avoid it on the basis of the common uncooked red meat apprehensions. The rolls themselves taste fine, (it's just beef and rice, after all) and hamburger meat is generally reduced to a tender enough consistency for a roll. I just think it's incorrect to refer to a hamburger roll as 'sushi', when there's another, far more correct term for it from another culture.

2. Horse Sashimi

Hmmm. According to the website I snagged this photo from, raw horse is a luxury item in some restaurants in Tokyo. Apparently the taste is similar to beef and is slighter milder in taste, with more fat marbling. Personally, I'm gonna say no to this one, cause I don't really want to have to imagine eating Seabiscuit, and I don't think it should qualify to be served in sushi restaurants anyway, since it's not fish. And it's raw red meat, again a no-no in my book.

1. Mac n' Cheese

OK I said I wasn't going to be a crazy sushi purist, but I've gotta go off on this one. What. the. hell? This is awful. This is pitiful. Macaroni and cheese is not sushi. The presentation of this plate suggests that it's being prepared by a professional chef in a restaurant, which means that some enterprising chef has found himself a cute little sushi press, filled it with mac n' cheese, and is trying to sell it as novelty sushi, surely for some unrealistically inflated price. Is that hamburger in the middle? Is this a sloppy joe in a mold? How can you call this as sushi? This is a travesty!

Ok I'm done. That's my rundown of the top 5 things I don't think should be made into 'sushi'. What do you think? What's the oddest, grossest, or most crazy 'sushi' you've ever eaten?
