Sushi

I don't hate fish. I dislike it though.

Today I went out with my friend Kristi who I haven't seen in a while. She's to go back to England for the fourth time in the last year. One year ago she left with me for England, and for her it turned out to be everything that she thought it would be and now has a grand love affair with England.

She suggested sushi. Now I don't eat a whole lot, but I've been known to grab some sushi alternatives at the sushi bar, however today I buckled down and sample things beyond my usual fare. I had actual sushi, everything from salmon to soft shell crab and octopus.

The worst of the bunch was the soft shell crab, the taste did not agree with me and I did gag a little.

Overall Sushi tonight left me full, but sort of unsatisfied since I wasn't really into it. Though I got some ice cream and carrot cake to take care of the unpleasant flavours. I won't turn sushi down, but I won't be the first to jump in line for it either.

It's a funny place to be in, an Asian that doesn't like fish. It's been that way since I was a kid, although when I was really young I ate it. Not sure what happened in that span, maybe it's just that fishy taste. The thing that really bothers me is the seaweed they wrap it in, some of the most distinct and strong flavours of any food.

I might sound picky here, but I really tried to expand my taste buds further tonight, whether you want to call it a success or not.

All I know is I survived my battle with sushi.
