Since there hasn't been any food topic lately smile.gif I decided to start this one biggrin.gif

How many of you guys like Sushi? I also found this very cool device that allows you to make Sushi at home and I am planning to get it for myself biggrin.gif http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/sushezi-sushi-made-easy/

I normally don't like fish dishes, but I love sushi. Normally it is in a running sushi place

Yes I like sushi. I have even worked in restaurant that made sushi.

There was this diploma sushi chef from Japan. He didn't speak any English except few words. We had Finnish/Japanese guy who translated everything.

The restaurant ordered once in a while this huge tuna from Spain and it took 2 people to carry the fish into kitchen tongue.gif
Then the sushi master cut it into pieces with his huge knife. There was a video of it but I can't find it. But his moves were impressive.

You should try to make sushi without any devices. First ones maybe bad but once you get a hold of it...it's quite rewarding smile.gif

And ladies like it wink.gif

I love the stuff! Me and my Girlfriend make it pretty often!

Not sure if i need this device anymore cause, Like WEE PEE said, once you've done it a bunch of times it becomes quite easy, and rewarding!
Although it would have been great at the beginning. Saved a lot of frustration and bad words tongue.gif

I love Sushi and have done it many times myself.

I really don't think you need this device, just the classic sushi making stuff will do the job biggrin.gif

No, not that I remember really...

Shoulda paid more attention... this forum wasn't for me. You're right, he did say "Lovers" of Sushi, that was probably just a tad too raw...

I've grown to like it more and more. My wife introduced me to it and I was very opposed to trying it. I'm still not big on the raw tuna but I do love the California rolls with the crab and avocado. Love shrimp sushi too. So the rice with shrimp on top with a dash of wasabi and soy sauce is tasty. Now you got me thinking of getting some sushi soon. smile.gif

Now that you mention it, the shrimp sushi that I tried was rather tasty... tongue.gif

However I would not recommend the gold fish...

Oh man! I'd love to be able to make it but I've never tried smile.gif My Sensei and Sempai both know how to do it so I guess I can learn from them smile.gif

Sushi suddenly became very popular here late 1990's/early 2000. I liked it the first time I tried it, but have over-eaten sushi some periods. Recently, I had sushi for lunch, and for the first time in a year or more I really felt how GOOD it was.

If you want to make rolls, I suppose those devices can come in handy. However, nigiri (a blob of rice with a piece of something on it) is easy to make with the right ingredients.

Oh, and sushi isn't necessarily raw fish, although it is a very common ingredient.

I know nigiri as well and if I am not mistaken, you can make it with your hands just like you would make a round hamburger biggrin.gif
