I LOVE SUSHI !<\/u><\/b>
\nDISCLAIMER<\/b> : the following isn’t vegetarian safe.
\nI ate the greatest Sushi today. The selection was very large, and I tried some new types of fish I didn\u2019t even know existed. The food came on small plastic plates, and there was some pickled sweet-sour ginger in a box on the table that you can take from. No Wassabi though. There was no need for Wassabi. There were plenty in the sushi itself. You basically ordered the food by placing small plastic \u201cname tags\u201d on the counter next to your table, and then the chef will make it. Each dish would come on a different plate, and the have color coding for the plates so you know how much money you are supposed to pay (See Pictures)<\/a>. Most of the dishes came on a few stacked plates. I stayed away from the sea foods. I don\u2019t really like all those Shrimps, and Calamari, and Squids, and other weird stuff. I had some new stuff I didn\u2019t eat before, like some fried egg on rice (don\u2019t know how they call it) and some kinds of fish, and 3 kinds of Tuna, from different Parts. There was a regular one, and two other fatter ones. The real fatty one came on a big stack of plates! I also had a cucumber Nuri cone which was full of Wassabi. Nelson thought it was too much Wassabi. I though it was exactly the right amount: A lot! There\u2019s also something I hear very common in sushi. It\u2019s the rice covered with some fried egg. I havn\u2019t tried it before. But then again, I haven\u2019t eaten so much sushi, or maybe it\u2019s not common in Israel…<\/p>\n

Some background about me and my relation to Sushi.<\/u>
\nI didn\u2019t like Sushi so much. I never hated it, I really liked the seaweed Nuri pages, but I really didn\u2019t care much for Sushi at all. Me and Lee used to go with Jonathan, and Uri, two of our friends to Onami (is that their name?) it\u2019s this WAY expensive restaurant in Tel-Aviv, and Jonathan would eat a dinner for about … a 1500-2000 shekels, while I\u2019ll eat a small bowl of Miso soup (I liked that all along) and one or two small sushi rolls. I\u2019d always leave hungry and still pay about 100 shekels. Later when Sushi was more popular you could eat it for a cheaper price, but it wasn\u2019t very good. I did always like the pickled sweet and sour ginger and Wassabi. Speaking of Wassabi they have this wonderful Wassabi peanut thing here, it\u2019s like Kabukim only with Wassabi ! it\u2019s Great ! I\u2019m gonna bring some home for the gang, and Lee already got some from me with a special delivery. Back to the Sushi story, One day Lee and Dana ordered some vegetarian Sushi at this restaurant (Dana and Ori B. are the \u201cThursday Evening Dinner Club\u201d\u2019s official vegetarians.). Dana and Ori used to order Sushi often, but this time was different. Lee and Dana couldn\u2019t finish their big plate of Sushi. So I came to their help. I ate quiet a few Maki rolls with cucumbers, carrots and stuff, and it was quite good. A long after that Lee decided she wants to make and serve some \u201cMake your own sushi<\/a>\u201d at her birthday party<\/a>. (See<\/a> pictures<\/a>). There was A LOT of sushi there, and about the same amount more in the fridge and another bowl of sticky rice ready to prepare. I eat Sushi for about a week and a half after the party. So I Kinda got used to the taste. One of the things I made was Sushi with Smoked Salmon from the supermarket. It\u2019s actually pretty good. Jonathan would probably have hated it and make fun of me for even thinking to eat it. Well… that\u2019s him. Anyways, that\u2019s how I got to like sushi.
\nI could have told the same story in one line: I didn\u2019t care for sushi. Lee started eating sushi. She got me eating sushi. Now I like sushi.
\nI think the longer story is more interesting. Besides, I\u2019m not forcing anyone to read it…anyone besides you. Yes, You! If you ever stop reading this blog I\u2019m gonna rip your throat out!

\nKeep having fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
