Day 17: More Sashimi, Please

Whenever anyone asks me where I want to go to eat, I say, "I will eat anything except for sushi or Indian food." I actually haven't had sushi or Indian food before, but my guess has always been that I wouldn't like either.

I go to Japanese restaurants regularly, with both family and friends. I like Sakura Garden, Ichiro, Feng, Ginza, and Oyama... but I go for the sirloin steak hibachi. Don't get me wrong, I love fish... I just like my fish cooked. I had food poisoning once before from eating undercooked chicken, so eating completely uncooked fish has to be really bad for you, right? Well, my family and friends LOVE sushi/sashimi/rolls. I've been offered tastes of their raw fish before, but always offer my polite, "No thanks." I've had edamame (I know that doesn't count) and a sweet potato roll before... just not raw fish.

So, I decided to dive right into raw fish when I went out to lunch with a friend today. In addition to the California roll that came with my teriyaki beef, I sampled some white tuna sashimi, too. Surprisingly, I really liked the sashimi... even moreso when I dipped it in soy sauce. So, from now on, when I'm asked where I want to go to eat, I can say, "I will eat anything except Indian food." Maybe I can add Indian food to my list for the summer? Who knows? I might end up liking that, too. There are still 43 days left.
