MS>> I wouldn't force myself to eath Sushi in Japan either.
CS> Nor should you!  Gosh, sushi is just a tiny bit of what they offer and
CS> most sushi is vegetarian.

MS> Wow, I didn't know that. Usually everyone associates sushi with fish h

Thats ok.  It got popularized that way somehow.  It's not totally
inaccurate to ¨associate the two as when they do put 'meat' in there, it's
normally seafood ¨meat.  I'd hazard a guess that 40% (maybe slightly less)
have 'fish' in them?


CS> You might be thinking of sashimi (raw fish).  I
CS> happen to love sashimi too but it's not for everyone.

MS> I never heard that, but I assume you are right anyway.

MS> The "fish in a bowl" in "Zak McKracken and the alien
mindbenders" PC
MS> adventure game, 1988) is called "Sushi". It seems Zak
should have name
MS> sashimi then. :)

Grin, happens all the time!  Most 'sushi' fish are cooked.  There are other
¨types of 'sushi' which arent wrapped in seaweed and can be pretty close to
some ¨types of sashimi, even having uncooked fish in them, but it's not the
'common' ¨thing here.  I wouldnt be suprised at all if served 'raw fish' as
'sushi' at ¨someplace outside Asia.
