I regard fish and beef as two widely divergent things when it comes to cooking... there probably aren't too many people who like their steak cooked more thoroughly than I, but I love the taste of raw sushi-grade tuna.

No to raw fish or meat. Yes to raw oysters and broccoli.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, lordie. I read BusinessWeek's tech section because they have pretty shiny pictures, but I also get to read jewels such as this:
Facebook can be a compelling way for the over-35 crowd to keep in touch with friends and family. Still, it's got different rules from sites such as LinkedIn, and it's a whole new way of communicating for a demographic that went through college without cell phones, the Web, and e-mail. If you're pushing 40 on Facebook, you'll probably never qualify as cool, but you can avoid major social-networking taboos. Herewith, Facebook 101 for old folks.
The 101 is basically lame, but still.

No to raw fish or meat. Yes to raw oysters and broccoli.
Living in the middle of the US, I have to vote no to all raw meat. On the coast however, I would love to try sushi with someone experienced who could be the guide. We have a few sushi restaurants in town, I'm just not sure how accurate a taste they are. As it is, I am sheltered enough to picture Gollum eating the fish from the river when someone mentions sushi.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't think there's much of a difference between sushi near an ocean and in the middle of the country anymore. Almost all sushi in the US is flash frozen and you can overnight anything anywhere. Which is not to say the quality of, say, a Japanese restaurant is as good where there aren't a lot of Japanese people. Just that the fish is not necessarily better here than a two hour plane ride away.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I live in the middle and there are some great sushi restaurants here. Of course, I live in a big city in the middle, but still.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No sushi or raw fish for me. I ate sushi once when I was drunk, but I do lots of foolish things when I'm drunk.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I only do cooked sushi, veggie sushi, or in very small doses, tuna rolls. Also, it is some weird physics of sushi that I never find it a filling meal.
(Do: raw vegetables of all kinds except possibly okra. Don't: raw shellfish of any kind. Do: rare but not raw beef. Don't: rare any other kind of animal critter.)

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
See, I think this is where it would be a benefit to wait until I was with someone who had some sushi experience. I thought I was being adventurous and enjoying sushi until I found out I was just eating the pickled ginger.

Nutty, have you ever had pickled okra? It's certainly not to everyone's taste, but I find it nummy.
