Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Are we talking about celebrities we've met around town? Lou Diamond Phillips. Less exciting, Jim Varney.
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.)
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.
People need to stop talking about sushi now, since I can't have any for dinner.
Mmm, sushi. Wichita was a little shaky for fish. But we lucked out here with our Iron Chef chef and a restaurant proprietor who flies everything in from Japan & Hawaii. And who will add our fish order to his regular shipment upon request. So I can get fresh ahi for delicious seared ahi dishes.

Liese S., which restaurant is that, if you don't mind? I may have to go explore sometime this week.
edited to add: Did you mean the one actually named Iron Chef in Derby?
