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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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?

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.
Are we talking about celebrities we've met around town? Lou Diamond Phillips. Less exciting, Jim Varney.

"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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
People need to stop talking about sushi now, since I can't have any for dinner.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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?

I thought I was being adventurous and enjoying sushi until I found out I was just eating the pickled ginger.
ha! Of course, the pickled ginger IS delicious!
As is pickled okra!
I'm sure I've had raw beef but I can't remember. It seems I must have and I would have liked it...but maybe I've never had it. I've no sense memory of it at all.
Love raw veggies and fish (but, sushi != raw fish!, although I do love the raw fish sushi options).
Of course wishing I had some sushi for dinner right now but will make do w/ leftover crab pasta.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I definitely support starting out on sushi with cucumber rolls or something else non-fishy, because it's the other flavors (including the ginger) that I think are the make-or-break on enjoying it. I could be wrong.
