raw vegetables of all kinds except possibly okra
Nutty, have you ever had pickled okra? It's certainly not to everyone's taste, but I find it nummy.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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?

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.

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?

Punishingly Intricate
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.

Hee! Sorry, lurker, the superfantabulous Japanese restaurant is over here in Arizona. Guess I segued all the way out of the state without realizing it.

LOL. That's okay, I thought maybe sushi was the hidden gem of Wichita. Who knew?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My youngest sister won't eat the raw fish version of sushi. However, Nori is the taste she sometimes can't take.
so this

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Interesting article on spherical perspective: [link]
I'm here to undermine your world view. We always assume that what we are taught about perspective is the way we actually see. But it's not. In the outside world there are straight lines, so we put them that way into our pictures. We have developed complicated schemes of geometrical rules to guide us. We take photos with cameras that have lenses that carefully distort the world to make it fit with the expectation that straight line should be straight. But visually they are not.
