It's the best tasting (if you like it) but what other category is it best in? And as far as relative tastiness of foods I don't see how any food could be described as arguably the best in the world. there is no accounting for taste afterall.Last edited by Geronimo; October 3, 2004, 22:35. -
I think the many regional variations of italian food are the best. Then I think japanese food (other then sushi) comes in a high score for taste and elegance.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Hydrogenated oil that's found in about 95% of the processed food in the supermarket are 100 times more dangerous than sushi.
Luckily now most stores have natural peanut butter and now hydrogenated-fat free popcorn so Ted is back in business.
Giving up popcorn was killing me.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

I dunno, I'm a very adventerous in my culinary habits so I find eating exotic foods to be fun. It's always great to freak out the Mrs by ordering eels or seaweed or something like that.Originally posted by Geronimo

My ultimate dream is trying "Tora-Fugu", supposedly the most poisonous but also the most delicious of the puffer fish.Last edited by monkspider; October 3, 2004, 22:01.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

But the difference between foods like sushi and Tora-Fugu is that for Tora-Fugu the risk is controllable. When prepared correctly the risk is zero. When eating raw sushi that was never frozen, irradiated or otherwise treated to kill the worms there is nothing you can do to control the risk.Originally posted by monkspider

Wasabi isn't spicy at all. Its not even hot. Its just very very bitter and nauseous. I remember when I ate it, I ate a whole scoop of it because it looked like mint ice cream.
Sorry, but I'm just trying to imagine that...

It still tastes good if prepared wrong. You just have added ingredients to put you out of your misery.Originally posted by Whaleboy

No problem, I was never insane enough to try uncooked dead fish anyway.

You people are wimps. I've had beef tartare* in small local places in Paris. Sushi is perfectly safe compared to that.
*ground raw beef served with a raw egg on top and chips (french fries) on the side.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Yeah, but your odd.You people are wimps. I've had beef tartare
I, however, am completely normal and I eat raw fish. However, I follow my dad's rule of thumb on that one; don't eat raw fish if you can't see the ocean.Comment
