do you speak from experience, yarbuckle?
indisputably, it's cheaper and more easily available.

Yeah, I guess that's what I meant by "better"...

regardless, it's plenty fine! there are also some interesting North American innovations on the roll (or maki), which Japanese sushi cuisine doesn't focus on as much.

I think Anthony Bourdain did a show in your fair city, yarb, and spent some time on the sushi there. I was agape.

Do you know what though? I can't stand California rolls. I quite like the BC Roll (salmon skin) but only if there's not too much skin. Current favourite Japanese eats: unagi don (eel and rice), umeboshi maki.
I didn't know Bourdain had been here, cb. He seems like a decent chap.

well, Cali rolls are pretty well stamped with the Swinish Multitude label by now; you're not supposed to like them. The rule is, Adults Eat Salmon Nigiri (and hippies Umbeboshi Maki :P)

Of course I eat salmon nigiri, what normal person doesn't? But I've been craving umeboshi all day now. My tongue aches for it! If that makes me a hippie, then let's all sit crosslegged and sing kumbayah.

reesetee, unagi don is cooked! How can you not like terriyaki-flavored barbecued fish over rice? It's not bone food, after all. :)
Dontcry, are you liking that book?

I am liking it so far. Just a few chapters into it though - but I like the way he writes. I'll let you know when I've finished.

How can I not like it? Easy. It's eel, right? Eel = Eew.
Although I must admit that in theory, it does sound appetizing. :-)

Cooked eel, though, and with no bones. Just a nice, white fish in yummy bite-size pieces. Besides, eel is such a great word.
