California rolls do suck. Especially the kind made with "imitation crab meat", whatever that might be. However, those vegetable rolls with the mushrooms in them, taste quite good and are less costly than fish.

Well they suck with imitation crab meat. I go to a place that uses real crab meat. They don't suck.

I notice you didn't address the other complaint about Light Beer... the taste .

And what is wrong with freezing the fish? If you don't live by the ocean and you are eating seafood, it's probably been frozen to get to your plate without decomposing.

Yes, parasites and bacteria...but you realise ratios change. 10% of parasites might be due to pollution 10 years ago solved now, or some other kinds of factors.

Chop suey are some kind of American plutocratic invention to make up for the strict food importing laws. There's no such thing here in Singapore or in China, Shanghai, Malaysia, Thailand, or Korea.

Why don't you ****ing respect peoples tastes? Some of us aren't comfortable with eating raw fish.


And an expletive has to be used why? His "" probably meant he was just expressing his own taste.

And no, people who are "uncomfortable with eating raw fish" (except for safety and health reasons, which I respect) usually tend to be the culturally ignorant/narrow-minded type.

quote:
I am not sure about the "easily digestible" part. Cooked meat generally is easier to digest than raw meat.


It depends. Take a look at vegetables: broccoli tends to be easier to eat steamed, while cabbage or lettuce loses its distinct crispiness when cooked.

Raw fish tends to be less porous. Cooking fish tends to make it dry - because all the pores inside it absorb the saliva in your mouth, and you have to chew on it more, and it goes down less smoothly. Not cooking it seems to keep the insulating "membrane" on it...

Generalize much? I happen to know plenty of very intelligent people (ie, those who passed law school) who are uncomfortable with raw fish.

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.

no, see,

what i said was this:

wasabi's like any spice, though. you'd probably not want to hit it.


i didn't say it was spicy, i said it was a spice. like curry, or something.

and a lot of spices, see, give a "hot" sensation. y'know? burning, hot, tasty...?

and the "probably not want to hit it" was a reference to ted striker.

so, the probably not want to hit the spice, in this case, wasabi, even though it's hot, is a joke. see?

especially because you probably don't want it anywhere near the jewels, see?

Imitation crab meat isn't really crab meat is it? That's what I was reading off one of the labels...

gian, i wasn't serious, i just wanted to make the point. i never took any offense, hope you didn't either.

kissing someone with stubble AND wasabi is a lot less pleasant than either of those alone. just stubble is fine. just wasabi is fine. both, and you've crossed the line.

As QC pointed out, there's a risk with just about any type of food.

You could just set yourself in a self-contained bubble, and live off of broccoli and water.
