I converted many a people by starting them with a simple roll, and then moving onto other things. Heck, even my 3 yr old grandson eats sushi! And popcorn (edamame).
Do you have conveyor belt sushi out there? We have sushi envy here and I love it. It's all you cam eat, has a selection of about 30 rolls and 20 sushi pieces and goes around the room on a conveyor belt. You just reach up and take the ones you want, and the chef is there making fresh to replace. It's my favorite place. |
You know what? I used to not like octopus. Had a fear of the tentacles, don't ask. I had octopus at a Greek place and it changed my whole perspctive on it. I thought the Japanese has seafood down, oh no! "Tako" in sushi is hard and chewy, served cold. The Greek way is chunks of the arm, grilled on a bbq or something. So soft, tender and chewy, the "buffalo wing of the sea" I'm famous for saying (ask Lisa). Had some today again at another Greek place, same tenderness that is totally lacking at sushi places.
And yes, the conveyor belt sushi places around here are like the McDonalds of beef. Not good but cheap, and satisfying if you're not picky.
