Sushi must’ve nene invented by a poor student
“Man, I’m hungry. What do I have left? Let’s see… cold rice, soy sauce, a few small chunks of fish from yesterday and there’s some seaweed growing in the fish tank? There has to be a way to turn this into something!”
In Japan, sushi is definitely one of the more expensive foods. You can’t really use yesterday’s fish as authentic sushi uses fresh fish which you can’t eat the next day for obvious reasons.
Uhh what? Sushi is cheap as fuck in Japan (compared to north America at least … and tastes way way better).
And nearly all sushi is caught weeks before it is served. Although it is kept frozen until then.
But it’s like triple the price of ramen or Yoshinoya - and that’s the cheap sushi. Real sushi isn’t a leftover recipe, it’s an art by real chefs.
People started putting all kinds of fillings into sushi like chicken, beef, sausages, vegetables and whatnot. So… fresh fish ain’t a requisite for sushi anymore.
Isn’t that kimbap? I think sushi is raw fish or sashimi when using raw meat. And the Korean kimbap uses cooked meats. I could be wrong, but I think those are the differences.
I make sushi weekly.
I’ve had thanksgiving sushi - turkey, rice, cranberries and breenbeans
Pizza sushi - rice pepperoni, pizza sauce and cream cheese
Normal fish sushis
Burger sushi, old burg meat, tomato, lettuce and cucumbers
Also made special sushi for my dog that had rice and various scraps of meat/chicken feet etc…
It’s literally endless. It’s 100% my new sandwich sin e I’ve stopped buying all breads
Too much fish is a bad thing, keep that in mind.
Any non-zero amount is a bad thing tbf
Well no, little bits of mercury are fine. It’s when you eat so much that your body can’t keep it at acceptable levels that it becomes a problem.
OP, what region are you from? I remember sushi being really cheap in Sydney and it was considered a go-to for students. But here in the States it’s more expensive and (at least in Dallas and Denver) you don’t really want to go to anything less than a sit-down restaurant for it.
I assume the coastal regions have significantly cheaper sushi than Dallas and Denver.
I don’t think I could ever get sick of sushi!
Ew, raw fish.
Not everything has to be chicken nuggies and potatoes.
Funnily enough, my country cuisine is very rich and varied. Did you know fishs have the most parasites of all animals. So much in fact that i heard some people that study parasitology stop eating fishes at all, let alone raw. Enjoy.
That’s what they flash freeze the fish for. Kills the worms.
Rich and varied nuggies?
Saltwater fish that are generally consumed raw have less parasites than freshwater fish.
There’s also strict regulations about how the fish has to be kept frozen at certain temperatures for certain lengths of time to kill off all parasites.
This poster is obviously not a shark.
No No No ! I am definitely a shark. I uh… Am on diet, yeah ! I definitely like raw fish, mmmm, raw fish… Being vegetarian would be a disgrace to any shark.
So we can be hungry again in time for supper? Lol
But seriously sushi is amazing
