sushi

[low_delta]

The word "sushi" refers to the rice and vinegar mix that was traditionally used to preserve raw fish, and eventually became a staple of raw fish dishes.

"Sashimi" is the word for raw fish.

That's how you can get vegetarian sushi - rice with flesh free fillings.

I had heard it "wasn't really called sushi" but never got the explanation. That's interesting. I would still rather read about it than taste it, tho.

I'd rather see it than eat it. My line is usually, "isn't it pretty, and so cleverly presented?" And I'm thinking, 'it's RAW fish!'

[emschin.livejournal.com]

LOL! Exactly.

So, then, people who scoff at vegetarian sushi, claiming it to not be "real" sushi, are indeed wrong! HA!

Thank you so much for this piece of information!
