What have you tried recently that you have never tried before because 'you don't like it' or have discovered!?

For me it is Sushi.

I was put off by the thought of eating raw fish, except when I was at Kat's hen do and we made it, I discovered that not ALL sushi is just raw fish.

I just had some duck and hoi sin ones

tuesday I has some tuna and veg ones.

Tis healthy too apparently.

technically sushi ISN'T Fish. It's a common misconception.

Sushi is the vinegar rice, I believe sashimi is the raw fish. When comined it's known as nigirizushi which I think is where 'sushi' probably came from.

I always get stick at work for eating vegetarian sushi, because people go "how you can have vegetarian sushi!?" but I love it - specially with loads of soy and wasabi. NOM!!

I LOVE sushi. Tis the best.

I discovered I like black jelly babies. Always thought they were gonna taste of liquorice (which I don't mind but am not overly keen on) and they were a black berry flavour

Nom nom nom nom nom!

Exactly !!!

In a lot of sushi sushi restaurants you can get stuff like chilli beef with rice, fried chicken with rice, deep friend prawns, fried dumplings, different type of curries, miso soups, noodles, and then there is the Sashimi, and nigirizushi + loads more.

Thinking sushi is all raw fish is like thinking all Italian food is pizza.

Just check out Yo! Sushi's menu, there are LOTS of choices !

I'm hooked on Veg Tempura. I love that stuff!

Kitten · 24-04-2009, 22:30

lol, I ate at Yo Sushi just this lunchtime! Not bad for someone allergic to fish

I also ADORE Vegetable tempura. Had it in a japanese restaurant in San Fran a few years back and was like OMG!!

Liver. I had it last at school and hated it, but we had it in a food tasting at work the other day, so I thought 'why not' and actually rather liked it. Also bubble and squeak, never appealed to me before but the food tasting one was delish.

Goulash. Was expecting some insipid sort of soupy stew type thing, but actually enjoyed a very tasty meal with some exceptionally tender beef. Will be making again.

Goulash is a recent rediscovery for me. Love thew stuff, thanks to a visit to Prague for rekindling my memory
