it's common misconception - you don't actually put raw fish in sushi - that's sashimi (thin slices of raw fish). Sushi is most commonly filled with smoked salmon, fish/crab stick, prawns, cucumber or avocado.

Good luck with the sushi making Bee.
Another one who's not a fan, I have a problem with certain textures, and raw fish is one of them, although people who do like it, adore it.

I know what you're thinking Frannie, but it's hard to let go.
It's 4 years next Tuesday since my Dad's funeral and I still fill up, even though he lived to be 93!
I find it hurts every mother's day (different date every year) as it was that day he died, then the actual date he died (March 26th) and then again on the date of his funeral, which was a while afterwards.


Let me change the subject a bit - how was Mark after his day back?

Erk, I really need that coffee now...

[Frannie 0]

oh see.... I didn't know that! Maybe I would enjoy it then

I did not know that, perhaps I do like sushi then

Mark was fine after first day back. In fact, his best day so far. He loves his job and the idea of working so much that it recharges hm. I really do think that's what keeping him alive... (that and my foot near his backside whenever he starts talking about being tired of it all LOLOL)

<--and Boogs = sushi virgins

Now you need a nice Rice maker Bee!!!

rice maker? you mean rice cooker?
yes that would be handy but I prefer to cook my rice in pot as I prefer my rice slightly underdone.

[bogie 0]

I glad all went well with Mark's retrun to work.

We will have to try sushi now Frannie

[inu-kijo 0]

funny you guy perk up when you think its not raw.
there are certain rolls of sushi that are best for beginners, and then you learn to acquire certain tastes and move up from there.

I am a big fan of salmon roe..... so good!!!

Salmon roe is fish egs..... delish!

[bogie 0]

hi BG

[inu-kijo 0]

and yes... cooker I meant... i really need one of those (if I ever cooked a lot of rice) I am pretty awful at making rice to be honest.....

[Toulouse 0]

this wind is scaring the h... out of me, that big tree snapped some branches already, so I'm hoping it stays with that!

[Toulouse 0]

hiya Boogs, how's you doing?

[bogie 0]

My rice cooker blew up Used to love it all the different fancy rice dishes you could make in it.

[bogie 0]

[bogie 0]

Hahaa you spotted it, I was going to say Amazing what they get them doing these days! and it's really not the weather for it!


WB, BG - it's like you're on elastic



I can't abide fish roe, even caviar, it makes me hurl - and smoked salmon (still count that as raw) and I don't like sticky cold rice either

[Bee1 0]

@kijo we used to have one (with Mr B) but used it maybe 1 a week - it's handy to have (if you have the cupboard space).

@BG glad you home safe and warm - it's awful out here too - cold, rainy, windy (snow in Scotland)

@bogie - what's in you coffee? Strip??

Bee! How are you?
At least it's not raining or snowing here (yet...), but the wind is actually quite terrible, saw a lot of damage when I drove to town.

[bogie 0]

me loon. one thing I do like is cod roe in batter, I think its because that was what our parents bought us from the chip shop when we were little, if I had know what it was I would never of eaten it

It's almost a relief not to have to chase FB postings in re PS, isn't it?

My parents used to buy it too - never liked it, all those little beads in my mouth, bleurgh!



Talking of food, I'd have thought this was an April Fool's joke if it had been tomorrow

hahaha, now I get it!!
Yeah I've been coming and going a lot already today, I was almost afraid to say I was back, thinking it might sound repetitive (what it actually is)

[inu-kijo 0]

i dont like caviar!!!yuck!

but Salmon roe is bright red, and so tasty, I love the taste when the little bubbles pop in your mouth.

mm those pine berries sound good.. add a little cream and you'd have instant sundaes

[Bee1 0]

what is wrong with strawberries that taste like strawberry?
If I want pineapple I buy one. Why do people come up with stuff like that? Onions that are so sweet that you can eat them like apple , berries that looks like something but taste like something else etc.

*rant over*

wonderful news Frannie!

[inu-kijo 0]

Have you ever tried it??? jummy! : D

It says it grows naturally in the wild Bee..... so I guess it can't help itself... does look mighty strange though.

I guess that's true - but I think that makes my life so much easier - no limitation (apart from tripe) and so much to choose from

but I'm not forcing anyone to adapt my way of eating (like some vegetarians that I know )
