Sushi Lesson

Always ask what's in a roll before you order it, especially if you're late into an all you can eat session. Ordered the DF roll from Sushi Hut. Was stuffed to the eyeballs when it came. Kudos to KBL for knowing it'd be deep fried, but neither of us predicted there would be four kinds--FOUR KINDS--of fish inside!
On the plus side, I was too full to eat all of it. On the double plus side, it wasn't real bad.
VERDICT: Polite. The sort of polite where if you accidentally order it at an all you can eat restaurant you eat it because you have to.

Shrimp

10/??/09 - I first tried shrimp shortly after I met Kristin, if I can recall correctly. I have always had a strong irrational fear of shrimp. The ridiculous amount of legs. The inedible tail that isn't taken off. The fact that it was seafood. All scary stuff. It was seriously like fear factor the first time. It was just a shrimpy shrimp from a shrimp ring, but I was scared. I tried it anyway and found out I had reason to be afraid. Shrimp are like pulverized, bad tasting rubberbands. In any concoction, in any configuration, in any incarnation I have not liked shrimp.
However, I lived most of my life in Manitoba, and there are no shrimp anywhere near here. Living in New Brunswick now, I figured I may as well try shrimp again, just to see if there is some reason people like it. Say, perhaps it is actually good when its fresh. My opportunity arrived when we went for sushi in Caraquet. I ordered a sweet shrimp nigiri roll.
VERDICT: Shrimp is still gross!
