Can't wait for Miriel to see this thread?? I am about to throw things at people.

"Sushi" refers to the rice--long grain rice coated with sushi zu (vinegar and sugar sauce), which is often paired with an assortment of delicious oddities, most commonly fish, as Bunny said.

I've had plenty of cooked sushi. I've had vegetarian sushi, and beef sushi.

Raw fish is sashimi.

Pah, you all are failures to me. Except Bunny.
