eat it raw - Page 3

wolf · 08-06-2011, 11:36 AM

I had my first actual raw sushi (I'd restricted myself to California rolls and things that contained smoked meats and that fake krab/whitefish stuff for the longest time) a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't die from it, it was fairly tasty.

And when it isn't, that's what the wasabi and ginger are for, right?

Yes. Although technically the ginger is to cleanse your palate, rather than stop you retching and gagging and grossing out other diners.

Wasabi clears your nose and gives you a chance to say "Of course, this isn't real wasabi, it's horseradish. mustard and colouring. When I was on my Gap year in Japan..."

Ginger will soothe the belly though.

Very good. I just choked on my coffee.

Seriously, Chezzah, somebody needs to give you a column (not in that way, dirty minded cow!)

Can I haz boths?

They serve to give the thing a Japanese accent, Wolf.

I would start the nervous first-timer on the tuna, the yellowfin, and the cooked shrimp. If he gets brave, just one with salmon eggs. Virtually anyone can eat the kitsune-zushi. It's a rice-ball enveloped in a sweetish sort of crust about the shape and color of an old-school army overseas cap. So named because legend has it kitsune fox-spirits like them.

Sushi - check
Steak tartare - check
Oysters - check
Caviare - check (including crab eggs scooped from under the tail of Mrs King-Crab-straight-from-the-sea, which I thought was pretty barbaric, even though I say it myself!!)
All yummy.
I ate horsemeat (cooked) in Kazakhstan - it was delicious.

All this is gross.

Civilization began when someone threw their wildebeast steak on the camp fire.

The only raw thing I like is desert.

ok Bri-Bri... I have to ask...

have you ever tried any of these things , or it's just the idea of puts you off ?

GunMaster357 · 08-11-2011, 07:30 AM

Never forget that we're all barbarians with a very thin veneer of civilization...

While out celebrating a graduation I was tipsy enough to try an oyster shot (raw oyster in some kind of clear liquor with hot sauce)

was like swallowing snot. Liquored-up snot, but snot none-the-less. But I've never tried the other things. If it looks gross and sounds gross...imma not gonna eat it.

I do like a good filet mignon medium rare, but that's as close as I come to raw.

From the writings of the late great Jeff Cooper: "Raw impala liver is just that good."

Guess he figured if it was good enough for the lions it was good enough for him.
