10/31/2005: Salmon plane - Page 2

Oh god, I just got salmon thirty salmon. it hurts.

And for another hair splitting semantics lesson:

There is no such thing as "rice wine" Wine is made from fermented fruit, beer is made from fermented grain. 'Sake" as it is called (thanks Izanagi) is actually a still or flat beer. Budweiser is also made from rice and it isn't sake, or wine for that matter. Hell, some would say it isn't really even beer.

Raw seafood? Why not put two slugs in a revolver, spin the cylinder and suck the barrel.

People...there is absolutely nothing on the menu you can eat that's more dangerous than raw seafood!

Not since they stopped serving chicken tartar anyway ... And the Orange Julius is a bit worrisome.

........ until you get to dessert:

A finding published in The New England Journal of Medicine said the outbreak of salmonella that affected more than 200,000 was traced to a nationally distributed ice-cream made in Minnesota. It was the largest case of poisoning from a single food source in the United States.

If all other factors are equal, yes. But all factors are NOT equal. A $50 sushi dish is far, far more likely to be super-fresh and untainted than a piece of semi-cooked beef at a mid-dollar family dining establishment.

and much healthier. cooking food destroys much of the protien. jinx is convinced that sushi is a very effective hangover remedy. she might be working me, though.

I always thought they were a bit sketchy. Now creamsicles on the other hand...

A Japanese friend of mine gave me some important sushi lessons.
#1 being: If it smells like fish, then it is too old to be sushi. Fresh fish has no fish smell. That fish smell is bacteria getting its game(iness) on.

The other lessons are secret special lessons that invlove the true nature of wasabi.

was this a 'secret special' japanese friend?

Mr. Salmon, do, do, do, do,
Bring me a dream,
Make him the cutest,
that I've ever seen, . . .

In this day of Express, High-priority, Next-day delivery that doesn't sound all that impressive.

I've always found having fish the morning after pepped me right up.

Same day delivery of tonnage is still rare. Caught today and served tomorrow, without freezing, is unusual.

Yeah! Bruce knows what it's all about.
Cattle drives are for weaklings; "oh my back hurts, oh my throat is dry, oh I'm sunburned" "...THREE days in the saddle, you know my body hurts..." man your uncle shoulda shot YOU right then.

Now you herd a school of salmon across the atlantic, through storms and shark attacks and rogue waves to the hungry ports of europe, then you'll know what I'm talking about. That shit is some serious work. There ain't no campfire at the end of the night and cowboy lullabyes, no sir. It's swim or sink.

OK, I've gotta get back to my beverages.
