Asia

Sushi- I don't even know where to start, sushi is my favorite food, I would eat it every day for the rest of my life! The mixture of all kinds of sead food inside a roll of rice and seaweed. On the weekends I enjoy making sushi for lunch or dinner. There are many types of sushi, starting with the simple crab and avocato, and for some sushi addicts there are some spicy shrimp ones.

    I've got mixed feelings about sushi. I like the kind with just veggies or shrimp tempura, but other than that I just can't wrap my head around how someone can enjoy raw fish. Just last week, I was feeling open-minded so I agreed to share a HUGE platter of sushi with my mom, brother, and his wife. I popped a big piece in my mouth, began to chew, and then my brother said "Oh, Carly... Actually, I think that has some raw eel in it too." My eyes grew wide in shock as I slowly chewed what I had thought was cooked shrimp.
