Perhaps you like sushi better because it's "Asiany"? I love Japanese food, Vietnamese food, Thai food, etc., and I think that has a lot to do with my Korean background. |

| Interestingly, I don't care for seafood, but I actually really enjoy Sushi. Why? Because Sushi doesn't have a strong seafood flavour and I'm not fussed about eating something raw. I'm quite an adventurous eater; I used to be quite fussy but ended up missing out on Indian food as a result (now my favourite kind of food) and since then I've tried to eat just about everything. I do like some seafood that isn't Sushi: Tuna, Anchovies, Mussels, Prawns, Sole... |

| Yeah, it's ok.... |

I wouldn't say mushrooms are plain... I'm not keen on them myself. Party for the texture, partly for the aftertaste. But they often improve a recipe a lot; but too much and I really don't like them. |

| ive yet to have sushi. i dont really like seafood in general though |

| I've tried sushi before ... Didn't really care for the taste ... Maybe I bought the wrong kind, I dunno. Maybe its an acquired taste? Maybe I should eat lots of sushi until I get used to it ... Maybe I should stop saying maybe ... |
| I'll eat any seafood except sushi. |

| I didn't like it when I first tried it and didn't touch it for a long time after but one day I decided to try some again and liked it, so I guess it depends on what type of sushi it is. I wouldn't consider it one of my favourite foods, but I like having some from time to time. |
| I never tried it....But I guess Im dont gonna like it =/ cus I hate fish xD |
 |
| I hated sushi when I was small, seaweed in particular. Well, I've never tried it then. But one day I decided to see what it tastes like, I did and I began to love sushi, and still do. |
| we order it once ina while so i likes it but i only get certain kinds and i eat them all with spicy mayo :P |
| i would hit you ,but i dont wanna get any douchbag on my hands :P |
| i live in canada and i eat it like 1-2 a week and i have sake and green tea with it and i thinks it amazing. |
 |
| I love sushi but if I eat too much I get a bad stomache. |
  |
| It's okay. I just think sushi can be hard to chew.. But I don't even like seafood. I love other japanese food though. |
| Eww, I could never eat sushi. D; |
[ ♥ ] Me and Yuusei; we's like peas and carrots~ [ ♥ ] |
| Meh I've barley ever tired sushi. But the few times I did it was alright. Not the food im use to but it was alright. For some reason sushi makes fish taste better cause im not really fond of fish. |
| I've only tried it once, but man was it disgusting. I can somewhat stand the taste of the raw fish, it's just the seaweed I can't stand. The texture, smell, and taste makes me want to puke. |
| (ﾟ∀ﾟ) |
| raw fish ... not my thing. On the other hand my favorite food is couscous, now that's food! |
| I've tried it once and I don't like it. I hate fish. |
| I have never had Sushi, and I don't plan to anytime soon. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| ha you guys got to be kidding! sushi sashimi are the best! |
   |
| I've eaten sushi 3 time before and I really like it. |
| I like sushi since I love fish, but I don't consider it one of my favorite foods. Having some sushi every once in a while is nice though. |
| What I'm writing here certainly doesn't apply to everyone (or even most), but I think it's funny how some want to consume all parts of Japanese culture - entertainment, language, and even traditions, customs and attitudes. However...food really shows a deep cultural divide, as attested by many who've posted that they can't stand sushi, although I'm willing to bet many of those people who LIKE to LIKE sushi. I'll give two examples. When I was a growing up, I had a close friend who was white and lived near me. Once, when we were walking home, I offered him kimbap, which is rice wrapped in seaweed with various ingredients inside (not raw fish, though). He tried it, and immediately spit it out - it was disgusting to his taste buds. On the opposite end, my wife loves Korean food and many Asian foods, but generally doesn't like American or western foods; she was raised primarily eating just Korean food. They say food is the way to a man's heart; maybe it's also a defining and dividing point of culture. |

| I love seafood, fish, shrimp, crab, squid and so on. But as far as sushi goes, im just medium on it, the whole raw thing is overhyped, not a bad flavor, more than anything its usually texture that gets to people. |

| I actually acquired a fondness for sushi before I even began to watch anime. I think it really depends on where one goes to eat their sushi. I am very picky with where the sushi comes from, but I am open to many different flavors. I don't buy it at any stores, because it may not be as fresh as one is led to believe, and I don't just go to any random buffet and grab the sushi. I check out the reviews first. I especially love the tempura roll, and salmon. I love spicy mayo sauce, and I also love eel in sushi. Everyone has their tastes. Some of my friends love the fish eggs, or just the sashimi. I usually like to visit the local affordable sushi buffets that are known for their well-pleased customers. Anyway, even if some people acquire a taste for sushi just because they started watching anime, there is nothing wrong with that. If anything it enhances our knowledge of a culture we all seem to be somewhat attracted to. :D |
| Oh no, we're fine. Thanks. |

| The only good thing about Shinto is that usually it's followers take it a lot more lightly than most of the other major religions. PS I still can't believe some people don't like sushi. |

| Sushi outside of Japan is not worth it, both in taste and certainly in cost. Avoid Yo Sushi in London at all costs! |

| Sushi is gross. No offence to the Japanese. :) |
curiouser and curiouser :) |
| I thought sushi was alright nothing special.Though my favorite was with crab and i loved a little wasabi. |
| I have had a profound love of most things seafood for years, and sushi happens to be on that list, yes. Though this is not because of its region of origin so much as it is because I grew up in a seafood-rich area of the world. Though I will say, lobster takes far too much effort to dissect for it to be worth it. I'll eat it if it comes ready-to-eat, but this is somewhat uncommon. |

| Sushi generally tastes nicer from a restraunt. Boxed sushi is vile, i guess that some types of sushi are nice and others are not, just like all food. I tried sushi because of anime and japan myself though, but i rarely eat it and its not the nicest of food. |
| Sushi is okay I guess, I've eaten those with crab-meat/cucumber fillings and they taste fine to me. Dont see anything wrong with the seaweed either. I've ate sushi even before I started being a "fan" of Anime, Manga & other Japanese things so I guess it's not influenced by them. |
| I didn't eat much sushi until a few years ago. Every would tell me sushi is so good, lets go get sushi, etc. I finally start eating more sushi and realize its ridiculously overrated. I do like seafood quite a bit (I don't eat much red meat) and I love rice, but somehow most sushi is just ok to me. When I get sushi I don't necessarily go to the most "authentic" places, but I pick places that have quality fresh fish. You just don't want to go to a place that doesn't have good fish. |
| I have never tried Sushi and i never will Haters gonna hate |

Mawiii said: Haters gonna hate Really strange seeing this line in regards to eating sushi... Anyway, I had sushi two nights this past weekend (yay for special occassions!). I tried, for the first time, sea urchin sashimi, and I thought I'd share about it. It looks like pudding almost, but a little more solid - but still not quite fully formed. It's orange in color and is really mushy. When I first tasted it, I was disgusted - gross texture and strange, unidentifiable flavor. But strangely enough, the goodness of it is in it's aftertaste. It tastes like...the ocean air. I could taste the salty, cool air from being on a Korean beach. Quite an experience trying this... |

| I really like the taste of sushi. |
 |
| Sushi has been one of favs food ever. |
| The first time I tried sushi was at a really nice sushi restaurant. To me, it tasted amazing! But it was really expensive, so I don't eat sushi often. Only on special occasions. |
 I'm not short, you're just freakishly tall!!!! >_< |
