Fine, I shall stop pretending.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion".

I'm not pretending. The only seafood I'll eat is shrimp. I don't like fish and I don't like any crustacean. Never tried it, never will. Might as well be not eating any dead creatures but I won't last a day without eating meat.

Is it just me, or do anime fans seem to have a coincidental affinity for sushi?

I can understand thinking it doesn't taste bad or maybe even tastes good, but when something as relatively flavorless as sushi becomes one of your favorite foods, something's up. I have to wonder if the same people wouldn't find any other combination of raw fish, rice, and seaweed to be disgusting or flavorless.

So, who else here does NOT consider sushi to be a wonderful and delicious food, presumably just because they are obsessed with Japan due to anime?


HA! Thank you!
Okay, I'm done. But seriously, I find it extremely annoying too. Some people just try way too hard.
I like sushi. It's tasty. But it's nothing special. I mean, come on. Raw fish and rice?
I've tried it this year, only because some friends draged me to a sushi bar. Otherwise I would't have. Simply because when something is overhyped, I naturally start disliking it.

I love the 'not too hardcore' sushi. By that I mean, California rolls, rainbow rolls, tamago sushi, etc. I find the straight up sashimi a bit too much. Having just plain raw fish and rice is just way too bland for me.

Hmm... Well I can understand why you guys don't like sushi I guess ^-^ Raw fish is not for everyone...
But to me it's nice hahas :D I liked Sushi since young, I just like how the rice is so chewy :3 and the topping is nice. And when I grew older I loved the raw salmon one!
But then again, people may have a dislike for Sushi because of the seaweed! Some people just don't like Seaweed because it sticks around their mouth...
I'd love to eat Sushi once a week(If you eat it everyday it probably gets tasteless), but maybe it's because I'm Asian or something. ^-^ Sushi <3

I dislike sushi. I like the taste of raw fish, I just don't like sushi. It just tastes gross to me. Fruit sushi is okay. But beyond that, no thanks.

I love sushi, but that might be because I grew up eating it.
My favorites are tobiko and tuna ^-^
For some reason though, I've grown not to like cooked fish anymore.

I AM asian so I liked sushi way before I liked anime/manga. xD I have to admit it's a a little weird seeing all those intense anime fans trying to be japanese when they clearly aren't. Buuut, I really liked sushi until my mom told me it was made out of raw fish. I had NO clue at first, but finding out just kind of put a bad taste in my mouth. xD I enjoy the seaweed and rice part of sushi, but typically I don't enjoy what's inside unless it's like egg or something that I like. LOL

I'll Chuck Norris roundhouse kick you if you're telling me that I'm lying: I LOVE sushi and it's one of my favorite snacks. I've eaten various kinds of sushi: California Maki, asparagus, squid, sushi w/ shrimp roe, the one with salmon, even one dipped with cheese (if you've ever been into a fastfood restaurant specializing in Japanese cuisine).

Actually I like Asian foods as much I like my local tastes, from Japanese and Chinese to Thai and Indian cuisine :)

Didn't really care for sushi, See it alot in Anime ever since i was a kid, But I've always had my favourite dishes even before that.

Sushi is ok. But its not great.

Rather spend my money on food that is hot and filling.

Since I am a bargain hunter, a haggler, and a person who can limited his spending to any degree, I usually get the most filling meals with less then £1 or $1.50.

Raw fish is fine, as long as its fresh. True the Raw texture is good, But the cooked version is fine as well. Freshly steamed fish retains all the fishes natural flavour, and the meat is nice and juicy. Grilling it is fine, but you lose the juciness but you get the crispiness of the Skin.

of all the food there is i never got to like sushi.
i mean i'm experimental and adventurous when it comes to food but i just can't take sushi.

it's probably because of a trauma i had when i was in 6th grade when my bestfriend forced me to take in sushi which i reluctantly ate but then i barfed it all out after a few minutes that's why everytime i see sushi it' makes my stomach turn.

I love sushi, and no, definitely not because of anime, just love japanese food in general, and sushi to me is bloody awesome because its simple and elegant almost like dim sum, comes in small portions and you have a lot of fun eating it. sort of have a grandiose feel to it, I feel that way at least.

I never understood why people loved SUSHI so much. The thought of eating raw fish disgusted me. And this is coming from a house of Filipinos who eat rice with their HANDS lol!

But now I understand why SUSHI is so fucking delicious....no it's not because of the amounts of marijuana I consume that makes eating SUSHI so delicious no no no not at all. It's the combination of rice/seaweed/chicken/tempura/eel/teriyaki sauce dipped in Soy Sauce that is so tantalizing that it makes me wonder why I am typing this instead of eating that shit right now!

I've never ever had chicken, tempura, and eel in one dish before. That sounds interesting I just might try it!

I really love it, however probably I coudn't eat it every day. I think when it comes to sushi, it is important how someone makes it. Making sushi is an art and also like art it's more or less successful.

Mmmm salmon.

I know watching Katekyo Hitman made me want some sushi really realllly badly. Damn that Arimoto.

I think it's just that way of thinking where when you see somebody eating something and really enjoying it, you start craving for it as well.
I know for the longest time I was OBSESSED with rice omelettes because of MeruPuri. Actually..i'm still obsessed. What can I say? It's the power of manga.

I'm allergic to raw seafood, so I don't have to pretend. Why would I eat something that would make me sick?

If it's Japanese food, for me it's usually teppanyaki, tempura, karaage, teriyaki, tonkatsu or yakitori.
