..to Sushi! Even using the whole ball of wasabi now, and need extra ginger.
I have an incredible Japanese food store with a tiny sushi bar at the back nearby to work and home. They get their fresh fish delivery on Tuesdays, and I am there every week for the last year.
Lately, I crave it all the time. I'm up to three times a week!! I've started ordering it sashimi style (just the piece of fish over celery or cucumber) to cut back on the rice.. if I get it ngiri style (fish on ball of rice) I usually just eat half the rice.
Hard to figure out how to track this on the calculator.. some of the rolls I love have a bit of avocado, cucumber, asparagus and spicy sauce in them etc.
I really think a study should be done on the addictive properties.. I see the same people there over and over who say the same thing.. it's a bigger crave than White Castle!
Geez, I just had a quick roll yesterday and I want to go back for lunch today.. errrgh!

Totally off the subject, but, what is White Castle?? I just saw a preview of a movie...something like Habib and Joe go to White Castle. It's like Dude, where's my car, with "that asian guy from American Pie", and "the indian guy from Van Wilder". I don't know. I'm from Northern California, and I have lived in southern california...am I missing something?

I just started eating sushi and it is really addictive.
Been having it twice a week for the past 3 months!
The other day I had yakisoba (japanese noodles) with chicken and shrimp, was still hungry after and stopped for sushi. Makes a great dessert.

I love california rolls! I also love that damn wasabi! It makes my eyes water and I torture myself with it. My wife thinks I am nuts.

White Castle is a hamburger chain. Think Crystal Burger and you've got it.

White Castle's.. tiny little grease-burgers you can buy by the case, meal comes with 4 of them to make up a serving... grocery stores carry them frozen now but nothing like the real thing at 3 AM (best fountain coke there too).
Wasabi - used to be I couldn't even get a dash of it on there without choking, now I'm smearing it on the top of each piece AND mixing it in my soy sauce. Really clears the sinuses!

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuushiiiiiiiiiii!
There is a resturant out here that has a sushi buffet (there's a suprise for Vegas!). All top of the line stuff - they cut the fish up while you watch; very fresh. They have 50 types of sushi, hot entrees like stuffed jumbo shrimp, sukiaki, etc., plus an incredible dessert bar. The whole kit and kaboodle is only $25 for dinner! And, they'll give you a free dinner on your birthday. So, I'll be stuffing my face silly twice this week: Thursay is one of my partner's b-day, and Sunday is mine....... MAJOR grub time!

I'm in the uk and sushi here is 'not real' and very expensive for nothing. I can lay a bit of thinly sliced salmon on a cucumber goujon at home for a lot less money. For that matter I can make a packet of salmon, tomatoes and other veggies to feed 3 for the price of not even half a snack of sushi. For £5.99 I can get 12 tiny rice rings with a slither of fish in each of the 12 bites. I cant afford that once a week and it isn't at all a meal, let alone a snack! Is sushi much different where all of you are from?

There are several kinds of sushi Neil, the rice rings are called Maki, or sushi rolls - some restaurants make them much better than others. I am very fussy about where I have sushi for that exact reason. Sometimes you aren't getting much for your money.
Personally I prefer the piece of fish (usually about an ounce) on top of either rice or slivered cucumber.. this is called Ngiri. For a meal I have 4-6 pieces, and a good tuna roll, it is certainly sufficient .. unfortunately I like it so much I usually order even more than that.
It isn't cheap.. my husband flipped when I had a receipt for $25USD from lunch one day.. but I was REALLY hungry that day, usually it's about $12.
****Happy Birthday Rev!*****
Please share the name of the restaurant, I'm coming out to Vegas this fall for MY birthday!

i think in the uk it's still quite new and it's mostly overpriced rubbish for the trendy people. Ngiri style sounds nice and I have found an alledgedy proper decent japanese restaraunt here in london to try out. It all sounds nice, but honestly we british do put up with some second rate rubbish- Don't come to the uk for dinner- you wont like it!

I don't think we have those in the Midwest golem, never heard of it.
Today is the first day in a long time that sushi does not sound good to me... but then, nothing sounds good to me, I have the "seis de mayo" sickness. :(
