Happy Birthday to Me!

I'll shoot for 23 and 25. If not, 14 or 34. Yes, count that as four guesses.
And, rroyo, you've just got to try every type of sushi. There's no one type that I recommend. Of course, that's your choice alone.
The one thing you should really try when you go to a restaurant that serves Japanese cuisine is a wakame salad. It's a seaweed salad with a sesame sauce, lightly spiced (sometimes. I prefer mine to be lightly spiced). Eat it with chopsticks. It's delicious, and extremely nutricious.

 

Hmm , close , i'm 22 , what!? did you thought that i was 14 , a simple kid that roams these forums , well , i'm sure they are but i aren't , by the way , does someone wants a piece of me own homemade sushi?

 

Wakame salad - I've got it wrote down. Thanks!
There's a new Japanese resturant opening up in a town about 30 miles from where I live. Since I'll probably be in that town this weekend, I'll definately give it a try. Lightly spiced, no less.

 

Have someone watched Kill Bill Vol.2?

 

Well hey, it's very possible for a 14 year old to use a computer.
And, I hope you enjoy the salad as much as i do, rroyo. However, when I say seaweed salad, it's pretty much all seaweed. It may be served atop some lettuce, but I've seen more plates if it without.

 

Well , i knew that , by the way , "seaweed " sound like it's kinda drug or something

 

I appreciate the info. My knowledge of Japanese cuisine is rather limited, to say the least.

Now comes the hard part - something I've never been able to do - learn how to use the chopsticks! :lol:

 

That's the easy part. The hard part will be swallowing the sushi.

 

Yeah , raw fish , or as you said , " It's not sushi , it's just your cock wrapped up in seaweed " :lol:

 

The easy part: getting more food on me than in me.

As for the swallowing: If you've ever eaten raw oysters, you'll never have a problem with something slimy again.

 

Well, I hate oysters. Weird thing is, I'll eat octopus.

 

Slimy? Slimy is nothing. It's the taste I'm talking 'bout.

 

Well I hate the taste AND the texture.
Sushi is not supposed to be slimy. If you eat slimy sushi, then you had better get ready to go to a hospital. Well, that is, unless you're eating some octopus sashimi. That's always weird. But, oddly satisfying.
If you go to a real sushi bar, they often prepare the octopus while it's still alive. It's dead when you get it, but, you know...
And, there are a couple places in Japan that serve frog sushi. The main part of the meal is the still-beating heart. That would never happen in this country, and by that I mean America, because of animal rights activists.

 

Hey does anyone else like vanilla-coke?

 

Sometimes, yes. I like vanilla black cherry coke.

 

And that's where Tabasco comes in handy.

As for the vanilla Coke - damned straight! Good stuff, Maynard.

 

I went to Hershey Park a few years back, when they had just started making Vanilla Coke, and they were testing "Chocolate Coke" in the park on unsuspecting patrons. Me included. Let's just say that it really didn't take off.

 

Well, Cherry-coke has been the queen (whereas glass-bottle coke has been king) of the Coca-Cola kingdom since it came out.

 

In some of the older "mom and pop" general stores in Kansas, I saw glass bottle coke being displayed! Original glass bottle coke, in the 5 ounce bottle!
I never bought any, I was unsure as to how long coca cola actually keeps, but i was definitely interested. I did, however, have a 12 ounce glass bottle coke recently. The plastic definitely detracts from the taste. As does an aluminum can, but not as much as plastic.

 

While in Italy, I was in a wine-cellar storing wines from as far back as 1928. They had an old coke-bottle there. I figured it was at least 30 years old judging by the rusty bottlecap and the dust. That cellar was as close as I'm getting to heaven on earth.
