I'm not sure I could ever convince myself to eat sushi.
Do you dislike seafood? Because it really tastes very little like seafood.
EDIT: Sashimi anyway, which I assume is what you meant.
Mostly the "this is not cooked" mental block.
Hell, a rare hamburger makes me uncomfortable.
It's a very mild flavor, also. Most Japanese food is actually very mild, very light on the spices. The strongest flavor isn't the fish, it's the nori, which is what takes the most getting used to. Just make sure you get something nice and fresh (sushi with dry rice is awful) and make sure you get plenty of soy sauce on there, add a dash of wasabi and you're good to go.

Meat != Fish
Never said it was rational
Well, what you could do is first starting with cooked fish, moved down to seered fish (so it looks cooked) and then try a piece of sushi with your eyes closed.
Use the same fish.

I tend to stay away from the spicy rolls myself. A lot of places I've been to tend to use the extra seasoning/spice to cover up the fact that the fish is about to turn.
lesson #1: Never go to a place that seems shady or cheapo with sushi.
I know that, I do the traditional test and ask for some tomago before ordering anything else. I like to know that the sushi chef takes his shit seriously.

If the fish smells strongly go to another sushi place, it should not smell like that.
To add to this, the smell most people think of as "fishy" is actually the smell fish makes as it starts to go off. Most fish (when it's fresh) doesn't really smell of much at all.

So I'm thinking when the munchkin stands next to me, legs spread, crying while she pees on the floor (through panties and shorts), it probably means it's time to put the whole potty training thing back on the shelf for a bit.
*sigh*
I prefer dogs, because society doesn't make me feel bad about using the rolled-up newspaper trick on them.
Or even better, cats, who are smart enough to not need to be beaten.
You'd only use a newspaper on a dog if you're retarded.

Once that Dog finds that bit of newspaper, that's the end of it.

I got into the chopstick debate, but was it pointed out that a lot of chinese food contains a high vinegar content and the fork does a weird job of neutralizing that to create an acidic taste? One of the prime reasons to use chopsticks, at least with sushi?
The warm bath did wonders. I had free movement for about an hour. It's stiff and painful again, but at least I know now that this isn't anything major.

Yeah, I figured it was muscle related. Alcohol might help you some as well for its muscle relaxant properties.

Meat = fish. nub. Your the reason the vegetarian menus on campus say fish is vegetarian!
but they're listening to every word I say

Nobody help Sami. He is a rapist.

Now now, let's not take any extreme positions we could regret later here.
I don't like getting rice on my fingers.
I'll point out here that I'm one of those freaks who eats pizza with silverware. I hate getting foodstuffs on my hands.

Because you are a rapist and deal meth to school children.
Right, right. He's still trying to call Tycho a motherfucker and Mere is still mother.
We're both right. HighFive!
There should ALWAYS be sauce involved with sushi, always.
Sushi without at least soy sauce is a crime.
Many Japanese (mostly girls) use chopsticks for pizza.
Don't ask.

see me i can enjoy the taste of rice, crab, and seaweed paper on its own
but then i can also enjoy a plain burger or a hot dog
I'd love to, but I'm broke as a joke. The work I'm currently missing doesn't help, either.
Man, now I want some unagi...
That's what she said?

good show
But why would that prompt you to make your personal photos private?
in my defense you are a japanophile
