Nope thats a bitch drink. I was talking about Natural Light. I think its one of the best keg beer for some reason.

Right now, i love the miller chill. It has a hint of salsa which makes it really interesting.

Natty light is what we have right now, because my friend bought it for Kaneda.

I like daquoris, pina coladas etc
shots i like cherry bombs (had a triple last weekend, eek), and scooby snacks :)

Alternate 4 shots. Tequila, Jag, Tequila, Jag. I call it 'death'.

How is it not sushi???

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-24 09:35 AM

Well, those rolls are kind of tasty, but it's not real sushi. Real sushi is a chunk of fish and rice. I had Unagi once (tiny eels), but they made me sick. I should know better than to get that here in MN.

Read the whole thing:

In Japanese cuisine, sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓, sushi?) is a food made of vinegared rice combined with fish (uncooked and in some cases cooked).

Sushi is an English word that has come to refer to a complete dish with rice and toppings; this is the sense used in this article. The original term Japanese: 寿司 sushi (-zushi in some compounds such as makizushi), written in kanji, means snack and refers to the rice, but not fish or other toppings.
There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし).

cold boiled rice moistened with rice vinegar, usually shaped into bite-size pieces and topped with raw seafood (nigiri-zushi) or formed into a long seaweed-wrapped roll, often around strips of vegetable or raw fish, and sliced into bite-size pieces (maki-zushi).

You said something about cream cheese? Hell, pot it more sushi that that.

Silverjinx18 2007-07-24 10:04 AM

You've never had a Philidelphia roll? It has cream cheese, rice, a veggie, and most of the time salmon.

California Roll > Philly Roll

Silverjinx18 2007-07-24 10:06 AM

Nope :)

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-24 10:19 AM

California rolls/etc were never made until the Japanese brought sushi to America, they're not authentic sushi, I thought that was common knowledge.

That's confirmed by a few native Japanese friends and my Japanese professor as well.


On the bright side, I had sushi for lunch today. Abby's Dad is out from VA and he took us to lunch at Todai (Japanese Seafood Buffet type place). All you can eat sushi is a good thing. :D

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-24 08:38 PM

Oh lucky you and the all you can eat. I usually end up paying through the nose when I go. So damn expensive. What kinds did you have?

Vollstrecker 2007-07-24 08:47 PM

I can't remember it all. They had tons of the "psuedo-sushi" rolls, which were all good and tons of the real stuff. I know I had Salmon, Tuna, Mackerel, Squid, Eel, two different types of Clam, Tilapia, and a few others I don't remember. Sadly, they had no Octopus this time.

Best place ever for a lunch imo, $15 for an all you can eat seafood buffet which includes all that sushi. It's not TERRIFIC, but certainly passable. Price goes up to $25 for dinner, but they roll out Lobster and Crab for that. :D

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-24 09:04 PM

Oh I see. When I was at VA Beach I went to a $20 buffet with all you can eat crab, lobster, and sushi. Needless to say it was delicious and I just about ate my weight in seafood. Closest place to get cheap sushi is at this china buffet, but I'm kind of afraid to try it. Yah never know how fresh it is.

Grav 2007-07-25 06:20 AM

China Buffet is probably just imitation crab in all the sushi-type foods.

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-25 07:21 AM

I wouldn't be surprised. I noticed a tiny cooler filled with them last time I went, but didn't try them because I had eaten 4 plates already.
