Japanese food v. Chinese food

Don't forget the boiled pig's ears and chicken feet. Yummm.

All that sushi experience and yet so ignorant? What a pity.

The problem with supermarket sushi is not just the freshness of the fish. It is the fact that the sushi rice gets tough and stale after sitting in a cooler for hours. And the cucumbers wilt and extract moisture. And the seaweed extracts moisture from the rice and gets limp and chewy. And you can't even begin to approach the variety of styles and flavors and sauces that you would get at a quality sushi bar. Not by a mile.

This is like arguing that day-old leftovers from Panda Express are just as good as fresh chinese food from a gourmet restuarant. It's absurd.

Dude, what's going on here? We're usually on the same page. Must be Utah county supermarket sushi.

You know Lebwoski, your distinctions between super market and restaurant sushi are still pretty prosic and really prove my point about it being a pretty insipid dish.

I'm sorry, buddy. But occasionally you are just way off base.

Last time I tried supermarket sushi it was at a Whole Foods store. May have even been in Seattle.

"prosaic"? "insipid"? LOL.

Uncle. You win.

Seattle was wowed by Whole Foods. Shows how pedestrian and naive he is. Pay him no attention.

His tastebuds have been deadened by eating boogers and play-doh as a child.

Neither can hold a candle to Indonesian.

Well that's a given. Chinese v. Japanese is just a competition for second place.

That is an old egg. I would advise against eating it.
