@todayilearned @luv4music1231 I’ve only eaten sushi once. It was like 35 years ago, and I was visiting a friend who was working at Sun Microsystems in Silicon Valley. I only have a hazy memory of it, because by the time I was talked into it I was very much under the influence of adult beverages. I just remember it was really spicy, like eating horseradish straight.
