You don't know your nigiri from a sashimi in the ground!

You will after viewing this slideshow however.

Sushi is so popular in the United States, it's almost hard to believe that it wasn't always a part of American culture. But thanks to sushi's introduction in the 1950s, we now enjoy sushi whenever we want -- on an evening out with friends or even for a quick work lunch from the corner deli. But even with sushi's wide availability, many people are confounded by it. It's easy to feel lost in a sushi restaurant, not knowing what all the different types are -- whether it has raw fish or not, and how to even begin to eat it. For the beginner sushi eater, we've put together a glossary of all the popular pieces of sushi, how they're made and what ingredients they usually contain. Then scroll below the slideshow to read more about the basics of sushi.

I'm too nervous to try it, I don't know how my stomach would handle raw fish.

Unfortunate cut off title.

After living in Japan, it is hard for me to tolerate American sushi

Thanks for the info Yancey. I haven't eaten the raw sushi, mostly just shrimp tempura and california rolls with that yummy eel sauce.

CarolinaBand · 03-22-2012, 10:03 AM

Well, I know what i'm having for lunch now.

there's a place in Seneca called Sole Grill and Sushi Bar. On Monday nights they do all-you-can-eat sushi for $12.95. 2 rolls at a time, until you say stop. And they are absolutely delicious.

Your stomach should handle it just fine. In fact, some studies say that over time sushi is actually good for your digestive tract. Also, almost all sushi comes with a few slices of ginger, which does better than some medicines at settling down your stomach. So eat your fish, then chew some ginger, and no worries!

You know, to be a clemson fan, you have to have the 2 most awesome GIFs I've ever seen. Well done.

For anyone who lives in Greenville, the best sushi around is at Tampopo, intersection of highway 14 and Pelham. It'd adjoined by a Japanese food store. Both are owned by Japanese families - unbelievably rare; I can't even find that in Chicago. My friend's father, head of the Japanese department at Furman and a Japanese native, goes there all the time.

I'm still looking for a good place in Chicago.

Cmon man, why do the mods let people do this? Embarassing for CT. Grow up.

Appreciate it man. I did the "Puss and Boots" one for Christmas '10 and just never took it off. I found the Sandusky one a little while back and rolled when I saw it. Couldn't resist.

This goes great with your Sriracha thread because I like to put some on my sushi.

AtlGAMECOCK · 03-23-2012, 07:06 AM

If it is your first time trying sushi go to a highly recommended place and try different types see whatu like . Not all sushi places are good and a bad experience can ruin sushi for u.
