Why don't I like sushi?

Question

No jokes. Difficult for me to understand. It looks good, smells good, don't have any problem with the raw-food idea. Have not even tried it! Just know I don't want to. But why damnit?

Answer 1

you're not a Japanese? well, even if you're not, don't assume that every Japanese person loves to eat sushi or sashimi. just it will be surprising to hear also if a Japanese doesn't eat sushi/sashimi. it's only a matter of being used to eat it and get acquainted with that kind of food. most people who don't eat raw materials such as raw fish has a big tendency to get allergy. just like me the first time i tried to eat the sushi, i got all big red rashes all over my body. but i thought it was not the cause from the raw fish esp the red meat (maguro/tuna). i went to the doctor and was diagnosed to be allergy of raw fish. but i ate again and same result i got. for about 5times attempting to eat, my body seemed to get used of it and until then, oh geez, i really love it. sushi doesn't only compose of raw fish, but there also like the octopus; squid; clams; sea shells, and the like. to get acquainted, go to a sushi restaurant with a friend who eats. then try to look at him/her while eating. if you feel like to taste, have one in your mouth. chew and try to analize the taste. if you feel like to puke/vomit because you can't stand eating raw fish, excuse yourself and go to the toilet. the sushi master will surely understand you and may give you a cup of hot tea. tea can dissolve/twist the bad taste. after one experience of having that, try it again next time, til you get used.

*precautions: do not force yourself to swallow what you cannot stand to swallow as you will only blow it out instead.

Answer 2

You haven't tried it but you are saying you don't like it? There's your problem.

Answer 3

Maybe because it is a foreign food and it's not the type of food you're used to being near or eating. It is a hard food to like. You have to develop a palette for it. The first time I tried it, I hated it, but now, I'm addicted.

Answer 4

I won't even touch it I am not into fish, except tuna and catfish.

Raw fish just the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach. Most of my family loves the stuff but I can go into a restaurant with them and sip the green tea and let them eat all they want and I am just fine.

I don't even get hungry in one of the those places!

Answer 5

I think Sushi is something you have to get used to. The first Time I tried it, I though it was ok, was not bad or anything..But now I love it and can eat it anytime.

Answer 6

Sushi isn't necessarily raw all of the time, you can try the deep fried sushi, they're really good
