9. Avocados are nasty
8. Sushi chefs need to be hauled out and shot.. I mean.. raw fish? nooooooooo its a crime against humanity. Have you ever wondered who first decided to feed people raw fish and pretend that its a cool thing to do, just to see how many people would go along with it? lol
7. Sounds good except for the salt and marmite.
6. mmmmmmmmmm (but only with ketchup)
5. Olives are nasty
4. Never tried it, sounds very Canadian. lol
3. mmmmmmmmm
2. Fish eggs. ummm.. no.
1. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM (note the capital Ms)
;-)
As for sushi, first of all unagi is barbecued eel, meaning it's fully cooked; second, sushi is not some fashionable new trend (at least not in Japan) since people were eating raw fish for thousands of years before it ever occurred to anybody to cook them. Animals still eat all their food raw. When you think about it, burning fish or any other food over a hot flame is a much weirder thing to do than just eating it the way it is! Not to go all raw food hippie longstockings on you, but except for those pesky parasites, raw food is a lot more nutritious as well...
Notice that marmite didn't occupy the #7 spot on its own - but rather as one ingredient of a snack. Marmite is yummy but, like a trip to Las Vegas, it's best enjoyed in small doses and at infrequent intervals. :)
I just realized that I left out Nutella from my list. I may have to revise it.
and yes, very small doses are reccomended unless you like going into a salty anaphalactic shock
