Today Is...International Sushi Day

I don’t like Sushi and i don’t pretend to like it and when i go to a Japanese restaurant with others, they all get Sushi and try to get me to at least try it but i look at the sticky rice and bits of seaweed and slimy, raw fish and politley explain i would rather have my fingers continually slammed in a car door than
let that go anywhere near my tastebuds and opt for something which has been cooked and won't lead to making a reappearance minutes later in the restaurant toilet.
To be fair to any Japanese readers, i am not a fan of seafood even when it has been cooked and smothered in batter so i am not down on your national dish, i just can't stomach fish at the best of times and ever since i saw the original South Korean OldBoy movie when the guy sits down and eats a live Octopus i can never look a sea creature in the face ever again. There was no CGI or special effects, he just chowed down on it and apparently he actually ate four live octopuses, because they did four takes.
A report showed that the white tuna at sushi restaurants is sometimes actually Escolar and if it is not prepared expertly, can lead to diarrhea and anal leakage and at that point i stopped reading but as its International Sushi Day, enjoy it if you indulge today but i will stick with my tofu and vegetables and keep the anal leakage to a minimum thank you very much.
