eat it raw - Page 3

Yes. Although technically the ginger is to cleanse your palate, rather than stop you retching and gagging and grossing out other diners.

Wasabi clears your nose and gives you a chance to say "Of course, this isn't real wasabi, it's horseradish. mustard and colouring. When I was on my Gap year in Japan..."

Ginger will soothe the belly though.

Very good. I just choked on my coffee.

Seriously, Chezzah, somebody needs to give you a column (not in that way, dirty minded cow!)

love sushi.

I'm with Jim right up to the sushi part. well in a restaurant anyway.
I've caught and eaten most every saltwater fish I've caught raw.
Blues, trout, several types of tuna, kings, skate, flounder, croakers, seabass, stripers ... tons. Shellfish too, had clams I got yesterday.

Also done mussels (Nasty) and a bunch of other shellfish. No to crabs though. The meat's consistency is like watery snot before cooking. (ewwww)

Bluefish I prefer smoked - the tuna was by far the best raw. It must be THAT SAME DAY fresh and ice cold for me.

They serve to give the thing a Japanese accent, Wolf.

I would start the nervous first-timer on the tuna, the yellowfin, and the cooked shrimp. If he gets brave, just one with salmon eggs. Virtually anyone can eat the kitsune-zushi. It's a rice-ball enveloped in a sweetish sort of crust about the shape and color of an old-school army overseas cap. So named because legend has it kitsune fox-spirits like them.

Sushi - check
Steak tartare - check
Oysters - check
Caviare - check (including crab eggs scooped from under the tail of Mrs King-Crab-straight-from-the-sea, which I thought was pretty barbaric, even though I say it myself!!)
All yummy.
I ate horsemeat (cooked) in Kazakhstan - it was delicious.

All this is gross.

Civilization began when someone threw their wildebeast steak on the camp fire.

The only raw thing I like is desert.

grynch · 08-11-2011, 07:26 AM

ok Bri-Bri... I have to ask...

have you ever tried any of these things , or it's just the idea of puts you off ?

GunMaster357 · 08-11-2011, 07:30 AM

Never forget that we're all barbarians with a very thin veneer of civilization...

While out celebrating a graduation I was tipsy enough to try an oyster shot (raw oyster in some kind of clear liquor with hot sauce)

was like swallowing snot. Liquored-up snot, but snot none-the-less. But I've never tried the other things. If it looks gross and sounds gross...imma not gonna eat it.

I do like a good filet mignon medium rare, but that's as close as I come to raw.

How do you know

From the writings of the late great Jeff Cooper: "Raw impala liver is just that good."

Guess he figured if it was good enough for the lions it was good enough for him.

ZenGum · 08-11-2011, 10:43 PM

I've eaten raw red meat.

I've eaten horse.

These statements are made true by the same incident.
