Sushi By Dummies - One Big Bite

hot to eat sushiYou’ve been greeted at the door. You’ve sidled up to the bar and cleaned your hands. Perhaps you’ve prepared your shoyu with wasabi, or maybe you’re going to free-(rice)ball it. Either way, you’ve gingerly dipped your nigiri sushi, fish side down in the shoyu and now, little grasshoppa, you are ready. The time has come. You are ready to eat your sushi.

You must eat the whole thing in one bite.

That’s right, turn that sucker over so your tongue can taste the fish first, and eat the entire thing all at once. Shoving a whole piece in your mouth just too much? It’s okay to bite the sushi in half, but hold onto that second half while you finish your first bite. It’s considered rude to put a half-eaten piece back on your plate.

Garsh, and to think Mama always told me to take small bites like a lady.

as far as an index of all the sushi tid-bits, for now, you can just look here:

http://www.slashfood.com/bloggers/sarah-j-gim/

which has them all, though mixed in with a few other posts, but much less to sift through than the entire site.
