Sushi includes Rice

We have a pizza buffet chain called 'Cici's' locally. It's not great
pizza, but have had worse at places that are more well-known. The pasta
is dismal, so we don't bother with that. The salad is fresh enough, if
mundane. A point in their favour is that they will make a fresh pizza if
that particular sort isn't out on the serving line. The customer can
take the entire pizza to their table. They don't do special requests
other than that.

All you can eat fries for the table if one entree and drink was
ordered or was it supposed to be for the person who ordered the entree
and drink but the table shared and the waitress didn't care? When
someone orders all you can eat shrimp from Sizzler (I've only seen the
commercials), they aren't supposed to feed the family and then ask for
more because the person who ordered it wasn't full. That's a recipe
for bankruptcy.

Sooner or later, most of these back and forth posts degrade into the
meaning of words. It's an interesting phenomenon. I wonder why that
happens.


There's all kinds of sushi - the kind I ate as a kid was a piece of deep
fried tofu that was stuffed with sushi rice which was called inari sushi
and maki sushi, which is rice and various vegetables and eel or canned
tuna rolled in a sheet of nori.

This is more or less, sushi for the lower classes. Practically nobody
here makes the nigri sushi that's popular in sushi restaurants at home.
There's also box sushi which is sushi rice in a box with toppings.

Try putting pizza toppings on several layers of pressed kale. Also try
pressing kale between two metal bowls and cooking until crisp; use in place
of the tortilla bowl in a taco salad.

Not to be insulting or anything, but something's very wrong with a
restaurant or the patrons of a restaurant where the owner feels the need
to post signs about the obvious. Do they have a "No spitting on the
carpet" sign too? I'll be on the lookout for such restaurants and make
sure to avoid them. :-)

My guess is that you'd never find such a thing in Japan. Saving face is
most important and signs like this would be very embarrassing for the
Japanese patrons. I suppose Westerners wouldn't give it a second
thought. Aye caramba!

The Cici's we have here is probably a duplicate of yours. For the
price, if you're hungry, love a basic salad and want to be full when
you leave, then this is the place to go.

I make my own. All my favorite goodies on it. Better than anything you
can buy out in the chains.

If you're going to do something that you know is a breach of etiquette,
don't ever ask first. You'd be surprised at how many wannabe
neanderthals make this rookie mistake. Asking first opens the
possibility of getting a negative response which, in turn, opens a big
old can of nasty worms and pretty much quashes the plausible deniability
option i.e., "I didn't know your restaurant had a policy against
crapping on the table!"

Obviously, you're being facetious - 8 slices worth of toppings on a
single slice would be impractical if not downright impossible. OTOH,
scraping a slice of topping onto another slice is actually a good idea.
My suggestion is that you slide that scraped slice discretely onto the
floor so as not to attract attention. You may want to leave a bigger tip
than you usually do - say 11% of the tab.

I'm pretty much going to have to stick with previously dead fish. I
don't think I've ever killed a fish before. Cutting the head off a live
fish would probably give me nightmares.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have a pretty good handle on the rice
cooking part and will try it mostly as a way to relax. Cooling rice
while stirring it, I think, may be therapeutic.

I think I will use a bottled sushi seasoning for the first few batches.
Stirring the rice would seem to be integral to having a rice that's not
too sticky and separates. We'll see.

Funny! But... What I saw in the pic on the sign was a pancake turner. My
Jr. High Home Ec teacher told us to call such things pancake turners and
never spatulas. She said a spatula was a rubber scraper. As a result, I
tend to call nothing a spatula. In my house I have only turners and
scrapers. And some of my scrapers are silicone.

I have a pancake turner. It's got a big round thingie on the end. The
great thing about the word "spatula" is that it has a humorous sound to
it. I would call a "scraper" one of those things that you'd use to
scrape batter out of a bowl although I have called those things a
"spatula." That's probably wrong. Will watch out for that one.

Speaking of Japanese restaurants in the US, I wonder if various rolls
are not just as common as nigiri, even if personally I prefer it. In any
case, a thin strip of nori seaweed wrapped around is often used to hold
on the topping for nigiri. Asparagus, burdock, crab sticks, eel and
clams almost always use nori.

A "scraper" is what you use to get ice off of your car windows in the
winter in certain areas. Not here, though.

We use spatulas in our kitchen. We don't make pancakes, so we have no
pancake turners.
