Trial one: vegetarian roll, no watercress
For someone who is as picky an eater as I am, the thought of seafood, raw fish and a medley of other things all touching each other, together in one roll, makes me want to die. I proceeded to trick my mind through some sort of self-manipulation. All my friends seemed to be zombified slaves to their sushi cravings, so I chose to psyche myself out and make myself want sushi as bad as they always did. I first asked people, “I don’t really like sushi or fish, but I think fried calamari’s okay; what should I try?” I did that about three or four times and got, relatively, the same answer. One day, when I was really feeling unwell from the night before but I wanted something to eat I thought, MOSHI MOSHI: fresh, and delicious.
My friend agreed to join. After sitting in front of the menu and actually planning to order sushi, I realized I wasn’t that scared, especially when I came across the vegetarian roll, oh man! No watercress though.
I ordered that along with a seaweed salad, a side of white rice, asked for eel sauce to be brought with it, and waited.
Rice bowl: nom, nom, nom. Seaweed salad: nom, nom, nom.
Oh boy! Vegetarian Roll! I took my sticks, grabbed a piece and dunked it in some eel sauce and into the old yap it went. I chewed. I waited. I enjoyed!
