Earlier today
we tested your knowledge of sushi sustainability. Here's another
sushi-related question for you.
I've asked several times whether you'd be open to the idea of eating
insects, and quite a few of you have responded with a resounding yes.
In response to the ecosystem changes occurring throughout the world, several conservation groups partnered together to release
sustainable sushi guides yesterday. In light of that, I want you to guess which sushi choices are the right choices. Think you have a good grasp?
Last time I went out for
sushi, I debated over whether to use regular or reduced-sodium soy sauce. Reduced-sodium soy sauce is the condiment of choice for those who are watching sodium intake, as too much sodium can result in high blood pressure. Regular soy sauce, while definitely saltier, has more flavor, in my opinion.
Do you know what this popular vegetable maki
sushi is called?
When my cousin and I went for
sushi, we were seated at a tiny table with a wobbly leg that left my chopsticks rolling around. That is, until he showed me how to make a rest for my chopsticks out of the wrapper. Now I'm passing along my knowledge of what might just be the world's most functional origami piece.
A recent study conducted by two New York City high-school students shows that fish is commonly misnamed. When 60 fish samples from four sushi restaurants and 10 supermarkets were inspected using a genetic fingerprinting technique,
a quarter turned out to be mislabeled.
Some findings: "White tuna" was really Mozambique tilapia, a much cheaper, commercially farmed fish. "Flying fish roe" was actually smelt roe.
Raw fish may not be so safe after all. A man in Chicago has
sued a prominent seafood restaurant for giving him a nine-foot tapeworm. A tapeworm he says was caused by consuming raw salmon.
Oh hai, Sushi – this pup may be the result of an "accident," but I don't see how any accident could be this adoro! The cutie pooch is half
Corgi and half
miniature American Eskimo, which means she's got that fluffy eskimo coat and those wee lil legs of a Corgi. Even though the dog's mix can be best shortened to a corgimo, her owner's sister (our very own
sabs) likes to call her a skunkimo .
