So I just got back from the city center to buy stuff for making sushis.... But I've been drinking and partying for over 3 days non stop so I got zero motivation whatsoever...
Do you like sushis ? do you make your own too ?

I enjoy sushi. I have made my own sushi twice. I was impressed by how it looked 90% as good as 'real' sushi and tasted 100% as good.
My favourite all you can eat restaurant is Shabu Shabu, which is a sushi joint. Perfect food for all you can eat, because it normally tastes great, but is really unsatisfying and you end up getting a McDonalds afterwards to feel full in a 'normal' sushi bar.

My stomach was all, "Yeah, that fancy cultured stuff is great tasting and everything, but I am going to make you feel like you're going pass out in two hours unless you get some proper meat and carbs in here."

But got to be because it's for my wife's aunt birthday grrrrr Why did I propose myself 3 mounths ago ???

just make bacon instead - 10% of the effort, and just as decadent when presented properly :P

My signature starter dish is dates, with the stones removed, stuff with cheese and wrapped in slices of bacon, then grilled, glazed with a balsamic reduction. Bacon never looked/tasted so classy.

Sounds alright. Do you buy the dryer ones or the softer Medjool type for example? I don't like the dryer varierities. I'm guessing you use the bigger and softer type if you stuff them.

Yes, large softer ones. I usually avoid stoneless and stone them myself as I find the 'cavity' for stuffing is better defined and ends up looking neater.

Why'd you miss it? Is it not available where you live?

Yes and Sainsbury's do them. When I lived in Oldham (near Manchester) I'd probably buy them for lunch once a month.

I found it a real ball-ache to make small quantities, but it worked well for making large volumes for parties etc. I have no idea how long sushi keeps. Could I make some Sunday and take it for packed lunch all week?

no you don't want to do that ! Mind you I don't cook them often because it's long and coasts a little too but once every 3 mounths or something and then I make maybe 50-60 different ones and you have to eat them in maximum two days or if you put them in the freezer right after doing them you can eat them later if the fish was realllly fresh but be careful because fish products are very sensitive (their feelings too)...

you can freeze almost everything but as I told you don't wait when finished you have to put them directly into the freezer !
But yes you even can find frozen sushi in some supermarkets over here...

i just had some today as a matter of fact. from henry's market. i think they're the last grocer to carry them. scratch that, the super markets in the richie rich parts of cali still carry fresh sushi trays. all the other grocery stores only have rolls with no fish only veggies and imitation crab. weak sauce.
i can honestly say, short of a miracle, i'd never want to try and make my own at home. the rice... ugh. and the cutting of the fish. guess i'm just super lazy. i would still like to try making my own, perhaps, at a place where they have all the stuff for you and they teach you really quick.
i always enjoy a nice japanese brew with the meal. usually kirin, but today all they had was sapporo, just as good imo.
cheers!
