I have never eaten sushi in my life. That’s why I don’t like row food. But perhaps I will give it a try in the futurel

I like sea food such as fish but I dont eat sushi yet so I cant judge about it. Although it seems to be good to taste sushi in the future.

My dear friends!


Please dont think I deleted those pictures of poor sheep because of your comments or any other reason!


I deleted them because I know they were not nice for people and also for me!


It is talking about foods not politics! :))


Maybe I need to be Olya’s guest and try Sushi again! :)

Mahtab, many negative comments were stated here against sushi. It’s ok. It’s normal to express your opinion. I respect cultures, but, please, don’t force me to like what is against my nature!

The picture with the the sheep and brain on top of it is sickening. Yes, we eat lamb, but to decorate it in such gross manner is just a sheer mock to me.
Sushi are big time delicious! Every one loves them!!! Just because they delicious. Some of them, true, are very exquisitely done and look like little pastries. About raw fish, it’s kept in the fridge for some time before cooking to kill all the bacteria. So don’t worry about poisoning!! The only thing that can stop eating sushi is the severe allergy to them. Remember what happened to Hitch when he was on a date with his girlfriend?

Haha, dear Mahtab, okay then, I won’t wish you a meat-filled day. I’ll just say, “have a fun-filled day”. Happy now? 


Dear S&W, I hope you reach your goal soon.

Hi Mahab & S&W,


It’s nice to know that you both love vegetables and have respect for vegans. I don’t have anything against meat lovers either. I totally understand that each culture has its own special food/food habits that may seem bizarre to others. 


Have a meat-filled day, both of you!
