Was just at the white sox game , nice fireworks show. Not just groundouts you know.

Don't think I've ever seen someone eat sushi with a fork in my entire life.

If they have, they should be snapped off. Sushi very much a finger food.

Never seen people eat it with their hands either. Except handrolls obv.

I've grown to liking some of your posts from the beast's thread but what pisses me off but shouldn't is the other "bighurt" guy...his redneck avatar and behavior is absolutely understandable but still makes me want to punch a wall.

you've never seen someone pick up a piece of ngiri/roll with their fingers? really? pretty standard. sashimi w chopsticks is ok... meh..not shocked people don't know what's correct...lemme guess you mix wasabi w the soy sauce too? alternatively--you could also google it!!! ya know so you don't totally disrespect the next sushi chef...or do something completely stupid like leaving them crossed sticking in a bowl of rice or something.

I do usually mix wasabi and soy sauce. I think it's more convenient and easier to get an even wasabi strength throughout the meal.

I wouldn't mind people eating nigiris and makis with their hands, just have never seen it. Also I don't want to myself, even though I like finger food in general.

I care very little if that's not approved of by japanese cuisine snobs, and I'm pretty confident most chefs don't really give a **** either.

About 10 years ago, I used to work with a guy who lived in Japan for a while, married a Japanese woman, and taught high school Japanese. IIRC, he told me me that sushi (the rolls) were meant to be eaten with hands.

However, I too mix soy sauce and wasabi and find the chopsticks help the mixing process. I continue to use the chopsticks and go against what he told me for two reasons.

I'm a douche (however not sophisticated). Since my roll is now about half dipped in a soy-wasabi sauce, I prefer to keep my hands clean. Even when I eat a roll dry, I still don't want a bunch of rice sticking to my fingers. I guess I'm making an argument for good sanitary behavior, however that wasn't my intent.

i'm certainly no 'cuisine snob'(although i love good restaurants) just stuff i've picked up along the way...also it would be silly to think a decent chef wouldn't notice...same kinda thing can apply in many other situations as well. it may just come down to how you want to go thru the world. i don't particularly see trying to do it with some respect and a little class as bad things.

When people park facing out at the grocery store.

It (and other stores where you'll need to put stuff in the trunk) really pisses me off to see someone parked with the trunk "in" at these places. Do they just not use the trunk? Do they not care about banging other people's cars with the cart if they are using the trunk?

It tilts me and I honestly have no idea why.

People that use the term 'foodie' to describe themselves.

You like to eat, so does everyone else.

I don't put my groceries in the trunk.

People that think they are having wasabi with their sushi .

Condiment snobs, obv.

Sushi pisses me off.

so do the Banshees

Since I'm one of them, can you please explain?

Do you even Google? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_5027341.html

I had the real wasabi once, they grated it at the table. It was ****ing amazing.

What's wrong with mixing the not-wasabi paste and soya in the little bowl? I thought that was standard?

If youre eating and enjoying his food thats enough respect. If he cares how you eat it **** him.

Sorry. That was snobbish of me. Once you have the real deal though it's hard to go to 99% of other joints . It doesn't really Piss me off though.

I was pretty ignorant about it until I dated a daughter of a Japanese chef some years back.

And you still don't explain.

He means you're normally getting horseradish dyed green in USA#1.

I thought wasabi was horseradish. So, I never got cheated.

Sushi snobs is a good addition to the list.

i would like to know as well. i frequent approx 10 places between the bay area/east coast--all pretty well regarded imo..and would love to know!
