So yes... I've had it. Yummmmm.....
I didn't even mean sushi, there's too much dressing involved with that, and if you're not careful with the wasabi, you won't even taste what you're eating. I was thinking more of raw herring, either salted or sour.

Johnny!!!!! Dude! Now you are talking. Through on it a slice of onion over a brotchen, add a liter mug of brew and damn, one could be walking down the midway at the local beir-fest! Zwo bratwurst mit senf und zwei beir gefallen. Ein fur mich und eins fur meinen freund, Johnny! Damnit man, I might have to catch a hop (space available) to Deutschland!
All I've got is a sad attempt of a brat, some extremely fat filled resemblance from "Johnsonville" and they call it a "Stadium Brat". Grilled as a beer brat it's okay, but the kick of "senf" is what is really missing. And some cheap American beer. The Class VI was holding out on me. We can get real "Erdinger Weisse", "Guinness" "Grolsch" and a limited few others from there, but they only order just enough to piss everybody off. Ft. Knox may have the gold, but it surely doesn't have any idea how much real beer to get. So I'm stuck drinking a knock off 'Lager' from some small brewery with a historical name.

I use wasabi sparingly... much as I love spicy stuff, I have a healthy respect for it

As for herring, no thanks. I prefer my fish without bones... at least, in my mind.

I've actually been a vegetarian my entire life. The first question I get when I say that is, "Oh, did your parents raise you that way?" No, my parents are the hugest carnivores on the planet. But they tried to give me meat, and I'd just spit it out. And so it went my entire life. A benefit of this, of course, is that it's easy for me to do it- so many people tell me that they tried to do it, but they missed meat so much. On the opposite end of the spectrum is me, who feels no hunger or craving when viewing a steak or anything like that. Oh well...

I'm a 'Vegaquarian"! Eat fish and seafood but nothing from the land or air. No moral reasons attached, quite simply I get sick from eating them. Stopped in 2000 and it's been amazing how different I've felt since.

The bones are already removed by the shopkeepers, they can do that very swift, it's almost scary. If the bones wouldn't be removed, i'm not sure i'd eat it either, i hate those sharp little things, you can choke on them.

Zwei fur mich.... my friend can get his own!

You don't need to fly to Deutchland to get good German food. Up here there are a LOT of German immegrants, and great German Brat's can be had at a number of local shops. There's nothing like a fat Brat covered in Kraut! For really great beer I've got to drive to Rochster (Beers of the World)... but it can be had.

Vegetables aren't dinner. Vegetables are what dinner eats.

I'll eat anything. Even humans too if I got the chance. Anyone willing to sacrifice themself so that I can satisfy my curiosity?

Here's a thought, can anyone survive purely by eating meat alone?
