Craving sushi

How long after surgery did you wait to have sushi (minus the rice).

The head hunger is real.

the thing about gas station or grocery or wherever pre-made sushi that sits on the shelf for purchase, is the texture of the rice gets compromised. gets dried out and hard(er). as for maki/rolls on the shelf, the nori gets soggy.

They make fresh sushi at my supermarket. Made in front of you. Never bought it as it’s always rice based. But friends swore the ones at a neighbouring supermarket were pretty good all things considered..

PS Don’t buy it from a hospital cafeteria either. Did years ago. One bite & I spat it out & in the bin it went. Shudder!

I wouldn't know. I thought Lindsay was referring to raw sold there.

I can imagine how long it sits there before being bought or thrown out. To be safe I'd use Wasabi in case there's any bacteria floating about.

I don't make a habit of eating it, to be clear...I just am not sure I agree that a gas station is inherently more "gross" than most grocery stores. I don't know, I am a bit of a "road warrior" so I guess on-the-go stuff doesn't faze me like some others.

TBH the only thing that fazes me is eating raw meat. Even if it's from a 5-star restaurant. And if you're passing through MO, don't stop at this seafood stand. This happened yesterday.
