Sushi - Prospect Hall

 Liverwurst, Calamari, Caviar.  These words all remind you of disgusting food, right?  A meat paste containing livers of animals, fried squid, as well as fish eggs, are all considered a delicacy in one culture or another.  Sushi is also considered a revolting food, but it is being eaten today, more than ever before.  According to National Restaurant Association, the indulging of sushi has increased forty percent in the last five years, and for good reason.

            The first form of Sushi was developed in Southeast Asia, and consisted of cleaned fish that had been fermented in rice.  The rice however was not eaten at first and the fish became an significant source of protein for the Japanese.  Eventually, the Japanese figured that the rice could be an important part to eat as well, so they created the round shapes of sushi so that the rice could be eaten with the fish.  Throughout the years, sushi became easier and easier to make, and became a custom of Japan in the fast-food industry. 

            Many skeptics of sushi still exist whether it is the question of raw fish, or the cleanliness of how it is prepared.  So what exactly is in sushi?  In America, it is possible that you will still be able to find a restaurant or venue that still makes many kinds of the original sushi, but more commonly, restaurants will make the most popular form of sushi.  The most common form of sushi in the United States is maki-zushi, which is a wrapped sushi roll that usually comes with six to eight pieces.  This type of sushi is sometimes loaded with fish and rice although usually there is more room left for creativity.
