The invention of Land Sushi

This girl just said to me

“why doesn’t anywhere [sic] have like ‘land sushi’? like i don’t like fish but sushi is good cuz its just really amazing cuts of raw fish so like, why don’t they do that with like beef and chicken and pork n stuff? i bet it’d be really good. you think we should try it?”…

I responded “I think YOU absolutely should… that’s a fantastic idea”. I almost blew my cover by busting up laughing when she responded “i know right!??”.

In hindsight, encouraging people to eat deadly foods it’s kindov off-brand for me so I take it back.

But as lulzy as it is to think of that thought coming from someone sincerely – it doesn’t not make sense… I mean, it’s not like it’s just inherent knowledge that its safer to eat raw fish without fear of parasites and that Italian guy who lives in uncooked chicken (Sal Manella, I think his name is). And actually, I think raw beef might even be real a thing that some people/dummies/cultures/restaurants do for some reason so I should probably stop typing before I unmake my point any further. cuz the thesis here was supposed to be “lol dumb girl say thing lol” but now I’m thinking about it and 1 out of the 3 is already legit and the other two have to have some reach around, work around to make them not-deadly-poison, right? You have to prepare sushi some kind of way and it has to be sushi grade meat anywhore, right? So who’s to say that it doesn’t become a thing some day? Not me. But for right now – it’s not a thing and it’s a way to die either right away or from microscopic snakes eating you from the inside or whatever, so the original quote is dumb and we should go back to snickering at then. But after the smiles – we should maybe look into it.

Open your mind and your guts to new experiences. I won’t. but you should.
