Whole Foods Sushi
Generally, I have not been very complimentary about super-market
sushi but today, since I was hungry and in a hurry, I picked up a "Rainbow Roll" and some Edamame at the Whole Foods place in Rockville, MD. The fish *was* "sushi quality" even the parts with eel and altogether I enjoyed it. The people making the sushi look of Japanese extraction and my only criticism concerned the meager quantities of soy sauce and wasabi. I would argue with their use of uncolored pickled ginger since it looks unappetizing to me but what can you expect from organic nuts?

There's a Whole Foods less than 5 minutes from my office, which I occasionally visit for their sushi. The fish quality is good, but the rice lacks some flavor. Overall its ok, but it leaves me wanting a real sushi meal. It must be a WF policy to only put one packet of soy in the package. At least they leave out a container of packets, along with packets of "Real Wasabi". I wish I had a good sushi bar close by.. -- Dan |

It is a matter of taste of course but I find carcinogenic artificial food colouring even more unappetizing. If ginger is first rubbed with salt it will turn pink in overnight, then pickeld. It is quite easy to make. The hard part is to find young ginger that's not woody. Jukka |

The uncolored stuff at Whole Foods is a dull light brown to my eye. I am not in the least interested in making my own and do you you have definite evidence that the usual pink coloring is carcinogenic?

Not about currently used colorings but the stuff used in Japan some time ago was. But of course all research results are controversial. Anyway, less artificial stuff used in food like coloring, soduim glutamate or trans fats the better. Also I believe that less processed food is healthier. Jukka |

IMHO, a set of partial truths but I won't continue this discussion since I don't think we will convince each other.

They are the true believers and will never be converted or see reason. Whenever I see one of their posts, I smile and think about how awful it must be to worry about buying poisoned food everywhere you go. ------------ There are no atheists in foxholes or in Fenway Park in an extra inning game. ____ Cape Cod Bob Delete the two "spam"s for email |

> Whenever I see one of their posts, I smile and think about how awful > it must be to worry about buying poisoned food everywhere you go. I do not worry at all, I just select what I eat. I cook a lot and like to use for example butter, red meat and sugar. I never use light products, except naturally light ingredients like vegetables. I'm not overweight and actually in pretty good shape for my age (46). However, being this old I thought I should check my cholesterol etc. Doctors verdict was simple "Don't change anything". So I must have done something right. Jukka |

Right parents, I guess :-) It's in the same league as Uncle Bill who lived to 103 smoking two packs a day!
