Wasn't there some famous line by a Comedian about how he'd never join a club

himself as a member?

I agree with him!

I wonder how many sushi chefs hate raw fish.

I don't know if I'd trust a sushi chef that doesn't eat sushi.
They don't have a taste for their work.. or how to compare different
items.

Yes, Abura Bouzu...or Abura Sokomutsu.
Either way you don't hear it often in Japan because
it's prohibited from sale for consumption.

Any chance you might provide me with a phonetic pronunciation? For the
FAQ? And do you know why it's prohibited? Is it due to the difestive
problems that it can cause some people?

Thanks


Sure Warren

Aburabouzu...............Ah Boo Rah Boh Zoo

Abura Sokomutsu......Ah Boo Rah Soh Koh Moo Tsoo

(Abura = oil, fat)

It's been prohibited since the late 70s for the same reasons that it's been
written
written up in the US, namely the inability of many people to digest it
properly.

I know I wouldn't trust any chef that doesn't eat his own food. I've
encountered a number of bartenders that don't drink "any more", and
they put me off a bit too.

For more details on this you can google it and find plenty. Or search
within this usenet group. We've bickered about it on a number of
occasions.

I agree.
What would be the point of asking what he
recommends?

The girl in the Todai was just a young assembly line sushi chef, not
some black belt sushi master who trained for 20 years with monks in
Kyoto. Still, I can see how a guy dealing with fish day in day out,
every day of his life, for years on end, watching the worms crawl in
and out, might prefer to eat a hamburger or a pizza or fried chicken,
or anything except raw fish!

I understand the "any more(s)" better than I do the "I never
did(s)" when it comes to bartenders, if I might join in - a little
like working behind the alter without ever kneeling in the pew.
