Well, I was returning from some Christmas shopping at
a distance mall, driving down the high not far from my
favorite sushi bar and decided to have lunch.

So I stop at Sushi Island, which wasn't very busy on
a Monday (probably why the owner takes it off). I look
up at the specials board and see iwashi and aji, among
other items. So I order a "my choice" lunch plate of
sake, hamache, bincho maguro, super white tuna, and
ankimo, which comes with soup and a california roll.

As I'm eating, I saw one of the chefs draining something
in a sieve. Once he finished I asked what it was he was
making. He said it's like roe but hard to explain. I said,
"Oh you mean shirako?" He looked surprised that I knew
what it was, and gladly whipped some up for me. It was
served in a martini glass over shredded diakon, with pickled
radish and ponzu over the top. It was very tasty, and still
disturbingly creamy. I told him it is called milt in English,
which he wrote down.

While I was eating mine, a waitress or friend (couldn't tell)
came in and sat down for lunch. She knew everyone and stepped
into the kitchen, so I'm thinking waitress on her day off.
The chef told her about the shirako, and she opted for a taste.
She was very apprehensive at first, but once she got a taste,
she dove right in. She offered a taste to some of the other
workers, one accepted the other ran away

I finished mine off and the rest of my nigiri. I order my
desert, aji, iwashi, and uni. That was enough for me. Everything
was top notch today, the ankimo was very rich and nutty.. and the
uni was sweet as well. In the end, I got an extra piece of
ankimo, and the shirako for free. SWEET!!! Left a nice tip.

Keep it up Dan, about as on topic as possible.

What makes you think we are even slightly interested in what you had
for lunch (had you robbed a bank on your lunch break and gotten shot,
THAT would have been interesting to know about) What sort of newsgroup
would this be if EVERYONE posted what they had for lunch even one day
a week..


A good one. I enjoy hearing about great sushi meals people have.

It makes me think of going for sushi again. Don't you? Oh, I forgot
that you never contribute anything sushi related to this newsgroup.

How sad. But please, feel free to go on another rant since I'm sure
you're convinced that we are even slightly interested.

Well, I enjoyed it. Makes me want to go out and try shirako. I've never
had it

I had this for the first time about 3 weeks ago at Fish-shin, a new
place in Tustin, CA. As I frequently do, I just ordered the things I
hadn't seen before. I asked what "cod milt" was and the waiter, with
his limited English, couldn't get it out.

When it showed up, also martini glass and diakon, I knew what it was
immediately. There were four sizeable pieces. I tried one, and ate
the other to get rid of it as quickly as possible. My buddy tried it
and found the texture somewhat disagreeable.

I know have three things I'd prefer to avoid; natto, shirako and grated
yama-imo. Texture is the main component in all of them, but I didn't
care for the taste of the shirako eithr.

What the ****? I thought there was some kinda joke in there
somewhere...no? Strange but true.

This group IS about whatever the hell anybody had for lunch provided
it's loosely or not-so-loosely involved with Japanese food.

Yeah, the chef didn't know how to describe it to me, but I know when
he said some kind of roe but not exactally. They didn't have it listed
on the specials board since it's only for Japanese diners. Maybe that's
why he didn't charge me for it.

yama-imo. Texture is the main component in all of them, but I didn't

It's very mild tasting, taking on the ponzu sauce and pickled diakon.
The only things I avoid are natto and ika shiokara. Both have a foul
taste, in my opinion. But maybe it's like Limburger cheese.

I'm surprised that you rose to the bait Michael.

Look at who you're responding to.

Dan hardly needs encouragement to keep posting and I suspect that that
ole fry cook just love seeing Dan rise to his bait *EACH* *AND* *EVERY*
time he throws out a hook.

It annoys me that Dan can't restrain himself from responding, and
reresponding again, but I expected better from you, Michael.

Why does it annoy you? He doesn't get a rise out of me, just a
response. A rise would be if I were ****ed off or something, and
I know he's just a nobody Frycook (all of his multiple personalities).

Anyways, good lunch today. Going back next week I think, if Charles
can make it from Vermont.

OK, but just remember, you asked for an explanation.

He's generally disruptive in this newsgroup, and would go away if
he weren't getting responses. I'd prefer that he went away unfulfilled.

As long as you keep responding to him, he'll stick around,

WHICH IS'NT WHAT I WANT!

DON'T YOU GET IT DAN?

YOU'RE GIVING HIM EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS!

As I see it, there are two explanations:

1. You're really that f**king stupid.

2. You're really the fry cook and you're playing a very clever game.

Whichever it is, I find it annoying, and FWIW, I don't think it's
explanation number 2.
