Any sushi fans?

Of course its sushi. All sushi means is appetizer.

Sorry, but that is completely incorrect, and unfortunately a rather common misconception.

Sushi is a type of rice preparation involving vinegar, this rice is then topped with other ingredients. Absence of the sushi rice will classify these other ingredients as other dishes. For example, the same raw fish, slightly different cut direction, but not over a pressed ball of sushi rice is sashimi.

Was this a joke? Not trying to be offensive, just not sure if it was meant to be funny. That being said, I love sushi, sashimi, maki...I think I just love Japanese food. Being Korean, I grew up with it at home, though much more rustic in presentation. One of my favorites growing up was fresh caught rockfish with korean hot pepper paste.

I tried sushi for the first time last week and it was great. It was a tuna, cucumber, seaweed stuff, and rice. I need to have more!
