[lbo-talk] Sushi

[Bryan Atinsky]

Before wasting lots of money on sushi bars (not that it isn't worth it 
to go sometimes to one), you can learn to 'roll your own', save a lot of 
money, and with a little practice, it can get quite close to the sushi 
bar versions...if you live in a decent urban area you can find a store 
that will have all the ingredients, you can probably buy sushi quality 
fresh fish (that is the tricky part finding fish you can trust to eat 
without cooking), sushi rice, nori, wasabi, vinegar, the rest of the 
accouterments (hard part is gettin' the unagi)...
