Culinarians Day 2021

I have long been a consumate eater of foodstuffs. My enjoyment of food has resulted in both corpulence and the cultivation of taste and tolerance.

There was a time when I would not even think of eating at a close in gathering of strangers because I simply did not care for the proximity. However, the sushi bar has desensitized me to awkward sociality in the name of interaction.

The sushi bar is about community.

July 25 brings us Culinarians Day, a time to celebrate chefs and cooks.

At this time it is appropriate to mention my friend Ryo Watanabe who I have known for a very long time and serves me sushi at his restaurant in St Andrews off Jamil Road ... Inakaya Watanabe.
 

Sushi is a rice preparation with vinegar and various raw or cooked seafood or vegetables.

I have so many favorites it would be impossible to list them all.

I eat two different foods at the sushi bar.

Nigiri sushi which is formed from a small ball of rice garnished with various seafood or vegetables.

Sashimi which consists of slices of raw fish consumed in a similar manner to sushi.

When I arrive at the bar I order my meal then await the feast.

I am pretty much a sushi eating machine and consume larger orders than a mere mortal customer.

I enjoy my forays into the raw and cooked delacacies Mr Ryo will place before me and I admit to not getting out there to eat as much as I might like.
