I had to witness the following earlier this week:
a young woman (who shall remain nameless), meticulously spreading ketchup onto a piece of sushi, then putting a piece of pickled ginger with another layer of ketchup, THEN dipping the whole monstrous hybrid into SOY SAUCE, before putting it into her mouth.
Repeat for an entire plate of expensive sushi rolls.
Yes, it actually happened. Yes, it made me incredibly flabbergasted and then sad, because
a) sushi is one of my favourite foods that I rarely splurge on anymore
b) the incredible flavours were lost in a sea of red sugar paste
If that’s what fusion foods are making kids do these days, I’m done with it.

/ January 30, 2011I know. I wanted to snatch them out of her hand before she sullied them with ketchup. If only I didn’t have manners….

I have a few zines up on my blog already, and I hope I will be putting that one up really soon.
Did she spread the sauce with her chopsticks?! the whole thing is just all kinds of wrong.

/ January 30, 2011Well, she began by spreading ketchup with a fork (of course), but by the end had moved onto just dipping the sushi into the ketchup like it was a chicken nugget. The more I remember, the more I become traumatized…
