It does take time in order to take a liking to it. Had I never lived in Japan though, I serously doubt I would have ever tried it and acquired the taste for it. In America, sushi started out as just the fad, the thing to do if you were anybody. Sort of like wearing the "in" thing. About the time I had come back to the U.S. on vacation from Japan, a friend and I went out to eat sushi in a place in San Francisco. At that time it was still pretty much the "new" fad to go out to a sushi bar and eat sushi. But since I had been living in Japan at that time for two years already, I was very used to eating sushi. My Japanese friend and I are sitting in there speaking Japanese together and everyone in that place is tripping cause I'm this blond haired blue eyed American and I'm speaking Japanese like it's my first language. So as the meal progresses, some chick at a table next to ours is with some dude who brought her there on like a first date type of situtaiton, they probably met at a 24 hour fitness or some place like that where yuppies would hang out in the late 80's and pick up chicks under the false pretence that they are a fitness guru. So the chick puts a huge piece of sushi in her mouth and starts chewing. I could see her eyes start watering up as she's chewing so I knew besides it being her first sushi experience, it would most likely also end in a regurgitation situation to some extent. She choked it up on the first swallow attempt but on the second attempt at actually swallowing it. She maintained the sushi in her mouth and did get it down the next try. At which point the dude that was with her asked how she liked it and she replied "Oh it's great! I love it." She ate a total of about five pieces and that was all she ate for the entire meal.
And nope, I don't have a deep fat fryer. I hate fish that is cooked actually. When it's cold/raw, a good fresh fish won't have a bad smell and the taste is extremely mild. It's the texture/feeling of it and the shear thought of a raw piece of fish in your mouth that is the only hard part to get over, unless the mild taste is a problem to someone. I spent many hours sitting out on the steps to my apartment in Japan with orders of sushi that I brought home, eating it to get used to it. All the cats in the neighborhood loved me then because I'd give them what I wouldn't like. There are a hand full of sushi's that I wouldn't even eat. Uni, the smoked eel, and the fish eggs are the ones I won't eat.
It's
