Cerina 2,527 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We made Million Dollar Spaghetti the other night. It's basically like a spaghetti casserole lasagna. It was pretty good, but then again, it was basically just spaghetti with extra cheese. Link to post Share on other sites

Zathras 371 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Sushi is awesome, but if you have bad sushi the first time, it will ruin it for you. Link to post Share on other sites
Quetzalcoatl 119 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 According to my date, it was good sushi. But given that I was a sushi virgin, I can only take her word for it. I guess its just not for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Second time, I was indifferent. Now it's my favorite meal. This happened with me, as well. First time, it was just bad sushi. Took me at least 10 years to get over that bad impression to make me brave enough to try again. Second time, started with a California roll. It wasn't that impressive, but it was my gateway roll to others that were awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably my first five or six experiences were all at the same restaurant. Great local place. I went from dislike to love gradually but still pretty quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
Iceheart 1,886 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I love sushi, but I could definitely see trying it the first time not really knowing what to expect and noping out. Especially if you started with some of the more complicated stuff. I made a coconut curry pasta dish to bring to work today, after seeing the video recipe on Facebook this morning. I've already had two bowls. Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Spam 1,789 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It's a texture thing. I think the Japanese are really big into that too. It's like coffee for sushi and a learned taste. I think my sister finds the fishy options too fishy but she likes california rolls which is not real sushi. Link to post Share on other sites
RUAJedi2 156 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I had bun thit nuong for lunch: Vietnamese rice vermicelli bowl with grilled lemongrass beef and spring roll. Not new to me, but damn tasty, considering the restaurant is in a little NC podunk mountain town. Link to post Share on other sites

R.CAllen 682 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 All this sushi talk reminds me of a dumb but solid joke from an episode of Will & Grace ('98-'06, '17-'20) where guest star of the week Gene Wilder gets mad after ordering sushi at a restaurant.
