About Delicious Sushi!
Would you like to try sushi? With the rise in popularity of sushi in western countries you may be invited by friends to join them at the local sushi bar. The Itamae (sushi chef) traditionally needs to train for 10 years before being hired to prepare sushi. There are four main types of sushi you can order:
Nigiri sushi: nigiri means “grab”. These are hand pressed balls of rice with raw fish on top and bit of wasabi between the fish and rice.
Sashimi: sliced raw fish (technically not sushi since the term sushi refers to the rice and sashimi is not prepared with any rice).
Maki sushi: maki means “roll”. The maki sushi is rolled with bamboo mats.

If you’re going to build a great salad, you have to start with a great lettuce. Once you have the proper foundation, your salad is a breeze. All sorts of toppings can be added, to build the gourmet salad. Usually you find onions, tomatoes, green pepper, jalapeno pepper, banana pepper, ham, eggs, turkey, and cheese. Mushrooms, olives, pickled okra, bacon bits, and macaroni salad. Pepperoni, salami, croutons, and crackers. Cottage cheese, three bean salad, broccoli and cauliflower. Read more
