Santorum Asks: Is My Sushi Cooked?

[kpete]

no, but your brain is:


• Rick Santorum, his wife, daughter and advisers power-lunching Friday at McCormick & Schmick’s in Tysons Corner. The GOP presidential candidate drank a Guinness beer and ate calamari and quesadillas, then tuna and California rolls — after he was overheard asking whether the sushi was cooked.

1. No, but your goose is!

What a maroon!

[blogslut]

2. The Tuna - No. The "Krab" in your California roll - Yes.

"Sushi" means the bite-size bits are prepared with sticky rice mixed with vinegar. The raw fish is called "Sashimi".

3. Technically, all sushi people eat is cooked.

Sushi is the rice, not the fish.

4. You just caused scores of people to go wiki sushi

as they want to respond to this thread but don't want to look ignorant on the subject


LOL

5. hahahahaha

[eShirl]

8. correct

[HopeHoops]

13. It actually means "vinegared rice" or "fermented rice" - nothing about fish in there.

[ZombieHorde]

15. I know. I said it wasn't the fish. nt

[unblock]

6. sadly, i've been to a mccormick & schmick's and i have to admit it's a valid question.

among other problems, mrs. unblock's "grilled" salmon was served completely uncooked, so i wouldn't put it past them to cook sushi.

7. Was there crab in that California Roll? If there was - SINNER!!!!!!!!

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+11%3A9-12&version=KJV

Leviticus 11 9-12
9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you

So Dick Santorum will use some verses of Leviticus to judge others and yet ignore others.

9. Crap? You're not calling Mr. Santorum a coprophile, are you?

Given the meaning of his surname, I guess that wouldn't be all that surprising.

10. OMG - that was really a typo, I think

I meant to say CRAB!!!

11. An this rube wants to be elected to negotiate sensitive agreements with foreign heads of state?

[pinboy3niner]

12. Well done--just as you ordered

[EC]

14. Well, if he believed in science

he would believe that the viniger "cooks" the fish. Wouldn't he? But then again he doesn't believe in science.

16. the fish in sushi rolls is often cooked

Sushi rolls can be made with cooked fish as well as with raw fish. Sashimi is raw fish.

17. To be fair, California Roills are done with cooked fish meat wiht some crab

I can't have it due to one particular ingredient... piece of trivia... for any who cares.
