Kayaker swallowed by whale

Maybe if we call it by its proper name, lox, you'll like it better? 😁

Yum, live parasites

I doubt they really add that much flavor. I avoid as many as possible but have no delusion that there is any place entirely free of parasites, germs or viruses. Hell, our bodies are steaming jungles of life and we wouldn't last long without most of them. Still I also do avoid as many as possible .. just not at the expense of never eating sushi.

Have you ever cleaned much fish? I have. These are not microscopic beneficial bacteria. These are worms, big ones.

You could write about any food type and include warnings of "parasites". Look at beef, chicken, pork. It's not like they're entirely healthy. Heck, forget the parasites, think of what we feed or inject into the mainstay foods. I've eaten Sushi as often as possible, and I'm fine.

That is why we are advised to cook some foods well. Cooked, dead worms are protein, ingesting live worms is not okay.
But I'm glad you are well.

Pardon the pun, but that was wild!! A newscaster spoke with a woman who must be an animal expert. She said whales throats really aren't that big...not big enough for them to swallow a human, so they'll spit out anything that's uncomfortably large. He lucked out that that was the case! His father told him to stay calm. I wonder how that father could be so calm! I would have lost it if that were my child. But maybe the father also knew the whale would likely spit him out.

You do know that not all Sushi is raw fish, right?

The Japanese word sushi translates to "sour rice" in English. It's a Japanese dish of vinegared rice that's often served with raw fish, cooked egg, or vegetables. --AI

:) No, I didn't know that, sorry boss, I stand corrected.. When I hear the word 'Sushi', I see raw fish and rice and vegetables wrapped up in an artsy roll.
In my defense, in Hawaii, I once asked a Sushi maker in the Chinatown food court if I could get Sushi without the raw fish. She said no. S'truth

Well, if we're confessing - it's the raw fish I generally choose. :D
