@Clark KentIf we ever have lunch together I will let you have the leafy garnishment off my medium rare steak plate; I will keep the tubers whether they be Idaho or red skinned.
Nowadays we use the terms sushi and sashimi interchangeably, but traditionally, sushi just meant ingredients (usually raw fish) WITH rice and sashimi is ingredients (usually raw fish) WITHOUT rice.
I prefer to call sushi by its real name—bait; and to use it to catch live fish, which I then serve the way the FSM intended—filleted, battered and fried.
We adapt foreign food names into English and use them wrong, or in limited ways. Nothing new there. Salsa is Spanish for sauce- any sauce, not just the kind we associate with Mexican food.
Sushi can and does have cooked meat on it, even at sushi restaurants. Like barbecued eel or cooked crab meat. Mmmm, I think I’ll go next door at lunch and get a sushi carryout

Of course Rita would attempt to make Sushi an oxymoron. Though isn’t the crab served in Sushi platters cooked?

I’m with Rita on this one.

Actually, “sushi” refers to the vinegared rice. Raw fish is sashimi. Some sushi happens to have sashimi on it.

And Rita misses the point once again…by a mile!

So instead you kill and eat plants. Sorry but humans as far as I can tell cannot exist without killing something else.

I am not fond of any uncooked fish or meat; it reminds me of my mother’s attempt at cooking.

The point is Rita doesn’t like raw fish. :)

The Good Lord told Noah he can eat meat. I’ll take his word over yours any day.

North Americans? Other countries call it sushi as well. It’s sushi in Australia. I was in Spain earlier this year, and it was sushi there.
