Shropshire! You will be pleased to know that many years ago I spent several pleasant evenings at the Bridges Long Mynd Youth Hostel (when I could find my way back from the lovely pub down the road)

wayne, goodness no, im no londoner, i just take the filthy lucre and run home to shropshire every friday.

I’d say my fav dish isssssss Pigeon and Black pudding salad dressed with reduced Modena classico washed down with a Petrus ‘47(when some other muppet is trying to impress,and more importantly,paying).@ a certain Mr Ramsey’s in Chelsea that lot would overshoot the MT limit by abouttttt £14,000,as i said, the other guy/guyette would be paying.

Mala,
It isn’t all raw. If you want to try sushi, start with ebi (shrimp) and Kani (crab), both cooked before being made into sushi. Next try eel, which is toasted (grilled). After that, the most familiar for a less than adventuresome diner are probably salmon and yellowtail–both raw, but very mild flavored. That should give you a good start. Kanpai!

Rudy, I’ve got the “don’t eat all day, get drunk” part down already so I guess there’s only the last crucial step to go!

I don’t quite get the sushi scene, but I’m all about expanding my food horizons…unless it involves stewed eel, that is.

RMcB is clearly upset because sushi took off while his favored stewed eel with mash and liquor never made it out of Essex

Mala,don’t eat all day, get drunk, have someone else pay for sushi.

Fugu liver is lovely im told. JOKE!!! It’ll kill you faster than a russian in a london sushi bar.

Never understood the sushi scene.To me it’s all bollocks over substance.

I am a complete sushi virgin and your sushi posts always make me wish I was brave enough to lay back and think of England (or would that be Japan?) and just try the stuff. I’m not a big fan of raw fish, but I know there’s other options. Got any sushi advice for a beginner, oh Midtown Lunch Guru?
