Sushi

[Unknown Entity]

I like sushi, but it rare I have it, and when I don't have a bloody clue what I'm eatting lol. There has always been something which bugged me about it... Everyone says that sushi is raw fish. BUT I keep being told that sushi means "with rice". Now I don't know what to believe.

All the sushi I have had doesn't seem to have fish with it. Mainly rice wrapped up in this dark green leaf with peppers and spice's... and soy sauce. Sometimes wusabi.

Am I even eatting sushi lol? I'm sorry if I haven't, and if I've just spammed here lol!

Everyone says that sushi is raw fish. BUT I keep being told that sushi means "with rice". Now I don't know what to believe.

From what I've heard, "sushi" is the actual fish, and "sushimi" adds "with rice". My brother spent nearly a year in Korea, and he would talk about "kegogi" and "bulgogi". "-gogi" means "cooked meat with rice", basically, and "bul" is beef, while "ke" or "keg" is dog.

Of course, judging from that, it might verywell be that "sushi" does mean "with rice", and "sushimi" is something different ... hell, I don't know.

EDIT: From dictionary.com:

sushi: cold boiled rice moistened with rice vinegar, usually shaped into bite-size pieces and topped with raw seafood (nigiri-zushi) or formed into a long seaweed-wrapped roll, often around strips of vegetable or raw fish, and sliced into bite-size pieces (maki-zushi).

sashimi: raw fish cut into very thin slices.

So sushi is the fish with rice and such, or rolls, and sashimi is just fish.
