Tonight, before heading out to an All-Candidate’s debate for my riding, I stopped at a Japanese restaurant for some Miso Soup, Seaweed Salad and a couple Temaki (sushi rolled like a cone).
I'm not sure if you've had seaweed salad before, but if you haven't, it looks kinda like string beans with a hint of slime, and is very crunchy. The "tangy" sauce, was--uh--different; the dish tasted like what I suspected it might. What that flavour is, I don't know. They were very crunchy and you had to really chomp on them. I did manage to eat my whole plate, and hopefully nobody saw me battling it out with my gag refelex.
Anyways, why did I subject myself to seaweed salad and seaweed, cone-rolled sushi, when I prefer sashimi (raw fish, no seaweed) so much more?
That headline is one reason.
The Japanese have been withholding information on the Fukushima disaster, and it’s not far-fetched to believe that Canadian and US governments may be withholding information too. They’re telling us not to worry and don’t feel it’s necessary to test for radiation as it may hurt “the industry”.
