First bites

Submitted by Barbara on July 1, 2007 - 06:24.

I read somewhere awhile ago that when you're sitting in a sushi restaurant where the chef can see you, you're not supposed to eat the first bite of anything with any type of extra flavor (ie wasabi, soy sauce, etc). It is supposedly considered a respect thing to try the sushi and the chef's skills first before adding extra flavor. It's a little like tasting your food at someone's house first before pouring table salt all over it. But besides respect, I think that's always a good idea because you may find that the food is absolutely wonderful without additions.
