I Couldn't Bring Myself To Eat Sushi From The Supermarket

In an attempt to save a few dollars, I tried going to my local chain supermarket for sushi but failed miserably. I just couldn't bring myself to do it— buy it or eat it. The ingredients were ridiculous and I was utterly repulsed to read: 'imitation crab', 'crab flavor', among the million of other ingredients.

Now, I'm not against processed food or even packaged foods with long ingredients, but when it comes to raw food, like fish, I kind of am. Food poisoning is not something I'm really interested in experiencing. So, I sucked it up and went to Whole Foods. I chose something pretty simple so it didn't break my wallet and was still cheaper than a restaurant. It was even made with brown rice, which I rarely ever eat at all. It was ok. It could have used slightly more toasted sesame seeds and some type of cream(?) drizzle on top. Yes, I'm not a 'true' sushi consumer and actually like those american-bastardized sushi-cream drizzles on top, allowing me to avoid dipping it in soy sauce.

Anywho, this was more than I intended to write about this but there you go.
