Did you ever wonder why the poor man’s food of white rice has been coupled with the rich man’s delicacy of raw fish to make sushi? Quite the paradox, no? Colorful, super-fresh fish, packed with raw protein derived from the depths of our diverse, oceanic ecosystem gently laid on a bed of white, stale, and nutrient-stripped rice.
In any case, the last few times I have eaten at my choice sushi spots, I can’t help but notice that there is more and more rice in relation to raw fish in my sushi. I keep hearing that there isn’t any inflation in the economy, but the growing rice to fish ratio in my sushi is clearly telling me otherwise.
