I'm a relatively new sushi lover. I think probably 4 or 5 years ago I was with a bunch of friends at Tsunamis in Laffy Taffy and a friend convinced me to try some sushi. Previous to that the idea of raw fish was never appealing. So I tried it, and of course he didn't give me a manageable fried sushi piece... no, no, no. He gave me some piece that was completely raw. And of course, I spit it out and told myself, "Alright, I tried it, and it is confirmed. I hate sushi." So for the next 4 or 5 years I consistently turned down sushi.
Well about 3 or 4 months ago a friend of Tory's had a b-day party and they decided to go to a sushi joint, and I went along thinking that I'll just order a steak or something like I always do. Well, as my loving wife (then fiance) is supposed to do, she inquired as to why I didn't liked sushi. I gave the manly, "I just don't" response and of course she didn't let me off that easy. So after more prodding from her she discovered that my reason was not liking raw ingredients, and of course within minutes she had me try non-raw sushi, and guess what.... yep :)
