Sushi, Fingers or Chopsticks?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAs you all know, I am a lover of food  — almost all types. Recently I was reminiscing about the delights of sushi and how it is, for me, a finger food. This lead me to do some investigating. Here are some curious tidbits I found:

  • Even though most people in the U.S. use chopsticks to eat sushi, it’s traditionally eaten with the fingers.
  • Sushi caught on originally as a cheap, quick snack to eat with the hands while enjoying a theater performance.

Things to ponder when you next sit down to a plate of this delight, enjoy!
