How do you see Sushi? Delicious or Uncooked fish? This is a question that was posted on the Nintendo Wii’s “Everybody Votes Channel.” Being that I’m of an Asian background, I easily voted “Delicious” and predicted that it will also be the most popular answer. A week later, the most popular answer turns out to be “Uncooked Fish,” which honestly completely took me by surprise. This channel also showcases a map of the US and highlights the most popular response by state. For this question, the states that had the most votes on “Delicious” were all the west coast states and one state on the east coast. The rest of the country however voted “uncooked fish.” What is this, a red state blue state thing again? Sometimes I do take for granted the fact that there’s still a lot of people out there who aren’t well versed on asian foods outside of Chinese fast food.

ah but see, how do you convince people to even try uncooked fish at the high prices? hell, most ppl who eat sushi are probably ordering the cooked rolls anyways.
Booo! Both wrong! Sushi refers to food on vinegared rice (check wikipedia). Uncooked fish is sashimi, which is delicious too by the way.
That’s true Dar, but I’m basing this on the perceived context of the question. See, there’s some ignorance in the question already.
