Blog 4: My favourite food: sushi
A typical Japanese dish made with rice. It usually contains fish or seafood and vegetables can also be added. This is made with its base ingredient, rice, vegetables, fish, even fruit could be added (papaya or pineapple for example), then wrapped in nori seaweed and on top with avocado, salmon, tuna, sesame, etc., this by means of a bamboo mat which helps to give it the shape of a roll. I love it because you can combine various ingredients and flavours in one bite, plus you can add sauces to give it another twist. I also like the derivatives of this food, sashimi, gohan, temaki, gyozas and all that. Sushi is often considered a dangerous food product because it contains raw seafood and fish, which are susceptible to harbouring bacteria and/or parasites. Contamination by bacteria such as "Salmonella" is another of the dangers of eating raw fish. However, tuna and salmon are great sources of iodine, vitamin D and protein.
