don't like steamed or broiled fish, too fishy! Could eat fish three times a day fried or sauteed.





Then you couldn't stand sushi or sashimi. Too bad. I remember I saw 2 women (in their 40's, my age) when they were appalled to see an Asian mother feed her child (approx. 2-3 yrs.) old some sushi.

Fried dill pickles?

When we were cycling ana camping along the way with our panniers all over the Eastern Canadian maritime provinces, we were disappointed in most towns outside of Halifax (capital city of Nova Scotia), their local fresh seafood was...deep-fried. Well, I should say...appalled. I can't taste the goodness of seafood if covered up in greasy batter.

I don't even enjoy tempura either....the Japanese light deep-frying with panko crumbs for shrimp, cut veggies, etc. To me, it's a cheap, unhealthy way to convince non-Asians to like Japanese food.

You'll find me ordering a bento box of Japanese food goodies --without the tempura option.

My dislike for deep fried food probably started as a child. We rarely prepared deep-fried food at home. My mother was paranoid about dangerous hot oil with 6 children running around. She heard enough stories from my father who was a restaurant cook. We didn't have a kitchen with door to lock.
