Fish Sticks and Green Jello

My friend sent me a clip on how to give a proper man hug which he felt was pretty dead on. I watched it but considering I don't need to give man hugs I didn't get as much out of it as some of the other clips on the site. In particular the 'How to eat Sushi' clip attracted my attention. Back when I was in college my Taiwanese friend (with Japanese relatives) taught me how to eat sushi properly. In particular how to eat 'Nigiri'. Since then I haven't seen more than maybe one person eat nigiri in the same way making me wonder if I was indeed eating it correctly or not. Since I pick up the Nigiri with my fingers and eat it versus picking it up with my chopsticks this could be perceived as incorrect. Not so though!

Per the following clip this is indeed the way to eat it. Also I liked the tip on dipping the fish side of it into the soysauce as opposed to the rice side, which makes total sense but once again most people pick it up with their chopsticks and dip the bottom into the soysauce. Another nice tip is what side of the chopsticks to use to pick up fish from the communal plate (other end from which you eat) and where to place your chopsticks when you're not using them (do not lean them on your plate).

Watch and learn!
