For about a day or so I had been pondering about what to write in my first post on this blog (I know I have too much time on my hands). Considering I think about food almost constantly, I thought why not write about my favorite food, so here goes.
Sushi
Sushi
The word sushi means 'its sour'.
Originating from Japan, sushi is a combination of vinegared rice with raw fish/vegetables and made into rolls. Makizushi (my fav kind of sushi) is served inside or around sheets of seaweed. Followed closely is my second favorite - Nigirizushi. Sushi rice is moulded using your hands and a slice of fish/vegetable/tofu/sweet egg is placed on top of the rice (with some lovely wasabi underneath it).
I must discuss wasabi a bit more. Wasabi is known as the Japanese horseradish. With just enough wasabi the lovely green paste can delight and stimulate my taste buds, but add too much and you will surely feel it. It is my belief that wasabi could definitely help relieve a cold!!
Although sushi is very expensive where I live, when I have the money I buy it. Not only is it very healthy, it is extremely delicious and visually very attractive.

Curry
The word curry means 'sauce'.
Coming from Britain, how could I not like curry?! Its no surprise there are so many curry houses in Britain; at one point, it was voted the nation's (UK) number 1 dish.
There is nothing I love more than going to my local Indian restaurant and ordering a nice chicken tikka masala (surprise, surprise it originates from Britain) Succulent pieces of chicken are roasted and served in a red/orange colored sauce. As an accompaniment, I like to have some nice plain/garlic/peeshwari naan bread.
Lassi, is a must to have with a curry. No, im not talking about that lovable dog, im referring to the lovable drink! And lovable it truly is. A yoghurt based drink originally made to help cool down men working in the unbearable heat, lassi is great to help ease the mind - blowing heat from some curries.
These are my two favorite types of food, it may not seem a lot. But, I honestly adore most foods, so if I wrote them all, I would be writing page after page!
Please feel free to comment on your favorite food. Happy eating :)
