11/11/2003 08:04 PMThe hottest Japorn export since bukkake? Or a dehumanizing,
exploitative stunt? The provocative trend of presenting sushi on the
body of an
au naturel female model migrates to the US. Chaos
ensues. Please, please, be careful with the wasabi.
Chopsticks at the ready, patrons line up. Hours earlier, across town
on the campus of the University of Washington, eight activists, mostly
Asian-American women, express outrage at what they call the
prostitution of sushi and the exploitation of women. They plot their
strategy.
(...)While the promoter and the sushi model say this melding of
prandial and sexual is performance art, Bonzai's patrons --men and
women of various ethnicities --say it merely adds to the restaurant's
sensual vibe. Opponents say treating women like a serving platter
reinforces attitudes that make domestic and sexual violence so
prevalent.

Naked sushi in Seattle update
Naked sushi in Seattle update
12/02/2003 04:57 PMOur pornpals at
DazeReader
say:
Naked sushi in Seattle update. Dan Savage
ridiculed both the "clenchbutts" for protesting naked sushi and
the local media for giving them attention. His one criticism: "How
come no boy plates?" In the interests of equal opportunity
objectification, The Stranger sponsored Naked Doughnuts at the
same restaurant on a recent Friday night. "Two good-looking guys will
be laid out on the bar and covered with Top Pot doughnuts.
. . . Ogle the boys, eat the donuts, fuck the clenchbutts."
The restaurant owners invited the two men back for sushi night, so now you
can eat sushi off naked women and naked men in Seattle. Bonzai

serve food on the bodies of naked women, nor are various
Japanese porn sites displaying X-rated human sashimi platter tableaus.

apparent spoof of the ongoing
International Naked Lady Sushi Controversy (marginally
work-safe, I suppose).

The Times on frozen sushi
The Times on frozen sushi
04/09/2004 04:06 PMInteresting article in today's NY Times about the common practice
of freezing sushi fish, Sushi
Fresh From the Deep...the Deep Freeze.
But because of health concerns and growing demand, 50
to 60 percent of sushi in the United States is frozen at some point in
its journey from the ocean, according to wholesalers. And rare is the
sushi restaurant that tells customers upfront that they may be eating
fish that has been in deep freeze for up to two years.
Most would be even more surprised to learn that if
the sushi has not been frozen, it is illegal to serve it in the United
States.
I used to be a huge sushi fan, but lately I find the appeal is
wearing off. After having it for dinner last night, I was even
thinking, "I'm done with sushi for a while." Reading this article
doesn't make me want to change my mind, I don't care how 'fresh' the
fish still tastes. There's just something about frozen fish that I
find totally unappealing. Even if that's the way I've been eating it
all along.

Culinary Professionals and offered some food-related investment
advice: If sushi restaurants are new to a country, and are succeeding,
buy shares in the stocks of that country. Raw fish, of course, can be
toxic. Quality can be hard to monitor with the naked eye. Sushi
consumption is a sign that people...

05/06/2004 10:03 AMThe New York Times, in a story today entitled "The Internet's Wilder Side," gives comfort to those in law
enforcement and other nannyish places who will want to regulate
Internet Relay Chat.
The story luridly touts IRC's evils with almost no recognition of its
manifest benefits. Oh, there's the deep-in-the-story quote from
someone pointing out the free-speech part of this, and a note that
there are completely legitimate uses, but the overwhelming tone of the
piece is anti-IRC. A shame.

02/01/2005 08:38 PMXeni Jardin:
Last week, in the throes of a low-carb-induced delirium, I posted a
bunch of stuff on BoingBoing about high-concept chow. Twinkies, sushi,
chocolate, and combinations thereof. One of those entries pointed to a
photo of "savory twinkies" by reader Ranjit Bhatnagar; he has now very
kindly blogged the recipe for us all. He says, "Of course, it really
comes down to 'Wrap cheese with polenta, bake, and serve,' but it was
more fun to do a photo essay." If you look closely at the recipe
photos, you can see a few clumps of snow from last week's New York
blizzard.

to Ranjit's recipe, and
Link
to a beautiful collection of "produce scans" on his blog.
Speaking of odd food, here's some Hello
Kitty-shaped sushi (thanks numlok), and there is a chocolate
cake disguised as a giant head of cabbage. (thanks, heidi). Special
thanks to all the readers who submitted that
website about people in Japan who carve elaborate designs in the
flesh of watermelons -- but I'm kinda holding out for the website
about people in Japan who carve elaborate watermelon designs in their
own flesh.
