Cheap as Chips (well Sushi Actually)

Mmmmmmm. Isn't this picture mouth watering?

Well it would be if you were a fan of sushi. In the UK I eat sushi every chance I get so it might surprise you to know that since I've got here I've only had one piece of sushi that I bought in the first week from small vendor in the city.

It was horrible and made me boke as it was full of some kind of mayo that was disgusting and made me feel like I was swallowing a tube of slime wrapped in seaweed. You get the picture.

Anyway, today I was walking passed the cafes near the flat and ventured a look in one that sold sushi. I picked up this take-away box for $6!!! Can you believe it? 24 pieces for about £2.40! In Ichiban in Partick the 12 piece mixed sushi platter is £12 (about 30 Aussie dollars) which I could use to buy 5 of these here - that would be 120 pieces of sushi. Chow-tastic!

As for the quality - well Ichiban wins by a considerable margin, however, it was not too bad and I can see myself getting back on the Sushi Train again (no pun intended for those of you who have eaten at "Sushi Train").
