Sushi in Fairmont?
Last night jmaynard and I went to the grocery store for the usual items. We saw, and heard on the sound system, that Hy-Vee had a new item: sushi. I stopped and boggled when I saw it. Sushi is not something I expected to see in Fairmont, let alone in a Fairmont grocery store. I had some reservations about prepackaged sushi, but more curiosity. We bought one package of spicy salmon rolls to try them.
This noon we tried them. Jay thought they were okkay but they really didn't do anything for him. My impression is that the rolls were tolerable sushi but nothing great. Sort of like how a microwave cheeseburger bought at a grocery store compares to a proper, freshly made cheeseburger: It'll do in a pinch, but something is lacking. And it wasn't just that the wasabi seemed to be a bit on the weak side. Also, it was a bit strange to eat sushi with a fork.
So now, at least for a while, there is a local source of sushi that can at least quench the worst of any cravings I might have. It might also be a way for me to try a few specific things from time to time. However, it is not an adequate replacement for going someplace that really does sushi right.
