Urgh, who eats sushi at their desk with their fingers and their gob open?
I am about to brain him with the chair! Angry

I’m surprised at all these finger eaters. What about keeping your fingers away from the hot wasabi so you don’t accidentally touch your eyes later and regret your life decisions? Or do you finger eaters just not use wasabi?

Ginfordinner · 25/02/2020 19:32

I hate wasabi. Now, pickled ginger I can't get enough of.

SinglePringle · 25/02/2020 19:36

I too am amazed at those eating sushi with their fingers. Chopsticks here. Often at my desk.

Mouth closed though.

Bluerussian · 25/02/2020 19:38

Revolting man, tell him to close his mouth while chewing.

Sushi is not supposed to be eaten with chopsticks.

You can get also vegan sushi

There is no excuse for an open mouth.

HaddawayAndShite · 25/02/2020 20:03

Twas whoopsied as well!
Why does the fact he bought reduced food add anything to this?

Definitely (even though I don't know the meaning of 'whoopsied').

Just tell him, please.

You put the wasabi on top and pick it up by the edges, easy.

custardbear · 25/02/2020 20:51

Perhaps say oh dear is that hot? you're eating with your mouth open 😆

I bloody hate HATE people eating with their mouths open ... I'm looking at you my antipodean cousin!! 🤨.

jackparlabane · 25/02/2020 20:57

You squirt the wasabi out of the little packet onto the sushis, no problem.

FixTheBone · 25/02/2020 21:03

Fish is not an issue - fresh fish, hence fresh sushi/sashimi should be near enough odorless to anyone more than 3 feet away...

...now, the fuckwit who microwaves smoked mackarel every day at our place - when I find them..... .....

GiveHerHellFromUs · 25/02/2020 21:47

@FixTheBone we even get grumpy 'all staff' emails at our work telling that knob off Grin

justilou1 · 25/02/2020 21:50

Actually, sushi fingers all over keyboard is really unhygienic.

Theknacktoflying · 25/02/2020 21:57

Eating raw seafood and rice (although can be delicious) is asking for trouble if not properly stored or made.

There is also a higher incidence of Parasitic worms in guts of Japanese because of the high fish content in the diet and fact that the seafood is incorrectly stored and transported ...

Who eats sushi 🤮

c75kp0r · 25/02/2020 22:01

worms seems like a suitable punishment for open-mouthed eating

what suitable punishment is waiting for the tea slurper

if I don't blap her over the head tomorrow and be done with it.

Ginfordinner · 25/02/2020 22:50

@KatherineJaneway I do. I love it. I don't tend to eat sashimi though. I prefer veggie or meat sushi or sushi with cooked prawns.

In case you missed posts above, sushi is not raw fish. Sashimi is.

Likethebattle · 26/02/2020 00:28

You are meant to mix the wasabi with the soy sauce. There is usually a little sort of bit on the tray that you can mix them. You then dip the sushi into the mix.

DangerMouse17 · 26/02/2020 00:35

Who eats sushi 🤮

Japanese people like me. No need to be so ridiculous about it. Hmm

DangerMouse17 · 26/02/2020 00:36

Also what I do is squeeze the wasabi into the soy sauce...then dip!

Patroclus · 26/02/2020 00:42

People who endelssly moan about other people's food, epecially fish are the pits.

*Japanese people like me. No need to be so ridiculous about it.” hmm

IHaveBrilloHair · 26/02/2020 00:52

@Ginfordinner
I always want to say that too!

ZombieFan · 26/02/2020 02:05

Does no one else wonder why op is staring into a work colleges mouth whilst they are eating? It would never occur to me to do that!
