    It's called takeout (some people call it take away)

    I do too. Our store actually has a sushi counter where they make it for you as you wait.

    I take my 3 year old son to sushi with me. Eel/Avacado and Sweet potato tempura rolls for him. White tuna, Eel avacado, and Philadelphia for me. $3 dollars a roll during "Happy Hour".

    Y'know, I have the ability to both eat because I like the taste or eat because I'm fueling my body. I will buy grocery store sashimi and eat it for the fuel reason; if I want taste, I'll go with an excellent sushi place instead and pay a bit more. So, I see no shame in this! :smile:

    Being in Vancouver, sushi restaurants are almost as plentiful as Starbucks, and dirt cheap at that, so I feel pretty lucky. :smile:

    You can even make it at home. THAT is a really fun thing to do, either with kids (they'll be more likely to eat something if they helped make it) or make it part of a girls night, it's not hard to make, it's a bit cheaper...

    DUDE. Rachel. We should get together and make sushi!!! ... but you know what would happen? We'd get together and start drinking, and then we'd just eat the sashimi, because sticky rice is a PITA from what I've heard. LOL.

    But take out is a pain too because you have to unstrap all 3 kids from their carseats, cart them inside, restrap, etc.... There's actually a place here that'll do delivery (when they don't screw it up).

    I DO actually eat real sushi often, but I see nothing wrong with grabbing some rolls when at the store anyway. Today we were there because my 5 year old decided to tell me she needed an apple for school 30minutes before school started, which is of course during lunch time....

    Wait. Why am I defending this? I knew it would gross people out and that is why I posted it. Opps. Carry on.

    Damn straight, don't defend yourself! Food is food. You know what would make sushi snobs curl up and weep? My friend and I, back when we were dirt poor students, used to make homemade sushi rolls with deli meats (like pepperoni) as the filling. One of our friends ate them with ketchup. :laugh:

    I can one up ya... I don't even like sushi but pretended I did just so I would look cool to my friends. There was a hole in the wall chinese place at my college that would make it... and it was super expensive.. so I'm spending money on food, i don't like, just to look cool.

    Eat you're grocery store Sushi... isn't going to kill you!

    But it was half price. If I buy the fresh ones I usually just get the spicy tuna rolls for $5.
