Please control your temper here. Even high quality raw fish is just mild to tasteless. That's why most civilized people all over the world do not eat raw fish.
First of all, the statement where you point out that civilized people do not eat raw fish is incorrect.
Other than the small percentage of outliers due to personal preferences, the most civilized people in the world are THE people that eat sashimi. The people that snicker and sneer when they see sashimi are usually people that are so ghetto that they haven't even had the chance to try sashimi in the first place (other than the personal taste preference bunch that i previously mentioned). Countless brilliant minds all over the world enjoy sashimi. And here you're calling them uncivilized? This is a joke of the century.
Additionally, I propose that the first statement you listed in the quote above possibly originated from two reasons. First reason being the possibility that you have very weak taste buds. This may be due to access ingestion of salt. If so, I advise you to cut it down because too much salt not only weakens your taste buds but it is also very unhealthy. Second reason being that you just lack the ability to enjoy a marvelous thing called "freshness". Over the history of mankind, humans have been inventing methods and objects to aid in enhancing the freshness of food. Even Chinese, especially guangdong cuisine, go very far to preserve the freshness in food. People all over the world insist to do this even if it means investments of a lot of money and time. Meaning "freshness", unlike sweet, sour, bitter or spicy (which are easily achieved) is the most sought after taste all over the world. Those who eat sashimi (or should I say those who truly knows how to enjoy sashimi), are really looking to enjoy the freshness of the fish. The freshness so strong that you can taste it with every bit of your tongue. But of course, not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to recognize such a marvelous thing. And I'm saddened to know that we are unable to share it with you. |
