  That Pink concert last night was wicked! It's amazing how someone so small can have such an incredible stage presence... Just got back now from lunch. Went down to Cap 3000, the nearest big shopping centre, and had lunch at the sushi bar there. The French aren't, as a general rule, much into sushi.
Surprising really, when you see how many French people order "steak tartare" for lunch... (that's basically really fresh, raw beef, served with raw onion slices, herbs, salad and chips). I love sushi though. I'm lucky enough not to have had a bad experience with it yet, unlike some people I know. It's one of those "aquired tastes" you generally tend to either pick up later in life, or just hate for ever, like olives for some people.
Raw fish by itself really isn't that exciting, or especially tasty, but when you combine its subtle flavour with sushi rice and soy with a little wasabi sauce, you've got a taste explosion, that lingers deliciously in your mouth until you clear your platate with a thin slice of pickled ginger, ready for the next delight... Hmm. My mouth's watering just at the thought of it! If you've not had sushi before, but are willing to try even though you may be a little apprehensive of the experience, I suggest you go to a proper sushi bar, with a real (preferably old, and therefore experienced) sushi chef who prepares the sushi for you in front of your eyes.
Start with some of the less imposing tastes, such as a cucumber "maki" (small roll of rice wrapped in dried seaweed, and with a cube of cucumer in the middle), and dip it into a little soy.
If you like the taste combination, chances are you'll like the fish sushis too, so go for something like a tuna "maki", like the cucumber one, but with a small cube of tuna inside, instead. Most people tend to find that the first time they try fish sushi (i.e. the thin slice of fish on a mouch-sized portion of rice), that it's a bit too much, to fast. So, if you are in a sushi bar with a real sushi chef, ask him to prepare smaller sized salmon or "fatty tuna" (the best bit of the tuna) sushi for you, as it is much more easy to handle, for your first time...
If you like spicy things, then you might enjoy dissolving a little of the green wasabi paste into your soy bowl before you dip your sushi into it. OK, enough about sushi now, I need to work... ;-) Going to see "I, robot" tomorrow night in Cannes - really looking forward to it.
