How many things can you eat raw?

Well you know, there's a difference between sushi, which can be partially cooked and sashimi which is all raw. A sushi roll has rice, which is cooked, seaweed, which doesn't require cooking and some type of filling. A roll with avocado, cream cheese and smoked salmon or cucumber wouldn't require anything else cooked. My mother used to turn up her nose at sushi until I pointed ouut that if she could eat lox she could eat the sushi. As for the subject of raw fish, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to digest though I don't like thick pieces. Many people eat things like carpaccio and don't think of what they are eating. For all you raw food phobes if you're some place where people are serving raw fish or shrimp you can always make ceviche and "cook" the seafood my marinating it in citrus juice for about ten minutes. Some vegetables are good raw and some are better cooked. Personally I am not crazy about foods like raw broccoli since they require so much chewing. I don't get peopel who refuse to eat salad though. Lettuce and foods that have a lot of water feel great going down and they are so good for you!
