Last night I ate seafood, mainly fish. It was the first time I eat seafood after eight month vegetarian journey, and it was SURREAL, yes, more than anything, surreal, and also amazing.
I was more curious than excited before. After the experience, my curiosity was fixed, and my excitement followed. OMG, the whole experience changes my view of sushi, and brings my understanding of food to another level. Tris took me to Jinpachi in
It felt like it was my first time eating fish. I took each bite so slowly, and each bite seems so new, so fresh, and so interesting. I nurtured every piece of fish, trying to figure something out. I was having a conversation with the fish, about the texture, about the taste, about the tenderness, about the color. It was the first time I am so focused, so concentrated on the food itself. I don’t think I’ve that concentrated on the food itself.
If before I can not fully understand my take away on vegetarian, last night eating fish truly makes me understand the point and value of me being vegetarian. And I appreciate my choice. It is that experience that makes me appreciate- appreciate all the food I can get, appreciate the environment human beings live in, appreciate the creativeness we human have that create such amazing cuisine from the nature we live in, appreciate green, appreciate animal, appreciate culture…It is this appreciation that makes me cherish the nature, cherish whatever the nature gives us. It makes me realize that balance and moderation is even more valuable and important. I am more motivated, inspired to live a healthy and moderate life.
