About Sushi

According to all sushi is a Japanese dish, while the Japanese started to trade sushi, they were not the ones whom created the dish.  Long ago the Chinese fisherman had no fridges to store their food, there were not a lot of options for them to.  Because the boats were made out of wood, they had to come up with means to eat, but not make fire on their wooden vessels.  As such, when they went to land, the would make barrels of rice, treat it with vinegar so that the rice would stay soft for longer.  They would then embark on their fishing journeys, taking some of the fish in their hauls, cut them up, and mix the fish with the rice in order to fill their bellies.  This is how sushi started.  In later years the Japanese would take some more colorful seafood, letting the sushi look nice and transformed the Chinese meal into the beautiful artful food that is present all around the world
