How sushi started
I am not a history buff. In fact, my history knowledge is borderline embarrassing. But I think I have just found a piece of the past I could sink my teeth into – the history of sushi. Author Trevor Corson, an academic/lobster fisherman, explores this topic in his book The Zen of Sushi. And discovers that, “the sushi that we know today almost never came into existence at all, and it’s just a series of historical accidents that it did.” Yikes! For all the fascinating details, listen to the author discuss his book here.
