many american's just aren't adventurous at all. that, and everything's cooked over here... people aren't used to raw anything (most people I know order their steak well-done too, it's kinda sad), and they fear whatever illnesses they can get from it. it's getting worse now too, since we're having ecoli and salmonella outbreaks, etc....people are starting to fear everything that hasn't been thoroughly cooked.

I love it personally...eel rolls...mmmm... it looks like a lot of people here like sushi too...but I think the majority of people here are more willing to completely immerse themselves in another culture, and are open to try new things. most people in the US just simply arent.

~laughs~ and when they see stuff like eel on the menu, it kinda freaks them out for some reason.
