Sounds like you had a wonderful time!  You have more guts than I, cause I haven't yet tried sushi, although they say that it is not all raw. And yes, cooked sushi is still sushi, apparently.  But those strawberries sound yummy!

I know I have eaten lamb's brains in Jerusalem one time, but can't rightly remember the taste...but I know they were nice, cause I didn't spit them out or anything.
Mom and Dad said that when they were home missionaries in South Dakota, that they were invited to eat with the Sioux people, and were sure they had dog...apparently it is slimy...but they just didn't make a scene of asking what it was...just prayed and ate...::::

We ate at a Japanese place, here in Ogden a month or so ago, with our pastor and his wife, and it was the grossest stuff all of us have ever eaten. I was the only lucky one, cause I ordered curry, which wasn't great but not bad either.  They said they only had enough for one, which was strange in the first place, since it was on the menu....but I don't think they get a lot of customers....pastor's wife had cold buckwheat noodles...she didn't know they were going to be cold, and some deep fried something or other, that she said wasn't too bad...and my pastor and husband had a mixed bowl with all kinds of mysterious things...one bit looked like snot..and we found out that it was rice noodles...pieces of tofu, noodles...at least the soup was warm....and grated beef, kinda like the powder that comes off of jerky when it is cut...my husband is not one to complain, and ate it all, but have talked about it for ages after....the pastor and wife went and got carryout food on the way home...
