I really enjoyed this demonstration since I got to learn more about the history of sushi and its traditional form, instead of the way we are used to recognizing it in the U.S. I thought it was interesting how it was originally made in Southeast Asia as a way to control the putrefaction of the fish. However, this invention has evolved to what we now recognize as sushi. The chef did a really good job explaining the tools and steps to make sushi that it does not feel so foreign to me now. After, attending this demonstration I think it would be a good research project to analyze the evolution of dishes and how they change when they are introduced to a new society, as the way sushi and Mexican food have evolved outside of their original context.
