My Favorite Food

My favorite food is sushi, I love it so much that if I could eat it every single day I would. Sushi was created in Japan during the 8th century. However, sushi has become popular all over the world. Sushi is made from fish, seaweed, and fermented rice. My favorite sushi roll is the California Roll, ironically enough this specific sushi roll was created in the United States of America and not in Japan. Some people do not find sushi appetizing because it is comprised of raw fish. The raw fish does not stop me from eating this delicious food at least once a week. Sushi is unique because it is ate with chopsticks not a fork or knife.
