Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Sushi?

Sushi perhaps provides the broadest palette for flavors. Simple sushi rice can be transformed into something greater than the sum of its parts with a slice of fresh fish, or an egg omelette, or even with wackier combinations of cream cheese and smoked salmon. Along with a drizzle of soy sauce, a dab of wasabi, and a few slices of pickled ginger. How much do you know about sushi? Take the quiz! »

Video: The Underground Cookery Murders, a CSI-Style Cooking Show

The Underground Cookery School in London launched a new web cooking show called The Underground Cookery Murders where food is "murdered." It's their little homage to CSI but don't get your hopes up—there are no Laurence Fishburne cameos. In this first installment, chef Matt Kemp goes into detective mode to rescue a plate of dead-looking sushi and bring it back to life, re-interpreted as a tastier California Roll. Watch the video, after the jump.

Sushi Cat Game

I wasn't up until 2 a.m. last night playing Sushi Cat. No...not at all. If you're amused by fat blobby animals bouncing around a screen while eating every piece of sushi that lies in its trajectory, this game is for you. What can you learn from this game? That by achieving FULL BELLY, anything is possible. Or some things are possible. There may also be a lesson about physics in regards to the way the flubber-like cat bounces around the screen. If nothing else, it'll probably make you laugh. [via @raphael_brion] Related: 'Sushi Go Round' Game...

Mixed Review: Instant Miso Soup

In the past several weeks I've had very bad luck with ordering food for delivery. As a New Yorker, this is particularly distressing, as we tend to order takeout more frequently than we turn on our own stoves. It all started with a grilled chicken salad: I asked for the balsamic vinaigrette on the side, it arrived soused in a dressing so thick it bordered on mayonnaise. I practically had to spoon through it just to find the lettuce. Then, I got a falafel platter with ho-hum hummus instead of the babaganoush I had been craving. Finally—and this was the worst of all—my sashimi entree arrived all by its lonesome, without the miso soup. I have no problem sending...
