We should probably add a new category to the blog, something along the lines of “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up.” This post would certainly fit. The Norwegian Seafood Council has sponsored Human Sushi, a series of dances to interpret sushi and sashimi recipes. From their website:
The Human Sushi is a performance group that interprets sushi recipes in their own way. This cheerful gang is led by Arthur, an energetic Norwegian speaking Frenchman. Together they dance until both maki, nigiri and sashimi. Which dance performance do you like best?
You can forget sushi and sashimi eating for a long time:

Japan finds high radiation levels in fish: TEPCO
(AFP) – 1 day ago
TOKYO — A fish contaminated with radiation levels more than 2,500 times the legal limit has been caught near Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, its operator said Friday.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) said caesium equivalent to 254,000 becquerels per kilogramme — or 2,540 times more than the government seafood limit — was detected in a “murasoi” fish. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g-u35SA7X3umEbsg9H08OWm1UHew?docId=CNG.1b97d97c19ef1173f82b9ae0a3321f2d.4b1
Fortunately not all fish swim near Fukishima.

Louis,
Nyotaimori is definitely more interesting than interpretive dance.
