#the texture of avocado makes me gag. I love sushi. eating it in the US is a special kind of hell.

I understand that American versions of world cuisines are valid artforms and cultures in their own right. I truly do. There is nothing about immigrant culture cuisines that make them less worthy of respect than the original.

That said, if we could please stop treating avocado as a default ingredient in sushi, I would be so grateful. It can be there! In some dishes! Just not almost all of them! It shouldn't be a common as the rice itself.

Please, I'm begging the Japanese restaurants of the United States to be a bit more discerning with how many dishes get avocado. I'm drowning here.
