my favorite food is sushi.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Sushi can be prepared with either brown or white rice. It is often prepared with raw seafood, but some varieties of sushi use cooked ingredients, and many others are vegetarian. Sushi is often served with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. Daikon radish is popular as a garnish. Sushi is often confused with sashimi, a related Japanese dish consisting of thinly sliced raw fish or occasionally meat, and an optional serving of rice. Sushi originates in a Southeast Asian dish, known today as \"narezushi\" ( \u2013 \"salted fish\"), stored in fermented rice for possibly months at a time. The lacto-fermentation of the rice prevented the fish from spoiling; the rice would be discarded before consumption of the fish. This early type of sushi became an important source of protein for its Japanese consumers. The term \"sushi\" comes from an antiquated grammatical form no longer used in other contexts, and literally means \"sour-tasting\"; the overall dish has a sour and umami or savoury taste. Narezushi still exists as a regional specialty, notably as \"funa-zushi\" from Shiga Prefecture. Vinegar began to be added to the preparation of narezushi in the Muromachi period (1336\u20131573) for the sake of enhancing both taste and preservation.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not a big fan of sushi which can be prepared with raw seafood although some varieties use cooked ingredients and there are some vegetarian options.
