Hello Foodies,

Yesterday I really fancied some Sushi, but when I got to the place that I expected to be a Sushi shop, it wasn't. It ended up being a small counter in a supermarket. I was disappointed as there was nothing there to choose from at all. Rather than have to travel for another 45 mins or so to the place I should have gone to in the first place, I decided to to into Waitrose and see what they had on offer as I have had Sushi from there before.

"A poke bowl with sushi rice, shiitake mushrooms, edamame beans, cooked peppers, avocado, pickled red cabbage & rocket with a soy sesame dressing."

This really wasn't what I wanted. I went to Waitrose's Sushi counter and again they had barely anything to choose from. At this point I was getting really annoyed with myself and I should have just taken a trip into the city where I could have got exactly what I wanted. Nevertheless, I managed to find a shelf that had some Japanese fresh food. I wouldn't normally go for a vegan dish (not that I think there is anything wrong with vegan food) as I prefer some sort of meat or fish to go with. I did pick up a pack of prawns and edamame beans that I thought would go well. Once I got to sit down to dinner and I opened my bowl, I poured over the dressing and mixed. Once I started to eat this dish, it tasted far better than I was expecting. I loved the freshness of the dish. The avocado was creamy, sweet peppers, totally loved the pickled red cabbage and all the other veg had a nice bite and added callout to the dish. I loved the texture of the rice too and the bowl did fill me up. I was glad I added the prawns and the other edamame beans I had, but to be truthfully honest, the dish didn't really need them. It was so nice on it's own. I paid £2.79 for mine as it was reduced because it had the same date to use by.

This is priced at £4.00. I'm not sure if I would pay the full price for it as it does seem a little steep considering it's rice and veg.However, that said. I would eat this again. I would like to try some of their other bowls, but the shelf was empty and this was the only one on offer. Really filled me up. Tasted so fresh and healthy and considering I normally have a takeaway on a Sunday, I was very pleased I had something that tasted good and was good for me.
