article review

After reading the article on "Man may have been borned in outer space", I felt very surprised. How can man be borned from outer space? After reading on, however, I began to feel that what the scientist had found made sense. Afterall, if the water on earth was brought to us by comets, why couldn't life? I feel that there is so much about our origin that we do not know of, and if we do not know about how we came about, who are we to make assupmtions on how animals are formed? The scientist have found traces of building blocks of biology in comets and this has made me realised that of all the things that there are in the world, what we know is but a mere basics, thus making me understand that learning is infinite and that we should never stop learning, even when we grow old, as there are tons of other things in which we can learn, and so learning is a never ending process.

My Favourite Food

My most favourite food is a Japanese delicacy called sashimi. It is often served raw with soya sauce or wasabi. Sashimi is actually very fresh, thin sliced pieces of fish. The special thing about sashimi is how it is caught and how it is killed before it is served to retain its freshness. Sashimi Grade' fish is caught by individual handline, and as soon as the fish is landed, its brain is pierced with a sharp spike, killing it instantly, then placed in slurried ice. This spiking is called the Ike jime process. Because the flesh thus contains minimal lactic acid from the fish dying slowly, it will keep fresh on ice for about 10 days without turning white, or otherwise degrading.
Sashimi is often the first course in a formal Japanese meal, but can also be the main course, presented with rice and Miso soup in separate bowls. I like sashimi because it taste very nice,and has a very distinctive flavour, particularly with soya sauce. The sashimi looks like pinkish slices of fish and it has very little smell, which makes me like it more. Often, when i go to a Japanese restaurent, Sashimi would be the first thing i order, and thus I feel that sashimi is indeed my favourite food.
