They think they are being "cool" -- instead they look crazy - but let's be honest - how many westerners know what Sashimi really means -- including the UA menu writers,....
Now - to me if you pay $7k to fly to the EU from NA and want some sashimi and you get cooked Cod -- yeah -- that sucks - especially when EU / JP/ ME airlines get it...
When I ask people whether they would like sushi for lunch or dinner, I often get responses: "thank you, but I don't eat raw fish". I also often been asked what is sashimii? "Is it raw fish like sushi?" We all know sushi does not necessary have raw fish or even fish!
There are a number of European hotel restaurants serve smoked salmon or white fish as part of breakfast buffet items, and I have seen the signs that say "smoke sashimi"....
