Mamma Sushi

There are certain foods one is not supposed to eat when with child, all of them delicious and all of a sudden immeasurably more appealing than they ever were before when you could eat them whenever you felt like it.  Lucky us whose pregnancies are spanning Lent, making our sacrifices of deli meat, soft cheese, alcohol and juicy, rare steak a given.  Sushi, too, is under scrutiny and there's lots of varying information about whether or not it's safe to eat.  These days the general concensus seems to be that it's okay if you eat it the same day that it's made, but in case you want to be extra careful you can order "mamma sushi".  I've never seen this in the States and I ate a lot of sushi over there but every sushi restaurant I've been to in Sweden has a selection of vegetarian and cooked fish on the menu especially for those of use carrying chopsticks for two.  That's Sweden's Japanese looking out for our tiniest citizens.
