Too many to count. My mother was a military wife, and seemed to wind up with Japanese girlfriends. As a child my favorite was suki yaki. Then, as an adult, I moved to Hawaii, and this non-fish-loving woman (also a military vet and wife) fell in love with sushi and sashimi. When I have a yen for fried food, tempura. Do not ask me why my mother's friends were all Japanese. Military life is funny -- all of my childhood friends had French mothers, with the exception of one, and she was French-Canadian.
