Lancer--funny story!! I would have sent it back, as I cannot stand any kind of raw fish, sushi, etc.

I remember being in Germany, years ago, trying to figure out what an item was on the menu. The waitress spoke some English and we spoke almost ZERO German, and she tried to explain it, without success. One of us decided to take a chance and order it, even though we had NO idea what it was. When the waitress brought it out, all three of us said at the same time "shish kebob!" The waitress promptly brought out a piece of paper for us to write it down for her, so she could explain it in English to other patrons.
