I think you meant foie gras and tamago sushi is sweet egg. And is there a point? Even that wouldn't agree with a vegan's standard, although it may for a lacto-ovo vegetarian. So are you suggesting someone go to a sushi bar and order tamago all night? Pickled ginger is served with sushi as is miso soup, wasabi and various vegatables in certain hand rolls. Are those correctly classified as 'sushi'? I think not. All I'm saying is that when one sits at a traditional and authentic sushi bar, they should not expect the sushi chef to always agree to cater to their special needs. Just because someone had a cucumber, avocado, papaya, pickled jalapeno roll with a side of chutney at some Americanized place is no reason to expect them to have their frivolous requests granted at a place that takes their cuisine seriously.
