I'm disappointed. I can't find any evidence of a sushi place that has started to offer a polonium roll yet. (It should be really spicy.) Hopefully someone will soon, and it will catch on, so in 50 years we have this utterly inexplicable food name that makes for some excellent trivia.

Supposedly the Russian spy was poisoned in a Sushi bar. :)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it. If you get the fish from a reputable source like Uwajimaya right before you roll it, I'll try it, provided that you don't put dairy products in it. I'm philosophically opposed to dairy in sushi.

It's not a sexy poison, unlike fugu (http://www.shiki-sushi.com/shiki_menu_fugu.htm).

What? How is polonium not a sexy poison? It's radioactive! It's a nice exotic way to die - only two confirmed kills! It keeps lunar rovers warm at night! It's used to track Russian mafia! In what universe is this not the sexiest of all poisons, barring free quark mass?

Polonium Rôle

Oh yes, it's very sexy for the poisoner. I meant it's not sexy for the person who's ingested it. It's a slow lingering death in a hospital while they try all this chelation therapy and stuff. If it doesn't kill you, you end up horribly sick. Exotic, perhaps, but not nice or sexy at all.

With tetrodotoxin, by contrast, if you die, you'll do so within about six hours, and be fully conscious until the end. But if you make it through the first six hours, you'll be OK. You get to face the possibility of death over a short period, and then afterwards feel the rush of survival, of having passed through the gate, during which you have wild crazy sex. No, I've never tried this.

So making a "polonium roll" and serving it to your friends is the fun part (where you get to play the sexy poisoner), while eating it is not so much.
