Scared by Sainsbury's

ventaWell. Today, instead of bringing something in from home for lunch, I thought I'd treat myself. I have (or had) Sainsbury's salmon sushi, and fresh fruit salad.
The sushi was really nice, actually, although their amazing expanding chopsticks puzzled me momentarily. And I'm not convinced that they're a good use of such solid plastics, since they're disposable - the plain wooden kind seem like a better bet.
But the fruit salad... I scooped it into its box at the salad bar this morning without thinking. 5 hours later (and who knows how many after it was prepared), the apple slices are still sparkly pale green. Not a hint of brownness anywhere. And they don't taste like they've been tossed in lemon juice. What on earth do they do to them...?
Scared now.

Edamame, on Holywell Street. Very good, but with the most unpredictable and bizarre opening times in the world.
Gashi Gashi, on Cowley Road. I like it, but it's a little on the pricey side. Your friendly local Japanese restaurant expert,
Red Star Noodle Bar, on Cowley Rd. Cheap and cheerful, does somethings (Gyoza, Yaki Soba) very well, other things (Ramen) less well.
