Dining@Large: Comment of the Week - Baltimore restaurants: The dish on the restaurant scene, memorable meals, dining trends and more

I thought the following comment was remarkably level-headed and on topic: When can your baby start eating sushi? It seemed to start people talking about the subject in an interesting way instead of complaining that the post belonged on the mommy blog.

When do babies in Japan start eating sushi? Honestly (and I'm a mom), it used to be "safe" to give your baby whatever you felt like he could handle. I'll bet a bunch of you ate food before 6 months, peanut butter and strawberries before 1 year, cow's milk before 1 year, honey, and even verboten stuff like cereal mixed with formula from a bottle with a great big hole in the nipple. And you lived to tell about it. My kid did. And he ate sushi when he was about 2, and 6 years later he's still eating it.

I also want to give a shout out to RayRay's comment on endangered seafood. The fact that no one went nuts (in a bad way) over it shows that even when we're discussing something pretty serious, there's always room for a little humor:

Eat stuff. 

When it's gone, eat other stuff.
