| Apr 30 at 17:33 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @Mermaker All that roll needs to be crammed up the backside of a turducken. | |
| Apr 30 at 17:22 | comment | added | Mermaker | @Nosajimiki Also, sushi terminology is difficult. On Brazil, Gunkan is a popular name for Jow sushi, where actual Gunkan has nothing to do with it. We also have the strange low-carb variant of sushis were there isn't no rice at all - is fish, rolled up with more fish instead of rice, topped with fish. It's like an edible fish frankenstein. And it is friggen delicious. | |
| Apr 30 at 17:11 | comment | added | Mermaker | @Nosajimiki that's why I said to use Sashimi instead of sushi =P. You're correct that sashimi isn't actually sushi, despite a bunch of people considering it so! | |
| Apr 30 at 17:10 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @Mermaker Lol, freaking America. Apparently Nigiri is often mislabeled as Sashimi at the restaurants around here. Thanks for the fact check... that said, I don't think true Sashimi would be considered Sushi at all because it is not made with rice. It is the rice, and not the things you put on/in it that makes it sushi. | |

| Apr 30 at 16:58 | comment | added | Mermaker | @MontyWild Sushi is a very generic food, like "sandwhich". It isn't because cheese is a popular sandwhich ingredient that all sandwhiches have cheese. Avocado on sushi is very common on certain parts of the world, but very uncommon in others. Japan rarely uses it. On Brazil it is usually an offered option, but not that popular. | |
| Apr 30 at 16:56 | comment | added | Mermaker | @JBH Temaki is specifically the cone-form of sushi. If I'm not mistaken, the term for the generic "rolled with rice" forms of sushi is "makizushi". | |
| Apr 30 at 16:46 | comment | added | Mermaker | @Nosajimiki As far as I'm aware, sashimi is just slices of fish, without any rice. You may be thinking about nigiri? | |
| Apr 30 at 16:05 | comment | added | JBH | Having eaten sushi in Japan, I can report that I've never once seen avocado in Japanese sushi. Full disclaimer, though: I'm much more a fan of Nigiri Sushi (raw fish over rice) than I am Temaki Sushi (rice rolls). | |
| Apr 30 at 15:57 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | If you try to feed the seal sashimi, it will probably just eat the fish off the top. Because American sushi has the meat on the inside, it's more likely to eat it whole. | |
| Apr 30 at 15:48 | comment | added | Mermaker | With this in mind, it would be possible to replace the sushi for sashimi when feeding seals, and still keep the "kid feeding seals with chopsticks" imagery. | |
| Apr 30 at 15:46 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | Originally, Japanese sushi was just rice and and fish, and later included seaweed. Most of the other stuff you find in sushi tends to be American additions. That said, American sushi can now be found in most Japanese sushi restaurants and vice-versa; so, it's a lot more important to consider both no matter where your setting is since it's not 1970 any more. | |
| Apr 30 at 15:32 | comment | added | Monty Wild♦ | @L.Dutch Every recipe I've found for sushi so far (3 recipes) have all included avocado. However, sushi without avocado is possible, but I've already stated the likely effect of rice... if the seals would even be interested. | |
| Apr 30 at 15:10 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | I am not sure the Japanese version of sushi contains avocado. Like the Italian pizza doesn't contain pineapple. | |
