thursday 1 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 the California roll is an abonmination of sushi. The advocado in place of salmon. Quite offensive no? Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 that actually might work for you. No fish in the california roll. Just get them to leave off the fake crab roe too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 nah, I take it its surrounded by nori....cos nori is on the bad list as well Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 A Californian Roll is a nori roll made with a centre of crab stick (you know that fake crab meat/seafood 'highlighter' formed into a stick shape) and avocado strip. Not a bad introduction to 'sushi' for the western palate.... but I never saw any in Japan! Another one that I haven't seen in Japan is the chicken teriyaki nori roll - I think those two are the most popular here. To be fair many of the sushi trains/Japanese resturants/sushi bars here are starting to also carry more authentic options as well. Eel, high grade fresh raw fish (salmon/tuna)etc. But the big sellers will always be the mushed up canned tuna and mayo nori rolls, chicken teriyaki nori rolls and californian rolls, as well as chicken kara-age....they are just closer in flavor to what a western palate expects.

thursday 1 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Sad. A really good one would be the fish n chips sushi. Fried cod and a chip on sushi rice. Dipped in salt n vinegar dressing of course. Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The egg one is traditionally eaten at the very end, if there is such thing as sushi eating protocol. but, hey, my relative owns a building with 2 floors of sushi service in Okayama so I should know. Californian roll have been imported back to Japan and has been part of the menu since the early 80's. West coast USA had some really good sushi places then and the price was value compared to Japan. It was always a risk (hidden surprise) to get the bill from sushi place you never been, and thank god when the running sushi train came out in japan , the pricing is so clear without the big drop in quality .

thursday 1 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Jynxx, there is sushi eating protocol, and being Japanese, you should know it :facepalm: Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Actually, there isn't. Created by nobs. you can put soy on Shari (rice) or neta (flesh) you can use your hand or chopstick, you can order whatever you like in any order, It is a custom not order sake with sushi, but this comes from the old days while sushi making is labour intensive so they didn't want to bother serving sake, and people were pretty drunk anyways. Agari (tea) is made of powdered low quality tea which required hotter water to extract and hence the thicker ceramic cup. Also the less flavoursome tea was thought to bring out the sushi taste. In the sushi world, they have different words to describe things. That's about it. But the technique that goes behind the craft, is not something you can learn in a few months.
