Yes there is a walmart, but only one actual grocery store, and it now stock frozen sushi.

Update: I shared this picture with my local gaming group, one of them went and picked up a tray.

He tossed it into the fridge and tried it this morning.

I had the first piece. It is supposed to be "Refrigerated Only" by the packaging, but honestly, with a fridge thaw, it tastes just fine. I've had plenty worse than that.

If I was not vegetarian I would give it a try. The closest place to get sushi to us is an hour drive.

I'm going to have to gate keep here.

California Rolls are not sushi.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 13 points 2 months ago

You can find it on sushi restaurant menus here in Japan, so that seems a rather pointless thing to gatekeep.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -5 points 2 months ago

You can buy blue colored Ramon in japan. You can get sushi with spam. What's your point? Just because you can buy it in a store doesn't mean much.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

What’s your thought on salmon sushi? It’s a pretty recent dish, introduced by Norwegian salmon farmers to Japanese sushi chefs in the 80’s. Clearly not traditional in the historic sense.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 months ago

Never tried it. No current opinion here.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Is this really the hill you want to die on? How do you think dishes are invented? People made them, others like it. Enough to get a name and reputation.

If you're still going to claim a California roll isn't sushi, when nearly all of civilization agrees it is, you're dumb.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 months ago

Ok, so you think my opinion is dumb. Well, i think yours is dumb. See how that works? Just because I'm disagreed with does not make my opinion anyones but mine. Clearly not all of civilization either considering at least one other person gave me even a single upvote. Only sith deal in absolutes.

No, I said you are dumb if this is the way you think.

Didn't say "all" either. Reading isn't your thing.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Bro are you ok? You literally said "all" in your sentence. Just because you added the "nearly" in front doesn't mean you didn't say it. Damn, it's right there yo.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

Yes technically it's a maki roll, and sushi is thing over rice, but everyone calls maki rolls sushi these days.

[-] eerongal@ttrpg.network 11 points 2 months ago

"thing over rice" is nigiri. Nigiri, sashimi, and Maki rolls are all types of sushi.

[-] CannedYeet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Actually sushi has to have rice by definition so sashimi isn't sushi.

[-] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 months ago

yep, you are correct; i always accidentally lump it in together because of how related/similar they are, my bad.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 2 months ago

Guess i was more leaning towards the fact is avocado and fake crab. Like California roll is to sushi what the crunch wrap is to burrito.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Kani and avocado are both widely used in Japan. How are they not legitimate ingredients to you? Kani was literally invented in Japan

I did say i was gate keeping here, right? Or did i miss my first post?

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

When you're gatekeeping, it's fair for people to open it, yeah? Else, where's the fun?

[-] protist@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Where you placed the gate makes no sense so I was asking you to expound

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Oh, so you're gate keeping my gate keeping?

[-] protist@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Usually when someone gatekeeps, they have a rationale. Assuming there was thought behind this was my mistake.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 2 months ago

Why are you arguing with logic against an opinion? Seems kinda misguided.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Are you gaslighting us right now?

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 2 months ago

No. That would imply i don't actually dislike California rolls. I absolutely do not respect them. Not my sushi.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
