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.

Oh no.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago

If you've had this before and know what to expect then by all means, enjoy away. But if you're expecting this to be anything like more traditional sushi you will be sorely disappointed.

Fully Cooked! Nice

[-] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Eew.

[-] Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Why Frozen instead of refrigerated?

[-] nocturne@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

Extended shelf life maybe?

[-] davad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

To make it gross?

[-] lol_idk@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

I thought this was dull men at first

[-] nocturne@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

After I posted here, I realized that would have been a better choice.

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

I'm going to have to gate keep here.

California Rolls are not sushi.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 13 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

Never tried it. No current opinion here.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month 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 1 month 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.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] CannedYeet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] protist@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago

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

[-] protist@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Are you gaslighting us right now?

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 1 month 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?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
