DFWfag here, never seen that before.

That sounds absolutely disgusting.

I only had sushi once in a cheap buffet. The rice tasted pretty good, it was moist and the fish on top falls off easily. I took off the fish and ate the rice with the meat

>thinks that whatever this shitroll is isn't just local to one joint
Now, the local place I go has this great one that's just tuna and green apple. So fucking good. I also like the pleb-tier roll with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and [usually] mild jalepeno, served warm.

Yeah spicy sushi is only spicy to mask the lower quality fish. So you're eatting crappy fish if you eat spicy sushi.

I like kimbap better than sushi, not much difference besides the filling. I usually make it with fried egg, pickled daikon, spam, cucumber, carrots or whatever else I can fit in there.
For sushi I really like oregon rolls (avocado, fresh salmon, cucumber) and seattle rolls (cumber, cream cheese, smoked salmon)

>>6671255
Mayo sounds like shit but eel sauce is my favorite.

norcal has this thing everywhere called the lion king roll and its pretty "dank"

I make my own sushi and still prefer spicy sushi

They had this at a sushi bar in Texas I go to regularly. I thought it was weird to have a single movie themed roll out of a ton of traditional rolls but I guess its a popular recipe

I have a ceramic and your usual cooking knife. How in the living hell do I cut my sushi so the rice doesn't stick on it? Is it the rice though? I feel like I put too much water or some shit. HELP

>>6671255
>slightly burnt
no thanks.

Euuugh

Fucking Americanised foreign cuisines are vile. Invariably add too much, usually cream or cheese and ruin the subtlety of the original dish.

This is true for Italian, Mexican & Sushi at least.

>>6677122
I agree but any sushi I've gotten was made by some asian, from Burmese to Japanese.

>Fucking Americanised foreign cuisines are vile

I'm still baffled how Murica does carbonara.

>>6677102
dunk your knife in water before cutting

>>6677102
wipe with oil

>Texas
>sushi

Pick one.
But seriously, being a displaced Texan myself, I love my home state with a passion, but the sushi there is a joke. I had some friends take me out for sushi a couple of times the last time I visited, and I had to fake my enthusiasm through those meals because the sushi was fucking awful compared to here. And conversely, the friends who've come to visit me here (in NorCal) and have gone out for sushi with me always say they've been ruined and can't eat the sushi back home anymore because now they know what good sushi is supposed to be like. Just sayin'.....
Also, that roll you're describing sounds fucking disgusting.

>>6675559
Ugh, I hate lion king rolls. Just what I didn't want.....hot fish covered in too much gloop. That roll is for people who don't really like sushi but want to fit in.

What are some good vegetarian fillings/toppings?

I'd like to make Sushi with some friends who mostly avoid eating meat, but my imagination is limited (egg, carrot, cucumber, peppers, pickled daikon, avocado and... uhh...) when you take away all the fish.

>unborn chickens
>vegetarian

lmao

also vege sushi is shit.

Where have you been to eat sushi in Texas? Literally every major city has very good sushi. And nearly all of them have Tsukiji Market fish.

There are also many levels of sushi in a big city. Are you referring to the modern/contemporary top tier sushi places? The mom n pop ones? Or the ones owned by Chinese people?

You must have a seriously refined palette with years of sushi tasting to differentiate the best between American cities.

>gimmicky sushi roll with cream cheese
>Hispanic customers

you need to find a better sushi place

>>6678292
>the ones owned by Chinese people
>not even having the shittiest Korean owned sushi places

Well that's because sushi is for faggots and there is no shortage of them in norcal.

>>6678303

Man those are pure terror and probably why I forgot about them. No telling what species of fish you'll get. They are mind boggling cheap.

>>6678320
Confirmed for never having been to NorCal.

I hate to break this to you, but every city in Texas has a gay district, just like NorCal. I bet you think no one here drives trucks or is Republican, either. Stop learning about other state's culture from shitty tv shows.

>>6678354
>Live in NorCal
>small town about an hour away from sac
>Never heard anything about gay districts

Is it a san fran thing?

Made sushi a couple times (pic related)
But it's waaay too much work. There are japanese buffet places around here that make good sushi and are quite cheap, no reason to make it at home other than pride.

>>6680097
What the fuck kind of sushi is that supposed to be? It looks like mashed potatoes around sour cream wrapped in nori.

>>6680068
I live about 26 miles north of Sac. SF has the Castro whichbis predominately gay, and Sac has Lavender Hill.

>made 4 sushi rolls
>ate half a roll
>brother's friends come out of nowhere and finish the rest of my sushi along with my soy sauce
>tell brother "you ate all of my sushi!"
>"yup"

two hours of work to the trash
