Sushi

There seems to be something called the Phoenix Roll already. There's already an Arizona Roll. The sushi I want to try hasn't a name, yet, but it has a taste.

In the imagination of my head and my tastebuds, I see a roll of rice wrapped around chicken, avocado, and something either subtly or brilliantly spicy. Perhaps jalapeño. Perhaps a red pepper of some significant spice. But something definitely hot.

There should be varieties detailing the crossover that happens when you take the Japanese presentation and have it collide with that staple of the little Mexican restaurant, the burrito. Rice and chicken with all sorts of interesting variations on the side flavor. What does pico de gallo taste like with sushi dressing? Does it overwhelm? Red bean paste or refried beans? Is it really that much different having a toasted seaweed burrito?

"Toasted seaweed" for some reason just doesn't sound appetizing. A sushi roll with chicken sounds nifty though.

This is just a guess..........have a taste for sushi?

It's really bizarre how some of the most dreadful-sounding stuff can be so tasty. The nori I got this time when hcolleen and I were out at Lee Lee's is perforated where the cut lines should go. I wonder how that will work out, when I ever get around to making the sushi.

I picked up some sushi from Trader Joe's, and that inspired me.
