Random Question of the day

You are in a sushi restaurant. The menu features a maki that they refer to as a "Rick Roll."

What is on this roll?

[livejournal.com profile] blergeatkitty and I have come to the consensus that it should be whitefish (natch), tuna, and cucumber on the inside, with orange (shad?) roe and crunchies on top. However, I'd like to open this up to the rest of the class as well.

What's on your Rick Roll?

I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm seized by the idea that the Rick Roll should involve prawns, avocado, and mayonnaise, and it should be held together with soy paper instead of seaweed.

Interesting. As I am allergic to both avocado and prawns, I wouldn't have gone in that direction, but I see the inspiration.

And I've never had sushi with soy paper! That sounds delicious.

Oh no! I'd be so annoyed if I couldn't eat avocado.

The soy paper is really good. It has a very light, delicate flavor, and it doesn't interfere with the fish at all.

I'll be sure to pass this around at the sushi restaurant tonight, though I expect I'll have to explain to more than one person what a Rick-Roll actually is. We don't get a lot of it around these parts.

It breaks my heart to see you so deprived.

It must be an inside-out roll as Rick Astley is white yet sounds like he may be black.

LOL...

Those are the ones with the rice on the outside? Or the seaweed?

Inside out, hon. That's rice on the outside (like your icon). ;)

Funny, I thought I was the only one who thought Rick Astley sounded like a big black dude.

(I was going to make Ricky Martin or Rick Springfield jokes, but I see I'm too little, too late)

Gutter answer: Roll contains that hot UPS guy named Rick. (hmmm... Rick Roll...)

I'm a lame sushi gal. Spicy tuna, salmon, and some cucumber wrapped in seaweed and rice, and sprinkled with sesame seeds...


Dernit... Now I'm hungry.

um...
