Sushi is a great dish.  There's such a wide variety of it.  It's commonly thought of as raw fish, but I've had cooked sushi and vegetarian sushi, too.
You know, if there were any food item that I would expect its vegetarian version to still be just as good, it would definitely be sushi.
With flavors like pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi, you're right!
So what's going on with California rolls that sushi lovers like to say that it's not "real sushi?"
Unfortunately, I've never had a California roll, so I'm not sure.  What are they?
Well your standard rice and seaweed wrap, but inside there's avocado, crab meat, and cucumber. Is it that it's too basic or something?
I think that a California roll is referred to as a "makizushi" sushi roll, and they're typically made inside-out.
Maybe it's the inside-out part that makes sushi fanatics get all mean about it, lol.
