This is what I was going to write: "No, probably not. But don't worry, I'll enough sushi for both of us. :)" BUT THEN, I discovered this: http://www.finestchef.com/rice-paper-sushi.htm Vegetarian Sushi shall be yours!!! Actually, I have heard of people putting all kinds of crazy crap in their homemade sushi - Sweet and Sour Chicken, Spicy Pulled Pork, anything goes, really, especially in rice paper. This is awfully inspiring. I may have to do a post on vegan sushi!

It IS a bummer…I also cannot have seaweed! In fact, I’m not allowed to go in the ocean! I think my allergist is being extra cautious, but I don’t think it’s worth risking….

@Ann Its a bummer about your allergy and sushi. Is it just seafood, or do seaweeds also cause a reaction? If seaweed is safe for you to eat, you may want to try veggie sushi. I lunch on avocado hand rolls quite often. In fact, avocado sushi and japanese pickle sushi are some of my favorites!

Wow – that is SO beautiful! I love sushi, but – sadly – I am allergic to all seafood. However, that doesn’t keep me from admiring the art – and it IS an art form! What a GREAT post and what patience it takes to make it!

All hail smoked eel. One of the earliest weird foods I ever ate, and still one of my favorites. Come to think of it, I owe a lot to that eel, whoever he was.

Yummy!!!
This is inspiring. It has been too long since I made sushi at home. Sometimes I’ll pick up an entire smoked eel from the frozen section of that Asian grocery on Airport at Lamar. It’s the bomb, yo.
