For many people their experience with sushi has been just consuming it, not actually creating it. So when people learned about sushi and how to make it - use the sticky rice, add rice vinegar, let cool, spread on top of the nori, add fillings, roll - they found out it was a lot easier (and cheaper) than they had thought it would be. People brought many types of fillings that I haven't even tried before. We had cucumber, avocado, smoked salmon, imitation crab, bacon, brie, mexican cheese, carrots, jalapenos. Each person had a chance to sit in the "sushi seat" and make a roll with whatever ingredients they liked. The end results were a variety of different yet tasty kicks in our mouths. Yes, the bacon was pretty good and a nice alternative to the fish. Asparagus is another ingredient that I usually use more of but it just slipped my mind this time.
Some of us also got experimental with creative rolls, some of which we named: Firecracker Night, Dragon Scale, Rabbit Roll, and Squirrel Chaser.
I also made a huge batch of Japanese chicken curry in case the sushi didn't fill us up. Originally the sushi would have been the appetizer, but I got carried away and made multiple rolls which just about filled everyone up. I hope people will continue to experiment with sushi and I hope to come up with a roll I can sell, or finally go along with my "Wrap and Roll" idea I had way back in college. In any case, this was a pretty successful event! :)
