  No. That photo misses the whole point. The article is talking about these, which are common in Australia. You normally buy 3-4 of them and that’s a quick lunch on the go.

      this entire thing just feels like settlers being butthurt that they a) have none of the history/tradition of the old world and b) unlike america, don’t even have any recently found pop culture relevance to offset the former

      There’s plenty of Aboriginal and even some trivial white Australian culture, claiming a certain shape of sushi is not that (not even Americans do this, and the few that do “Detroit pizza” are rightfully made fun of and bullied)

      Australian sushi is a thick hand roll made from half a standard sheet of nori. Its shape is distinct from Japanese temaki hand rolls, which are often cone-shaped, as well as from futomaki thick rolls, which are similar in shape but usually served sliced.

      so it’s literally just unsliced sushi lol. It’s not even like some characteristic ingredient, like with California Rolls and Philadelphia rolls using avocado/cream cheese (which are def not Japanese)

      And that’s literally what we call it (or “hand rolls”). Until this article, I’ve never seen the term “Australian Sushi”. I can see how you’d market it that way in New York though, to make them novel/stand out.

      The guy writing the article is moderately famous in Australia as a Japanese-Australian TV personality.

      Its also very clearly Japanese immigrants modifying their home dishes with local ingredients. Its Japanese-Australian food, not Australian food.

      Alas we failed to import sufficient numbers of slaves to steal culture off

      I think it’s 2.50/half roll (they all say h/roll) but that’s still pretty rad, at least in USD not sure about AUD
