1. What the flip?! I need that.

2. Does it use vinegared rice? Then yes

3. Is that spam?

4. Depends on how the rice is made I think. Definitely crosses the line of Musubi and sushi

5. I love musubi. Place near me does sushi rice, seaweed wrapper, fried spam, and deepfried shrimp with a yumyum sauce. I dont think its sushi but its damn good.

6. Depends on the rice.

7. Sandwich
   Sanshi
   Suwich
   Sandshi
   Sushi Submarine
   ??????

8. This is more like an onigiri than sushi.

9. I’ll allow it.

10. I need to eat it to confirm.

11. i don’t care but i wanna eat it!!

12. It’s delicious, but no, it’s a musubi

13. I don’t know what that is but I want to insert it in my rat hole

14. I wanna devour these.

15. Spamasushi

16. 50/50 musubi/sushi.

    100% 🤙

17. No, I believe that’s what you would call a sandwich. 

18. I actually feel pangs of jealousy.

    Good job.

19. If it includes seaweed wrap and rice and those ingredients, heck ya!

20. TECHNICALLY musubi is considered [closer to onigiri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onigiri) than sushi. However, much like how a tomato is technically a fruit but in culinary circles it’s a vegetable, it depends on what you’re doing with it. Personally, the larger ones like spam musubi and this one I wouldn’t classify as traditional sushi, despite your using sushi rice – becuase in a similar vein, if poké uses sushi rice it’s still not quite sushi, even chirashi, because it’s its own dish.

    Ultimately it comes down to semantics and preference. If you want to call it musubi sushi, you’re allowed to – the sushi police won’t knock down your door. With the way food varieties are expanding and changing as the world becomes one giant melting pot the lines between dishes and cultures become very blurred and a “right answer” is harder to find.

21. Musubi

22. No but some some “positive people” will pop out and say otherwise 🤷‍♂️

23. yep. The only requirement for sushi is rice. If tomago on rice is sushi then this is sushi too.

24. SPAM MUSUBI

25. Get in my belly!

26. Why not?

27. Yes of course, it looks wonderful. Enjoy!

28. I want this and to answer your question yes! Unagi is so delicious too mmmmmmmmmm

29. I’d eat it, but the Japanese take on sushi tends to be very minimalist

30. Musubis are great, but aren’t sushi.

    They’re big in Hawaii. You can get them at the corner store, but they have fancy ones at cafes.

31. i mean i might try a bite. but its not my kind of sushi. prefer only like 3 flavors max.

    that being said, hell of a lot better than some of the train wreaks i see her leaking mayo sauces everywhere.

    and yes, i am a sushi snob, so i’ve got that going for me.

32. Mouth. Watering.

33. Fuck yeah, it is!

34. i consider musubi to be different from sushi, but good food is good food 😁

35. This makes me think what a Japanese person would think if I served them a Las Vegas Roll

36. It’s musubi

37. No it’s musubi.

38. No it’s musubi
