Sashimi Supplants PB&J

I was interviewed today on Wisconsin Public Radio, for a show called “Here on Earth.” A listener from a small Wisconsin town called in during the show to report that her five-year-old daughter turns up her nose at peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and demands instead raw tuna sashimi. Do we need to say anything else about sushi in America?

Several listeners also called in to report sightings of Spam sushi. Indeed, Spam sushi is reportedly a staple in Hawaii, where it’s called Spam musubi.
