Big appetite? And, not sure where this was ordered, but here (in Texas at last) BIG wallet $$. And when did Jalapenos become part of a sushi dish? My favorite vegetable.

They make sushi with all sorts of things now.

This was not too bad in price at all. Very, very good.

Huh! used to go to Edogin in Tokyo and never saw anything but fish/rice/nori and wasabi and ginger on the side. A stretch, but it was a pure sushi experience. I really don't 'trust' the freshness of the fish here in the states, so I tend to not eat much other than the tuna styles. Have to admit, those photos do make me crave something other than the supermarket California rolls offerings.

These is the pretty standard "American" sushi you will find in ever major US city today.

Here in Redding (true NorCal), we have several Sushi houses and one Chinese restaurant that offer "fushion" sushi.

While I don't like sushi, it is interesting to see the variety they have.

Looks amazing. I'm on my way over.

Ralph Haus · Sep 21, 2022

Certainly looks inviting. What's it called on the menu? Stonehenge Delight?

Just looked closer. Is the bacon from a special kind of hog or is it a 'parts-is-parts' bacon?

I made chicken nachos and black beans tonight. Nachos had chicken, cheese, minced cilantro, fresh garlic, jalapeños, green onions, and tomatoes topping 'em. Beans had jalapeños, garlic, and tomatoes cut up into 'em, warmed on a simmer/low heat for an hour or so to meld the flavors.

My mouth still has that beautiful slow-burn from the peppers, 45 minutes after eating.
