Cookbook talk:Sushi

untitled comment
It should be made clearer which parts of this article are about sushi in Japan, and which are about sushi outside Japan. Although I'm sure the California, Philadelphia, Kamikaze, etc. rolls have made it back to Japan as novelties, these are really only "common" in North America, as you might guess from their names.... Then again, maybe the wikibooks cookbook is supposed to be an American cookbook?

It's also pretty surprising to see that nigiri sushi is barely mentioned, that temaki and oshi sushi aren't mentioned at all, that sashimi is treated as a kind of nigiri sushi (!!!), and that wasabi and pickled ginger aren't mentioned at all.

 * this is a cookbook, not the wikipedia article on sushi. I would love if someone contributed another recipe! Paolorausch 2 Mar 2005


 * It would also be nice for a little more history on sushi, instead of a tiny "sushi originated like this" then nothing else, including no talk of Edo-Mae sushi, which is very much reveared in Japan and influenced many of the modern styles of sushi, also sashimi should be a seperate section...its not a type of sushi! Before I leave, from what i understand Cailfornia rolls have taken in Japan, though only in the smaller less traditional places.

the sushi page needs to be split
The sushi page is growing way too big. How should it be split? I think just leave a menu here, maybe with a table containing close-up pictures of the various major classes of sushi. See the Cookbook:Melon page for a layout idea. AlbertCahalan 23:14, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'd have seperate pages for the rice and each type of Sushi, all linked from here. David Johnson 16:21, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

How does that work?
I hope the adjustments i made work for you all. I wasn't able to find any good pictures (such as are on the melon page) that meet the copyright guidelines, but I set up the table so the pictures can be put in when appropriate ones can be found.

Merge Request
Please take what you think is worthwhile, then add a   tag in The Sushi Guide when you are through. Thanks. --Rob Horning 14:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

wtf?
If they want to just talk about sushi, but no recipes or anything about making it then put it on wikipedia. I'm amazed wikibooks kept it this long even if it doesn't have anything useful.
