Let's roll up!

Have you tried making any roll sushi? How did you do that? This is called "Makisu," a tool to make rolls. Bamboo sticks are tied with threads. This looks like a nice sunblind at your window, doesn't it? However, this is a bit too small to meet the purpose. So, we use this only for make rolls. I don't know how to call this in English, so please let me know if you know how to say this in English. You put a seaweed sheet (nori) on Makisu, put rice on the seeweed, and put some pickles. Roll it up, and you can make roll sushi. Cut it with a sharp knife. The surface of the cut will be very fancy. That is an interesting point of roll sushi. Look is very important for food as well as its tast. I got an idea! You can also roll up bread. I will try it for tomorrow's breakfast. Do you have any other idea of what you can roll other than that???

That's an original idea, to use a makisu for other things than only sushi. I know some pastry that is rolled. A pastry called 'tree trunk' is rolled. I believe it has its origin in Austria. It is made of a thin layer of cake spreaded with jelly and cream and is rolled (so it looks like a trunk of a tree).
Looking forward to more of your stories. I am a graduate from the California sushi academy and also have a blog dedicated to sushi but it is in Dutch though.
