you didn’t fit into the sushi roll shape and they put a bunch of pressure on you and now you’re a mess of loose grains and torn seaweed.
but that’s okay!
in the place you’re from you could be another shape just as easily: chirashi-don, or onigiri, or neko manma. you would be just as delicious piled in a bowl, but in America the shape that sells the best is the elaborate and decorative and slinky shape of a sushi roll.
but you can be exactly as good when you’re onigiri.
