Hehe. I'm sure it doesn't compete with a grilled salmon onigiri.

Nice article. Here's another one about onigiri:

Makiko Itoh, the author, has two websites focusing on all aspects of Japanese food (and more):

http://www.justhungry.com/

http://justbento.com/


The first one in particular is packed with an incredible amount of information. Both sites are well written and well organized.

Re: riceballs-- As a kid growing up in Hawaii, we called riceballs "musubi" (or "omusubi" which was the term used by older people); it was only after moving to the mainland that I first heard "onigiri" used.

I'd take that over a hot dog.

A mystery meat that is as much fun to make as it is to eat. :mrgreen:

Hehe. Speaking of hot dogs, the estimated consumption of hot dogs in the summer time is 7 billion.

Mystery meat indeed.

And even after finding out exactly what went into a sabrett dog when I was a kid. (Snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails) (well actually worse than that), I still think they taste great with a little mustard sauerkraut, and grilled onions.
I still have them once in awhile on a trip in NYC. :beaten:

I miss the days of eating the 2 dogs & a drink Recession Special at Gray's Papaya on 6th Ave in the West Village.
