Dessert sushi

Although AM beat me to the munch by 26 hours, that won't stop me detailing the newest sugar rush available at Sushi Train. Imagine typical nigiri, except replace the mound of steamed rice with an agglutination of sticky rice bubbles and the smear of wasabi with jam, drape it with a "fillet" of pink marshmallow, then serve with a container of chocolate sauce for dipping/drizzling. Mixed in the mouth, the nearest comparison is a Chocolate Crackle with a hint of strawberry - but only in the vague sense that a cheese'n'tomato toastie is reminiscent of a gourmet pizza.


Listening: "Community Music" (2000) by Asian Dub Foundation. When this UK crew performed their highly politicised hybrid electronica at the now-defunct Hemispheres festival, I was directly in front of the stage, beer in one hand, shared spliff in the other, bouncing on the spot. For a brief moment, I almost felt cool.
