Ghetto Fabulous, Asian Style Nijiya Market, Sunnyvale, CA.
SPAM ONIGIRI!!!! You truly can't get anymore hardcore Japanese American than that. SPAM has this special place in the heart of Asian Americans, specially those from Hawaii; it's almost mythic. For those of you unfamiliar with the wonders of Onigiri, it's just a rice ball and it's not sushi. Sushi has seasoned rice, this is just a plain rice ball with a little something, something in/on it. Good snack food...minus the SPAM.

Mood: excited
Music:Radiohead, "The National Anthem"

I'm so jealous of people with easy access to such a variety of foods. Not that I'm that good of a cook, but it'd be nice to at least have the opportunity to try to make some of those things.

I think I'd enjoy onigiri, mostly because I've always liked plain old steamed rice. I think maybe that'll be dinner tonight :d

Re:

St. Louis BBQ is good stuff, but Kansas City BBQ is legendary :D

So does that Spam onigiri actually have some kind of spam flavoring in it?

Re:

i would love to try *real* bbq! :P

that spam onigiri is a rice ball with a hunk of ham on top it. it's wrapped together with a piece of nori (the seaweed).

my mom used to make me bento (packed lunch) with onigiri stuffed with sliced teriyaki'd hot dog inside. that was my "special" field trip lunch. :)

I am! Well. Hopefully. ^_^ GWAI!!! CURSIVE! AAAH!

Yea, apparently Spam sushi was invented here in Milpitas. Or the guy that owns the Japanese/Hawaiian restaurant here, Bento Express, invented it. Something like that.
