Aussies shocked after learning little-known fact about sushi

When you're out and about and feeling peckish, heading to your local takeaway sushi joint is often a safe bet. Whether you're in a shopping centre or grabbing lunch on your office break, you know you'll find a fresh, satisfying sushi roll, ready to eat on the go. It's a great option for busy lifestyles, thanks to the fact you can enjoy it with just one hand and don't need any utensils to eat it. But while Aussies are used to this convenient, single roll sushi, a viral video has revealed that not everyone around the world eats it the same way. Dietitian En Min Saw recently took to TikTok to share her discovery: the sushi we know and love is so unique, it's even called 'Australian sushi' in other countries. 'How did I forget this wasn't normal?' Ms Saw said in the clip, which has now racked up over three million views. 'Everyone eats it like a burrito'. She then shared a screenshot of a Google search for 'Australian sushi', and sure enough, those iconic hand rolls appeared. Her video was flooded with comments from confused viewers who had no idea this convenient snack wasn't the norm elsewhere. 'I thought this was normal – this is just sushi,' said one commenter. 'I've lived in Australia my whole life, and I thought this was normal sushi,' said another. 'As an Australian, how is it meant to look?' asked someone else. 'I'm from Asia and I just moved to Australia. I was so confused when I first saw that, but it's very convenient and perfect if you need a grab-and-go meal,' added another viewer. A different user admitted they had to search 'normal sushi' to find out what it looks like elsewhere. In Japan, the birthplace of sushi, you'll find a wide variety of sushi, from nigiri – bite-sized portions of rice and fresh sashimi – to maki, which are rolled and sliced into neat rounds (we can get that style here too). In the US, the California roll is a staple, which includes avocado, cucumber, and crab, turned inside out with rice on the outside, again cut into pieces. Korea offers kimbap, which is a similar roll but with rice seasoned with sesame oil instead of vinegar, often filled with vegetables and meat. Meanwhile, Mexico's sushirrito is a giant, burrito-sized roll, and Brazil is famous for its temaki, or cone-shaped sushi.

Meghan struggles to pull off five year makeover

Imagine the possibilities if the US Food and Drug Administration were not such spoilsports. Then Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex would be able to call what she sells 'jam' rather than a 'spread'. Imagine the headlines options: 'in a jam' or 'jam-packed' or 'jammin''. Boo. But no matter what you call the fruity $13.90 (USD$9) jars of the sweet stuff from by the duchess' As Ever label, never in history has not-jam (or even jam) made this much news. This week's update from the sugary, breakfast frontlines: Chaos. Or at least some topsy-turvy confusion and mixed messages about what is going on with the duchess' lifestyle company. It's now been over 64 DAYS since Meghan's first As Ever products went on sale with them selling out within 45 minutes, which is less time than it takes Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex to have a morose but therapeutic session with the power hose out the back. (The speed with which the shelves were left empty was a brilliant PR-able detail but one that failed to quite specify how big the run was. Or as the Telegraph put the first batch's selling out so fast, 'a common marketing ploy'.) In the two months since then, eager jam heads and Sussex-stans have been forced to wait patiently for As Ever products to be restocked, resulting in oh so very many slices of toast left undolloped and unadorned by a bit of Meghan's Matha-ish handiwork. (It is by all accounts a very very good spread too.) However, that is about to change at some point with something to be made available to buy at some point in the near future. Still unclear? Don't worry, we all are. It can be hard to keep abreast of where things stand with the duchess' move into the lifestyle space because it's been a long, bumpy ride to even get to this point. First up came an interview with Meghan in business publication Fast Company last week, which reported that she wanted 'to take a step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be.' The same piece reported that there would be new As Ever products coming but only in 2026. It sounded like the duchess was singing from a similar songsheet when she released a bonus episode of her Confessions Of A Female Founder podcast with Tina Knowles, aka Beyoncé's mum, in which she talked about 'pausing' the brand. She explained that the 'scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people', but that 'I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.' Therefore, she said of her thinking: 'I'm looking at it saying 'just pause' … Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need.' Only for then, hope you're keeping up here, hours later, the As Ever Instagram account to announce that 'favourite' items would be restocked this month 'plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you … get excited!' Quoi? If you are frowning at the screen trying to make sense of all of this, know you are not alone. Nothing about As Ever has been simple. Err … ever. As far as births go, the lifestyle brand's has been a long and painful one without an epidural. At some point in 2023 speculation started hub-bubbling away in the press that the duchess was cooking up some sort of clever clogs commercial project, a concept boosted when she and Harry hired a supposed top Hollywood deal-maker who works at 'intersection of celebrity and venture investing' Fast forward to March 2024 when the duchess released a painfully twee Instagram video announcing her new company American Riviera Orchard (ARO) followed by a splashy celebrity jam drop that saw stars briefly pretend to cosplay eating carbohydrates for the sake of bucking up her brand. Then came months that saw ARO face regular, embarrassing headlines as attempts to trademark the name failed like floppy souffles and ARO soon disappeared into the business Bermuda Triangle. (Last year the Daily Mail columnist Richard Eden, who is an ardently anti Sussex, claimed that the duchess had jumped the gun on launching ARO to prevent him getting the scoop.) February finally saw ARO put out of its misery, when Harry manned the iPhone to film his wife oddly squatting In a garden bed to swap ARO with As Ever, a name which sounded like the title of a Hallmark Cinderella remake set in a perfect Vermont town and involving a lovelorn baker. Farewell ARO, we hardly knew ye. Also setting As Ever apart – Netflix had gotten involved putting up money and sending their 'consumer packaged goods team' to work closely with the duchess' team. On March 4 her Netflix series With Love Meghan finally dropped, with her achieving the previously impossible feat of cooking in white linen trousers and not ending up splattered in a simmering tomato sauce. Kudos. Yet still, eager punters had to wait for Meghan's products to finally hit online shelves – only for them to sell out in under an hour and for the Duchess of Sussex later to have to apologise for accidentally overselling $43 jars of honey. Confusingly still, the duchess revealed during this week's Confessions episode that even to get to this point she and her team had 'planned for a year'. In short, in 15 months we've had more ups and downs and lawyers and jam data and Kris Jenners than even Leo Tolstoy on a dramatic tear could have come up with. I'm sure there's some trite Instagramy saying about things that are worth doing are never easy or simple but ARO and As Ever's travails come after 30 months of career turmoil. Since the bang up success of Harry's Spare, the couple has parted ways with Spotify, had Polo and Heart of Invictus flop majorly, have failed to produce any scripted content for Netflix, faced ongoing reports about high staff turnover, had Harry's charities hit with controversies and PR crises, and had The Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair publish exposés offering deeply unflattering portraits of the duke and duchess as employers. But here's the thing – no matter Meghan's track record, the reviews of her raspberry not-jam, including from the UK papers, were positive. The consensus from food critics and reviewers: It's good stuff. Meghan has a winner on her hands even if her flower sprinkles might be the most useless culinary invention since someone came up with the idea of grape scissors. So can or will the Duchess of Sussex segue out of the mayhem era and transform herself into a fighting fit CEO atop a successful lifestyle empire? The breakfast tables of America need her even if the royal family didn't seem to. A comeuppance might never be so sweet.
