Sushi[edit | edit source]

Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish that consists of vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, various meats, and vegetables. In the case of rolled sushi, known as Makizushi, the ingredients are placed on a sheet of seaweed, rolled into a cylindrical shape using a bamboo mat, and then cut into smaller pieces.

Burrito[edit | edit source]

A burrito is a dish in Mexican cuisine that consists of a large wheat tortilla filled with various ingredients, most commonly rice, beans, and meat. The tortilla is then folded in a specific way to fully enclose the ingredients, creating a cylindrical shape that can be easily eaten with the hands.

Spring roll[edit | edit source]

Spring rolls are a large variety of rolled appetizers, often served in the cuisines of East Asia and Southeast Asia. The name is a literal translation of the Chinese chūn juǎn (春卷 'spring roll').
