Oh, I've tried. A Japanese cookbook I own has 3 different
'rice-vinegar' combinations. She chose the closest.

I've tasted a similarly subtle Vietnamese iceberg lettuce marinade. So
subtle,
you wonder if you actually 'tasted' something.

Mostly correct. Sushi rice is short grained and is considered a
'sticky rice'. Most sushi rice comes from CA, under brandnames like
Calrose or Nashiki. Native Japanese sushi rice is more expensive.

I've had both. The best sushi I ever tasted was my friend's wife's.
She sometimes wrapped her vegetarian sushi in nori (a flat seaweed).
I'd not waste $$$ on it buying it, though.

Lucky you) Incidentally, the seaweed I just bought is flat, yes it is
nori. I have 5 sheets to a pack and it is already roasted.

Rice? I have what I have now bought. What we know as 'pudding rice' Mr
D says it has to be 'sticky' and pudding rice, is that!

Neither of us has had sushi. Husband loves spam and seaweed and he likes
rice, so I think we have a good start

I saw someone say they had marinaded their spam in Teriyaki, so I will test
that one tomorrow to see if he likes it.
