Fusion Dessert Sushi Rolls

These Waffle Breakfast Sushi Rolls Don't Need Soy Sauce

— September 22, 2013 — Lifestyle
At first, the 'Waffle Breakfast Sushi Rolls' sound completely out of place, not least because sushi alludes to a sour, vinegary taste, which counteracts the 'Waffle,' and 'Breakfast' -- well, I've never had the chance to enjoy sushi at the crack of dawn.

But Dan Whalen, writing in the Taste For Adventure blog, has found a way to fuse the delicious culinary dessert with the preparatory elements of the Japanese staple food. By using "pizzelles" -- a more rigid, sturdier alternative to traditional waffles -- Whalen "overloads" the pizzelle maker so they come out as whole chunks in a rectangular shape.

Using strawberries, bananas and pineapples -- although these are just the ingredients used for the particular blog post -- and whipped cream cheese, he then tops then together, rolls them up and cuts them into small, bite-sized pieces. To serve, he puts some maple syrup into a soup bowl and eats them with a chopstick.
Trend Themes
1. Dessert Sushi Rolls - The fusion of dessert and sushi creates opportunities for innovation in the food industry.
2. Breakfast Sushi - Creating breakfast-specific sushi rolls opens the door to new flavor combinations and breakfast food innovations.
3. Alternative Waffle Recipes - Using non-traditional waffle recipes, such as pizzelles, offers the chance to create unique and unexpected dishes.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage Industry - The creation of new dessert and breakfast sushi rolls could lead to new menu items at restaurants, cafes, and bakeries.
2. Waffle Maker Industry - The use of pizzelle makers, or similar machines, for creating unique waffle alternatives could open up a new market for kitchen appliances.
3. Online Food Blogging Industry - The development of innovative recipes, like the Waffle Breakfast Sushi Rolls, allows for growth within the online food blogging community.
