Created by The Vulgar Chef and sent to Elie Ayrouth at [FoodBeast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lto-western-bbq-pizza) via drunk text message, Thanksgiving sushi is an unusual albeit seasonal take on Japanese cuisine. The Vulgar Chef is no stranger to the [sushi roll format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-maple-smoked-salmon-roll), having previously concocted such masterpieces as Ramen Sushi and peculiar poutine sushi. This particular iteration from the creative Internet chef consists of [stuffing, turkey and cranberry sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-dinner) all rolled together and wrapped in the turkey skin. For dipping, he also mixed mashed potatoes with wasabi. This sushi recipe could be used throughout the holiday season. It would not be a recommended dish, however, for those attempting to eat healthy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Holiday-themed Cuisine:** Opportunity to create unconventional cuisine and innovative dishes with holiday flavors during festive seasons. - **Untraditional Food Pairings:** An opportunity to explore unusual food combinations to create new flavor experiences. - **Sushi Fusion:** An opportunity to fuse sushi with other world dishes to create culinarily unique offerings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage industry to innovate and create unique culinary experiences mixing traditional dishes with international flavors. - **Restaurant and Catering:** Opportunity to create specialty entrees for catering or restaurant business during festive seasons to cater to a trend-seeking consumer base. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for marketing and advertising companies to highlight unique dishes and offerings related to unconventional menus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cajun-Asian Fusion Sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempura-shrimp-sushi-roll.md) - [Bread-Based Sushi Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughmakase.md) - [Thanksgiving-Inspired Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roasted-turkey-sweet-potato-burrito.md) - [Chili Crisp California Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-sushi-roll.md) - [Thanksgiving Instant Ramens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-noodles-turkey-dinner.md) - [Seasonal Thanksgiving Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wurst-thanksgiving-sausage.md) - [Thanksgiving Meal Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-straw-thanksgiving-series.md) - [Hot Dog-Themed Turkeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-dogs.md) - [Oven-Ready Sushi Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crushi.md)
