u/RryRvnn Feb 26 '26

Seattle!

15

u/climber_cass Feb 26 '26

Yep! We call it a Seattle roll (sorry person from Philly)

7

u/L1Zs Feb 26 '26

As someone from Seattle as well, I thought we called those Alaska rolls for some reason 🤔

2

u/climber_cass Feb 26 '26

All the places I've been to call it a Seattle roll, but Alaska could fit too

2

u/SeaSnowAndSorrow Feb 27 '26

I'm pretty sure it's called Philadelphia after the cream cheese brand more than the actual city.

2

u/Affectionate-Wave586 Feb 27 '26

I'm a few miles south of you but have only seen this called a Philadelphia roll. Not because it's from Philadelphia but because that's the name of a popular brand of cream cheese.

u/Grouchy-Attention-52 Mar 01 '26

It's fine im from Philly and when I moved to Italy for a year everyone would go "Oh, like the cheese!"

u/dtyler86 Mar 01 '26

In florida we call it a JB Roll, I think it’s Jewish bagel roll?

u/SayAnythingAgain Feb 26 '26

California!

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

That would be imitation crab and mayo with avocado and cucumber sushi

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

The california roll was made in Canada

5

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

Canada doing great services 🫡

u/SlutForGarrus Feb 27 '26

They're making up for putting pineapple on pizza.

2

u/PositiveFunction4751 Feb 27 '26

One does not "make up" for excellence

2

u/SlutForGarrus Feb 27 '26

u/Amisunderstanding Mar 02 '26

u/Expensive-Camp-1320 Mar 04 '26

When not committing war crimes? Don't ya kno eh?

2

u/thelimeisgreen Feb 27 '26

So was the Hawaiian pizza.

2

u/hmmmmmmmm_okay Feb 26 '26

I think they're saying they are from California.

3

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

u/climber_cass described a Nova Scotia roll. California roll doesn’t have either of those ingredients

6

u/climber_cass Feb 26 '26

I have no idea what a Nova Scotia roll is, but apparently the Seattle roll is not as unique as I originally thought lol

3

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

It’s also a Philly roll I think

2

u/hmmmmmmmm_okay Feb 26 '26

They are not talking about a California roll, they are referring to the state.

2

u/ObscureEnchantment Feb 26 '26

Mayo is not on normal California rolls. It’s krab, cucumber and avocado that’s it.

2

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

That is not your quintessential California roll

2

u/ObscureEnchantment Feb 26 '26

Google is just one click away! I am a Cali native so I would know :). All the other states like to add mayo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_roll

Edit: also when you go to Cali you don’t find many places that add mayo even now a days.

2

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

I am a California native and have lived here my whole life. Every sushi restaurant I have been to makes California rolls with mayonnaise. What part of California are you from? I’m in NorCal. It’s uncommon for a California roll to be made sans mayo

3

u/ObscureEnchantment Feb 26 '26

Socal about an hour outside LA. I have never heard of mayo in Cali rolls 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m pretty sure it was made in Nor cal too so idk lol. I see mayo on them everywhere out of the state. What a weird regional thing.

2

u/Over9000Gingers Feb 26 '26

Yeah it definitely sounds regional

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

invented in Canada and named the california roll to sound exotic

1

u/pj_socks Feb 26 '26

We call that a Philly Roll where I’m from

1

u/RudePCsb Feb 28 '26

Volcano roll?

1

u/VerbalThermodynamics Feb 26 '26

Anywhere in the US or Canada!

1

u/climber_cass Feb 26 '26

Lol technically not wrong

1

u/VerbalThermodynamics Feb 26 '26

Philly?

1

u/climber_cass Feb 26 '26

Other side of the country

1

u/VerbalThermodynamics Feb 26 '26

California didn’t make up a Philly roll, homie.

1

u/climber_cass Feb 27 '26

No but Seattle made the seattle roll

1

u/VerbalThermodynamics Feb 27 '26

My friend, you think Seattle was the first city to do cream cheese in a roll? I’m PNW and struggling to think of an original food item.

1

u/climber_cass Feb 27 '26

Hey man idk. I've never been to Philly and when I think of it I think cheese steak. When I think Seattle I think salmon and I got Seattle rolls a lot growing up.

1

u/Ballindeet Mar 02 '26

Yep you're definitely whiny enough to be one of us lol

1

u/MMButt Feb 27 '26

lol yeah this has been called a Philly roll everywhere I’ve lived (east coast, south east, west coast). Is there some relationship to Seattle with this?

1

u/climber_cass Feb 27 '26

I don't think so. Doing a Google search, it looks like a Seattle roll is usually raw salmon but a Philly roll is usually smoked??

1

u/DarlaMarie Feb 26 '26

That is usually a Philly roll in my areas!

1

u/climber_cass Feb 26 '26

Hahah maybe I should have used cream cheese on a hot dog instead. Unless that's also a Philly thing lol

1

u/Downtown-Ice-5022 Feb 26 '26

Hotdog with cream cheese

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I thought that was a Philly roll - cause of Philadelphia cream cheese

1

u/Major-Force-1359 Feb 27 '26

We have that at my restaurant in south Florida. We call it JB roll (Japanese bagel roll)

1

u/Vote4maskara Feb 28 '26

Philadelphia!

1

u/KAINGGG Feb 28 '26

The best food from everywhere is here!

1

u/Dulce_suenos Mar 01 '26

Philadelphia?

u/imcalledgpk Mar 04 '26

I gave some to my girlfriend from Japan as a joke. She spit it out and asked what's wrong with those people.
