Japanese sushi usually has fish in their sushi.

I've seen types of Korean sushi that have spam or ham inside and some egg too. I think they also have pickles inside.

I;ve heard Korean sushi with spam came about becuase after ww2 and the korean war there was too much surplus spam left over from the US army so every1 started using it in sushi...

is that true and do you eat spam sushi at home? or even if you have eaten before, what is it like? do you like it?

You mean kimbap? I guess that's Korean version of Sushi ... or Japanese sushi is Korean version of Kimbap... something like that.

Anyways, I don't really see sushi with spam in it, but I do see musubi.

Spam musubis rock! I've never seen spam kimbap in Korea but I have seen them in Guam. They are delicious.

lol gimbap... is so so so so good! there's a korean ahjumma here who makes them every morning with her co-workers! and the first time i went to her shop, she proudly told me to try the gimbap there! The gimbap, for some reason, tastes better because it seems to be made with the shop's love for korean food

it's so, so, so good! but still, on that note, japanese sushi is also good i don't think you can really compare the two! they are completely dissimilar tastes!

I think i've only had spam musubi in Hawaii... i don't think i've ever seen it marketed as korean sushi though... the shop that i go to sells tuna fish (the kind you can get in cans), spicy tuna fish, and beef! AHHH this is making me hungry!

i just dont like spam.
spam and rice.

i believe there are more flavors to taste.

Of course it isn't the same and kimbbap as more vegetables in it than a Japanese sushi type will. Either way, each are good and delicious. One's just more expensive, that's all.

i dont think its the same either. they just look similar haha
i dont think traditional kimbap uses much spam, its mostly ham.

i always want to make pretty kimbap with those designs
mine are always plain looking

Korean sushi is called kimbap, and it's definitely not the same as Japanese sushi.

I'm not a fan of spam. But I like Kimbap with sausage or beef. Yum~

[sujusk]

I am not a spam fan,
but I have eaten sushi with spam in them on Guam.
Usually, all the sushi's made from Guam have spam in them.
They are delicious!

At my Japanese friend's graduation, her aunts made so much spam sushi... It was pretty amazing.

They mixed veggies like carrots and some green stuff (no idea what it was) as well as tiny bits of eel, some chunks of spam and wrapped it in rice and nori seaweed.

It was so good! They even taught me to make it at home. I love spam sushi. I think it's only a Japanese American thing, though...

[h0meb0y]

what is the correct romanization? kimbap or gimbap? i notice they changed the k to g spelling

anyways gimbap is more like wrap rather than sushi.
