I'm not a big fan of making sushi at home. Just the though of someone else then a trained sushi chef handling the raw fish Im about to eat does not agree with me. But this cucumber sushi is fine, no raw fish here. I call it "sushi in training". Great way for kids to get used to the idea. You can fill it with cucumbers, avocado, peppers or whatever vegetables you like. Enjoy!
