[dropcap size=big]F[/dropcap]rom the same glorious country that gifted us Mar y Tierra (surf and turf) sushi with carne asada, comes the latest edible iteration of everyone’s favorite spongey, cinnamon-y baked good in the shape of a corpse that honors the dead: pan de muerto sushi.
Sopitas, a popular Mexico-based news and culture site, is reporting that Mexico City-based Sushin Gonzalez has created the world’s first pan de muerto-flavored sushi rolls. What the hell does that even mean? It means, open your mind, vatxs.
Buttery slices of hamachi sprinkled with citrus? Well-marbled slabs of creamy salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds? Ripe, fanned-out avocado? Nope. Think candied quince paste, milky panela cheese, pastry cream, orange zest, all wrapped with motherfucking sushi rice. This truly seasonal monster of a roll is called “Amairoll” and is available until November 15th in their restaurant located at Avenida Universidad.
