This is also a grocery store Philly Roll. We’re already past simple fusion and into some Red Giant Helium-to-Oxygen shit. If my man wants some ranch, then so be it. He’s not denying himself an unsullied cross-cultural experience.

    Isn't that more of a California Roll? Around here, a philly roll is salmon, cream cheese and cucumber, no sauce.

    Standard Philly roll is raw salmon, cream cheese, and avocado, but some places do it differently while maintaining the name. The only hard requirements are salmon (some places even use smoked salmon and call it a Philly roll, which I disagree with, but whatever) and cream cheese.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, cuz I don't know, but wikipedia says:

    A Philadelphia roll is a makizushi (also classified as a kawarizushi)[1] type of sushi generally made with smoked (or sometimes raw) salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber, with the rice on the outside (uramaki).[2] It is sometimes made with imitation crab instead of salmon, but can be found to include other ingredients, such as other types of fish,[3] cucumber,[4] scallions,[5] and sesame seed. Like many Western-inspired sushi rolls, its design and name are modified to target an American market, which includes putting the rice on the outside, and the nori in the inside (inside-out sushi) to appeal to western aesthetics.[6][7]

    I wonder why the inside out roll is supposed to appeal more to westerners. As a westerner, I don’t mind the nori on the outside.

    I caught that too. I think it's the dark color on the outside? They sell onigiri in a lot of our grocery stores and I've only seen them covered with opaque wrappings. That's why I think it's correct, but I'm not sure. It could also seem less chewy when it's on the outside because there's more to stretch? Just guessing.

    Wow. Time for me to make an edit because that is some bullshit.

    It is sometimes made with imitation crab instead of salmon

    I can't even imagine where this came from because I have never encountered this and I have been eating sushi all over the world. It is never made with imitation crab.

    Around here (Texas), it’s the cream cheese and smoked salmon that make a place call it a Philly Roll, and the avocado vs cucumber varies by restaurant. Avocado is pretty popular though, because anything that evokes Tex-Mex will find an audience.
