UC Berkeley students make world-record California sushi roll

The world’s longest California roll was made on the University of California, Berkeley campus Sunday, according to Consul-General of Japan Yasumasa Nagamine. Organizers lined up dozens of six-foot tables that were manned by volunteer students and campus employees and created 330 feet of California roll, complete with avocado, cucumber and faux-crab meat.

At the end of the roll, an additional 15 feet of vegetarian California roll substituted tofu for the meat.

The previous record of 300 feet was set in Hawaii in 2001, Berkeley spokeswoman Kathleen Maclay said.

(...) The roll was made from 200 pounds of dry rice, 80 pounds each of cucumber and avocado, and 180 pounds of fish, the latter donated by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute.
