Umami magazine @

The Magazine Trade Fair

March 30, 2012 at 160 Princess Street 

(Red River College downtown)

Noon until 4 PM

Are you bored? Want FREE stuff?

Wanted to eat sushi off a naked body? Pose next to a Harley? Play street hockey? Listen to some rad music? Watch some stand-up comedy? Drink some free booze? Eat candy? Get on TV (maybe)? 

I know you're probably thinking: "What's the catch? All that stuff is so sweet." 

I know. It is. And the only reason why we're giving out all that stuff is because we're students trying to show off our magazine project...and to get a good grade in P.R. class for organizing an event.

So check it out on your lunch break, drop by if your in the neighbourhood, eat some free food and get free stuff. Roam around check out different booths we've worked very hard on.

We know you're bored, so you may as well.

FOOD IN MY BEARD

Sushi in it's traditional sense usually has Japanese products like rice, avocado and an assortment of fish...

What happens when you substitute fish and avocado for prosciutto and Portabello mushrooms.

And instead of rice, Orzo pasta... here's what you get...

Check out The Food In My Beard blog to see Dan's interesting take on Japanese sushi.

He has many, many other interesting varieties of sushi just type in 'sushi' in the search box on his site.

One of my favorites we're going to have to try is Pulled Pork sushi.

Sushi making explained

Don't know much about sushi?

Just know that you like it and want to sound like a pro ordering it? Do you want to maybe start to learn how to make sushi on your own? Well, here is where you find the basics, along with some adorable graphics.

Did you know a bamboo rolling matt is called a Hangiri?

A Uramaki roll is an inside out roll, with the seaweed, or nori, wrapped on the inside. This is probably the type of sushi you've had at your local Canadian sushi restaurant because it is the most popular type of sushi in North America.
