They don't just squish olives?
Squish, churn the paste, and now they use a centrifuge to extract the oil rather than squishing them A LOT more.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Is that because you have that whole "sushi should be small bite size" thing?
Even very small muffins do not belong in sushi.
But yes, sushi should be bite sized. Not just because it's traditional and giant sushi is impossible to eat with chopsticks, but because giant sushi is never quite cut as nicely as properly sized sushi -- the pieces of fish just too big to avoid all the stringy bits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As Tom so rightly said: "Spread that on your bagel, gaijin!"
That reminds me of "That'll put marzipan in your pie plate!" or whatever.
I love olives, but was a little put off when I ate one the other night, only to learn that it was stuffed with bleu cheese. Yikes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My favorite martini evah! has olives stuffed with bleu cheese in it.
Maybe your olive just needed more vodka?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I remember reading somewhere that sushi is a very unfixed medium, like the sandwich, and was more about form than content. But I have no cite, and it's just the sort of thing I like to believe, so that's probably the only reason I still remember.
The rolls with cream cheese that I eat from time to time are the Philly rolls out here. But every time I get snappish and sushi snobbish I remember one pricey place out here where we did omakase that has a sign up near the front door saying "No California or Spicy Tuna Rolls."
I can't even begin to get proper.
And I don't like olive oil anymore--a few years back it started to give me headaches if I had it in an appreciable quantity, so the love has been lost.

I like avocado in sushi. Hmph.
I use the chopstick to poke mine out through the bottom.
