St. Louis Sushi (pickle roll-up)

     
Wikipedia: Minnesota sushi
Minnesota sushi is a type of roll that is popular in the Midwestern United States. The dish goes by different names in different regions and is also known as midwest sushi, pickle wrap, pickle roll-up, frog eyes, pickle dawg, Iowa sushi, Lutheran sushi, ham and pickle pinwheels, or St. Louis sushi.
 
It is made by wrapping a slice of ham, beef, or salami with cream cheese around a pickle, and then slicing it into bite-sized pieces. While the origins of the dish are unclear, some believe that it can be traced to German immigration to the United States.

“Holiday Pickle Wraps.” “Iowa Sushi.” “Lutheran Sushi.” No matter what you call them, they’re delicious! http://dmreg.co/2wSrD7k

Cream cheese, pickles and ham it’s actually really good. I’ve never heard them called Lutheran sushi though. We just call them pickle roll ups.

Unfortunately, the “St. Louis Sushi” he brought to the event—ham wrapped around a pickle with cream cheese, which he insists “all makes sense in your mouth”—does not make sense in our friends’ bowels.
