Sushi as a sandwich
Some of the earliest references to "sushi" I was able to find on ProQuest refer to it as a kind of sandwich.
Sushi, a popular Japanese sandwich, consists of a slab of amanori on which is placed boiled rice and strips of meat. Then the sushi is rolled like a jelly roll and cut into transverse slices.
(Chicago Tribune, Jan 22 1932)
If you're a sandwich fancier, try sushi when you visit Japan. Northwest Airlines advises tourists that sushi is a rice sandwich that is popular with natives and visitors. Shrimp, eel, egg slices and other fish are rolled into or placed on top of a ball of rice. This is rolled inside a thin sheet of sun-baked seaweed. It's dipped in soy sauce and pickled ginger-root.
(L.A. Times, Dec. 29, 1957)
Similarly, a 1958 article refers to "sushi sandwiches".
Actually, sushi was described as a sandwich as late as 1981 in the Washington Post:
SUSHI: These seaweed-vinegared-rice-and-raw-fish sandwiches are traditionally served at tiny bars in Japan.

Well, that would make sense. Then you could throw away the sushi and eat the bread. That way at least you get SOMETHING out of it. Besides bad breath and a tapeworm.

I tried sushi once. Took it home and cooked it. Tasted like fish.

[nq:1]Speaking of sandwiches, a recent article in The Scotsman (http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1080742004 ) refers to a "fried chickpea sandwich". Would the word "falafel" really confuse too many members of their audience?[/nq]
What evidence do you have that it was falafel?

Sans those other news reports, it could have been chumus, I suppose (although I don't know whether the beans are fried to make chumus).
