     Yes, if you consider "white people" as ethnicity, not a race.

    Have you ever eaten it? I saw it on a food show. The host, Andrew Zimmern, ate a piece and almost threw up.

    OMG - I haven't had stuffed derma in ages or kasha varnishkes.  I made kasha varnishkes once.  Came out good.

    You can get it at a good kosher deli like Second Avenue Deli in Manhattan or  Mill Basin Kosher Deli in Brooklyn.

    Sushi was introduced to a chef in Vancouver. It traveled down the west coast, then spread across the US. This post was edited by Element 99 at April 13, 2021 9:59 AM MDT
