Very true, those are the two most widely popular rolls, so it’s rare that anyone deviates from the typical recipe a whole lot.

Other then arguably the Philadelphia Roll, the California Roll is the only roll named after an american location which can consistantly be expected to have roughly the same ingredients.

Oooh now there’s a good idea! I’ve never had a roll with pastrami… sounds delicious!

I think a REAL new york roll would be some luscious, juicy pastrami– especially since pastrami sandwiches are often known for their mindboggling size and heft, a teeny pastramiroll would be a very interesting way to reinterpret that deli standard

Yvo –

8ptstars – True, but the smoked salmon and cream cheese roll is already called the Philadelphia Roll, so I suppose they had to come up with something else.

I’d guess the NY roll comes from the idea of a bagel with cream cheese and lox, but that would be more appropriate for smoked salmon instead of tuna.

Hi Anonymous, thanks for your thoughts! You certainly bring up some interesting points! I have heard the argument for the Philly Roll being called a New York Roll before, but since the Philly Roll is so well known, I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

I’m going to assume that they are calling this a “New York” roll cause of it’s similarities to a “Philly Roll” in that both have cream cheese. In all honesty though I always thought that the “philly roll” has more in common with New York and Philly. The “Philly Roll” has smoked salmon and cream cheese is just a bagel away from being bagel cream cheese and lox. Of course the bagel and lox being one of the, at least that I’ve always heard, classic deli options in New York.

So, the “Philly Roll” really should be a “New York Roll” and whatever this nice looking maki is should be called something else. What? Well I have no idea. Call it a “Philly Roll”… of course we could always call any roll with cream cheese in it a “Philly Roll” I suppose…
