So can someone explain the difference between sushi and sashimi?
I got a vague impression somewhere that "sushi" really refers to
"little bits of food wrapped with rice and seaweed" not "raw fish"
and that "sashimi" is what really means "raw fish" specifically.
But everyone I know says no, sushi is raw fish and sashimi must
refer to a specific method of preparing raw fish.

I have just looked in the dictionary and it says that "sushi" is
raw fish OR seaweed wrapped around rice, and that "sashimi" is
thinly sliced raw fish.  But dictionary definitions never really
tell the whole story.

What I want to know is, if I slice zucchini and carrots and wrap them
with flavored sticky rice in sushi nori, is it sushi or not?  ;-)
