I hate this, Strands. Not the puzzle itself, which is fine, but the CALIFORNIAROLL, which is a disgusting concoction simply because it contains MAYONNAISE. Mayonnaise is one of the worst things ever – not only is it a terrible food, but a plague on society, because IT IS USED ON ALMOST EVERYTHING AND I HATE IT. Listen, you don't need mayonnaise on things. It doesn't make them better. In fact, it ruins them. Just skip it and try the real ingredients instead of spreading this horrible stuff everywhere. Especially on sushi, which doesn't need it at all.
Oh yes, there is a game to talk about here too, isn't there? Well, it's quite easy, as the spangram takes up about half of the board. Most of the answers are relatively easy to find, and if you like mayonnaise, I'm sure you'll be delighted with the whole game.
