After years of drought, finally sushi

Tussock Café in Wellington has, for what could be the first time ever, started selling sushi to the delight of students. Tussock has the sole catering contract for the Wellington campus, so previously students have to brave the long walk to Newtown in order to get that tender, delicious snack. 

Student Emma says that “I don’t think I’ve ever seen sushi at Tussock before? Anyway, I’m really excited, even if it will be a little bit shit, knowing Tussock.” Another student says that, after eating the iconic sushi “they felt more content than they had in a long time”. 

There are currently two sushi options: vegetarian and teriyaki chicken. Both are a little bit sneaky and use cucumber and red pepper (the poor man’s avocado if you ask me). The vegetarian has egg, the teriyaki chicken has, well, chicken. 

This reporter rated them a 5/10. They’re a little bit dry, especially without any creamy element such as mayo or avocado, and the chicken is definitely lacking in teriyaki sauce. All in all, it tastes like catering sushi, probably because that’s exactly what it is. A pack of eight pieces will set you back $8. “It’s not like super worth the price, but what in Tussock is?” says student Joe. 

An employee who works at Tussock wasn’t sure of the reason behind the change, but speculates that the food item is becoming popular in catering. Whatever, I’m still saying that it’s to do with Massive’s relentless negging. We wore those suckers down. We can do anything! Well, first, let’s get rice balls. Then, we conquer the world.
