Onigiri fillings

Pumpkin seed oil

@salpico - that does sound amazing. Husband is excited to try it.

@pooch - yeah, I know I can't hear it, and I think that's why I'm having such a hard time finding a use for it.

How Old Is Too Old To Trick-or-Treat?

My younger sister is 22 and went out trick-or-treating this year. I thought that was kind of pathetic.

Vegan Crepes for Breakfast

The angry vegan police are going to jump out of the woodwork any moment and declare these non-vegan for having honey in them.

However, they look amazing and this vegan would totally scarf them down.

As usual, Pavlov, you cut right to the point - I would call it, "Global Gobble" Too bad it isn't a blog on drinking - it could be, "International Imbibing!"

First ideas are often the best! I like Eat the World. I love the Wiki-eatia idea - that's great. Check on any copyright infringements though.

Maybe instead of Eat the World, it's "Eating the World." Here are some others that popped into my head:

Eat This World
We're Eating What?
Eating the Continents (and everything in between)
Staying for Dinner
Another Place Setting
A Forkfull of Culture
Culture Bites
Culture Fork
Culinary Passport (not sure if this has been used before)

I like @CJ's Cuisine Quest and World's Fare and @bareneed's Gastronomical Chairs

My brainstorm was:
Weekly Vittles
World Cuisine Weekly
A Day in the Spice (though that sounds like it's only spicy cuisine)
A Day of
Three Meals From

Or you could make up a word. I thought of words using "pan" for a double meaning, the prefix "pan" meaning "all" (as in pan-Asian food) and the noun "pan" the thing you cook with.
PanAmbrosia -
PanGastronome
PanEpicure
PanSkillet (just for laughs)

I don't know mine may all be stinkers.

Onigiri fillings

Umeboshi! Hands down my favorite. I have to say though that it's a flavor that people either love or hate. I can't grasp quite why anyone would hate it because it's so ridiculously delicious, but, there ya go.

I love chopped kimchi also, but it's really garlicky and maybe not something you'd feel comfortable eating and then rushing off to class after.

@deetroit is right on with the olives. They work really, really well.

The important thing to remember is that you don't have to use Asian ingredients. For a while there I was obsessed with making them with a mix of roasted jalapenos and cheddar cheese.

Spicy tuna is very popular filling, and deservedly so. Canned tuna, Kewpie mayo, and Sriracha.

Oh! And small cubed spam browned well, then mixed with wasabi. Wrapped with the nori it's like an awesome triangular musubi.

Some flavors are not going to work with the nori (like the jalapeno mix, or the olives) but others pretty much beg for it. If you want a wrapping that is not nori with accompanying ocean flavor, you can also use yuba, which is a wrapper made out out of tofu skin (it happens when you boil soy milk, much what happens with regular milk, but with far more delightful results). I know it may sound gross, but trust me, it's just wonderful.

I'm really interested to see what you come up with. Please let us know.

Pumpkin seed oil

Drizzled over a baked sweet potato with a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, raw or pan-toasted. Okay, maybe gilded with a tiny dab of something cheesy -- goat cheese, ricotta, mascarpone, Philly cream cheese, a grating of Parm.

When I bought the pumpkin seed oil at Wegman's, they were giving out tasting samples of it dripped over Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream as a topping. It sound weird, but the intensely nutty flavor worked with the ice cream and was quite delicious.
