This Sushi Dish Looks Like Slices of WatermelonInstagram member @vickyskitchan describes herself as “a small gal who eats too much.” From her kitchen in London, she makes culinary wonders pleasing to both the eye and the tongue. They include these sashimi appetizers. She picked up the tuna from The Upper Scale, a British fish market, and sliced them into watermelon-like crescents. The rind is made from hollowed out cucumber slices. Sesame seeds complete the look to create the impression that one is eating tiny but real watermelons.It looks complicated, but Vicky describes the meal as “quite possibly one of the fastest appetizers I’ve ever put together.”-via Gastro Obscura#sushi #watermelon
