Okay, here’s a quick rundown:

Maki roll means those fat little disks with the dark seaweed wrapper and the rice and filling in the middle.

Uni is kind of hard to translate, but it’s a sort of a card game.

Unagi is an expression meaning “your pants offend me.”

Tobiko is a much-beloved cartoon lobster who appeared in a number of animated shorts in the 1960s.

So, yeah. Kind of a weird recipe.

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve always wondered about these terms. If I’m at a sushi restaurant and someone says “Unagi,” should I strip down?
