Norimaki
''Norimaki'' (海苔巻) are various Japanese dishes wrapped with nori seaweed, most commonly a kind of sushi, ''makizushi'' (巻き寿司). Other than ''makizushi'', ''onigiri'' (おにぎり, rice balls), ''sashimi'', '' senbei'' (煎餅, rice crackers) and ''chikuwa'' (竹輪, bamboo ring) are also regarded as ''norimaki'' if they are wrapped with seaweed. Description ''Makizushi'' ''Makizushi'' (, "rolled sushi") was first described in the 1750 publication "Ryori SanKaigo" as makizushi (). In the 1787 publication "Shichigokobi", it was mentioned as being on the menus of sushi restaurants in Edo as sushi that does not stain the hands. In the early days of ''Makizushi'', there were many other types of sushi rolled in other than seaweed, such as those rolled in thinly roasted eggs, or those rolled in shallow seaweed, wakame seaweed, or bamboo bark and so on. In Tokyo, there exists ''kampyo-maki''(干瓢巻, dried gourd rolls) made in the Edo period. The combination of ' ...

Onigiri 001
, also known as , , or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or cylindrical shapes and often wrapped in ''nori''. Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled ume (''umeboshi''), salted salmon, katsuobushi, kombu, tarako, mentaiko, takanazuke (pickled ''takana'', Japanese giant red mustard greens) or any other salty or sour ingredient as a natural preservative. Most Japanese convenience stores stock their onigiri with various fillings and flavors. There are even specialized shops which only sell onigiri to take out. Due to the popularity of this trend in Japan, onigiri has become a popular staple in Japanese restaurants worldwide.

The most common surimi product in the Western market is imitation crab meat. Such a product often is sold as ''krab,'' ''imitation crab'' and ''mock crab'' in the United States, and as ''seafood sticks'', ''crab sticks'', ''fish sticks'', ''seafood highlighter'' or ''seafood extender'' in Commonwealth nations. In Britain, the product is sometimes known as ''seafood sticks'' to avoid breaking Trading Standards rules on false advertising. History Fish pastes have been a popular food in East Asia.

Frozen Food
Freezing food preserves it from the time it is prepared to the time it is eaten. Since early times, farmers, fishermen, and trappers have preserved grains and produce in unheated buildings during the winter season. Freezing food slows decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species. In the food commodity industry, there are two processes: mechanical and cryogenic (or flash freezing). The freezing kinetics is important to preserve the food quality and texture. Quicker freezing generates smaller ice crystals and maintains cellular structure. Cryogenic freezing is the quickest freezing technology available due to the ultra low liquid nitrogen temperature . Preserving food in domestic kitchens during modern times is achieved using household freezers. Accepted advice to householders was to freeze food on the day of purchase. An initiative by a supermarket group in 2012 (backed by the UK's Waste & Resources Action Programme) promot ...

Convenience Store
A convenience store, convenience shop, corner store or corner shop is a small retail business that stocks a range of everyday items such as coffee, groceries, snack foods, confectionery, soft drinks, ice creams, tobacco products, lottery tickets, over-the-counter drugs, toiletries, newspapers and magazines.

Some also sell tickets or recharge smart cards, e.g. OPUS cards in Montreal.

Chicken Nugget
A chicken nugget is a food product consisting of a small piece of deboned chicken meat that is breaded or battered, then deep-fried or baked. Invented in the 1950s, chicken nuggets have become a very popular fast food restaurant item, as well as widely sold frozen for home use. History The chicken nugget was invented in the 1950s by Robert C. Baker, a food science professor at Cornell University, and published as unpatented academic work. This bite-sized piece of chicken, coated in batter and then deep fried, was called the "Chicken Crispie" by Baker and his associates. Two problems the meat industry was facing at the time were being able to clump ground meat without a skin and producing a batter coating that could be both deep fried and frozen without becoming detached. Baker's innovations solved these problems and made it possible to form chicken nuggets in any shape by first coating the meat in vinegar, salt, grains, and milk powder to make it hold together and then ...

Europe In some European countries, cooked and often smoked wiener sausages bought fresh from supermarkets, delicatessens and butcher shops may be called by a name (such as in German or French) which translates in English as "Vienna sausage." Traditionally, they are made from cured pork, but in Eastern and Southern Europe, sausages made from chicken or turkey are more common; these are also sold in places with a significant population of people who do not eat pork for religious reasons.
