World Scene: United States

'Longest' sushi roll It was the roll of a lifetime.

Hundreds of amateur sushi chefs at the University of California, Berkeley got their hands fishy on Sunday as they assembled a 101-meter California roll.

A university spokeswoman said Sunday's rice-and-seaweed monstrosity is the largest of its kind ever rolled, surpassing a 91-meter California roll made in Hawaii in 2001. Students used 90 kg of rice, 36 kg of avocado, 36 kg of cucumber and 81 kg of fish. And in a nod to the school's scores of vegetarians, the final 4.6 meters contained tofu instead of seafood.
