Courteney Cox Shows Off Her Sushi-Inspired 'Alabama Roll'—And It's...Certainly Something

Courteney Cox Shows Off Her Sushi-Inspired 'Alabama Roll'—And It's...Certainly Something

Former star of the hit show Friends Courteney Cox shared quite the interesting video on her social media recently.

She compared what she called the "Alabama Roll" (an homage to her home state) to the popular sushi roll we know as a California Roll.


Holding up a plate of sushi to the screen, Cox starts:

"This is a California roll."
"We didn't have these where I grew up, but we did have..."

Laid out on the table we see Boar's Head maple honey turkey, Havarti cheese slices, Fritos, light mayonnaise, yellow mustard and Avocado.

Definitely not the ingredients for a sushi roll.

Laying the turkey down first, Cox layers the ingredients down one by one and then begins to roll the turkey up with everything packed inside. Proudly, she dubs her creation the "Alabama Roll."

Cox cuts it in half and jokes:

"It's more of a hand roll than a cut roll, but Nobu should definitely put it on their menu."

As wild as it is to compare cold cuts from Alabama to Japanese cuisine, people really seemed to enjoy it.

An Older MAGA Voter's Rant About How Prices Are Going Up Due To Trump Is Getting Epically Skewered

Keith Pedersen, a senior Trump voter, went viral after sharing on Facebook his complaints about how prices for gas, groceries and other essentials are going up under President Trump—and has received some very unsympathetic responses.

In January, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.

Someone Hacked Crosswalks In Denver To Play Hilariously NSFW Anti-Trump Messages—And It's Brilliant

Hackers changed the messages on some newly-installed crosswalks in Denver, Colorado, to play messages criticizing President Donald Trump—to the delight of anti-Trumpers.

The crosswalk push-buttons were newly installed and “still bagged,” operating on factory settings that included a default password easily found online, according to Nancy Kuhn of the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. She said the password has now been changed and officials “don’t expect a repeat situation" at these locations.

Kevin Hart Shared A Video Of His New Wax Sculpture Likeness—And His Reaction Is Priceless

Creating wax figures of celebrities and historical figures should be one of those things that, if you can't do it right, you probably shouldn't do it at all.

Though there have been some examples of successive likenesses, like the recent Harry Styles world tour, most celebrity renditions inevitably have something about them that looks a little... off.
