Sushi comes in many types. I generally stick to 3 which I'll call by their Japanese names, I'm learning to speak it at the minute my conversation skills are crap but I can order food pretty well - in my opinion much more important!
Nigiri - A bock of sushi rice topped with a thin layer of topping. The blocks are usually hand formed but I'm pants at it I bought a mould from Ebay which makes five little rectangles ready to be topped.
Maki - this is what most people probably think of when they think of sushi it can be a fat roll (futomaki) or a slim roll (maki) they can be hand rolled or made using a mould or machine.
Inari - This is sushi rice which has been placed in a pocked made of fried beancurd. The beancurd has a sweet taste and isn't to everyones liking.
