It doesn't seem to matter if sushi looks like this Crunchy Philly Roll:
Or this California Roll (on the left):
Or this Lisa Roll:
My son just isn't enthusiastic about sushi.
See?
Though it doesn't always end well, I do have a process for trying to coerce my son into trying foods that are foreign to him (though as much as this family eats sushi, especially from Sushi Train at 51st and Harvard, I don't quite see how we can classify it as a "foreign food"). For what it's worth, here's how it goes.

I would try making a PBJ or whatever known sandwich he likes and put in in a sushi roll form (shape). That would make the roll look not quite so foreign.
My daughter loves sushi, but didn't until she was 7. I think as a toddler it looks like candy, but it doesn't taste so. Now my daughter can't get enough of it.
ambientchatter, that's a freaking brilliant idea. I'll have to give that a try.
Kellyology, I didn't try sushi until I was well into my twenties, so I figure your 7-year-old sushi eater was quite precocious!
Great post! I read the whole thing at TTown Moms.
Kids won't starve themselves.. so I find a "this is what is for dinner... let me know when you're hungry enough to eat it" approach works well. With baby Ava we often try things several times over 30 minutes.. with breaks to go play and get hungry again.
I'm really impressed with how good that sushi looks. I tried Sushi Train a couple of years ago and wasn't a fan, but I might need to visit it again.
Oh my goodness! When did he get a neck?? =( sadness. He looks like a kid.
Awesome pics.... the sushi looks great too. But I want one of those Farmers market burritos :p
