Until recently, we'd really only ever eaten sushi as rolls or hand rolls. But then a restaurant in New York City started serving a sushi burrito, and the internet never looked back. Since then, there have been countless photos of sushi hybrids (all based on already-trendy foods) posted to Instagram.
They include burritos, burgers, cake, and even sandwiches. We rounded up some of the popular pics, in case — like us — you were blissfully unaware of the endless possibilities. If we had to guess, we'd say it's only a matter of time before sushi pizza and sushi ramen take the internet by storm.
Are you a fan of these mashups, or are you a sushi traditionalist? Let us know in the comments!

5. Sushi Doughnuts
Don't worry, these aren't a weird mix of savory and sweet. They just borrow that iconic hole-in-the-middle shape.

6. Sushi-Stuffed Croissants
Crack open these croissants to find an unexpected layer of smoked salmon, pickled ginger, wasabi, and nori.
