Years ago, Lucy came up with a fruit stupid that had a sweetened, enriched bread dough for a crust.  This time Lucy really want all out with an almond crust, adding a cream Anglaise and cream cheese filling with the fruit on top.  This one is light years ahead of her first one if you ask me.

For those who don't like to read too much here are the major differences to what most of people usually do:

But National Sushi Day is November 1st!

Here is Dabrownman's Swordfish Nigiri - Nigiri is traditionally served 2 identical at a time.

And here is Dabrownman breaking the rule and serving 6 - 3 of each at a time with some Salmon Nigiri but there were 3 of us so we got 2 each if that counts.  I have never seen bread of any kind served with sushi of any kind

I loved all the posts on the community bake and decided to join in on the fun with a few adaptations of course! ?Here is my version:
