English term or phrase: it's a wrap
Überschrift in einem Sushi-Kochbuch; ich nehme an, das ist ein Idiom, komme aber nicht drauf, wie es gemeint sein könnte. Gibt es deutsche Entsprechungen?

German translation:s erklaerung
Explanation:
It can be a pun (wortspiel) because there are two possible meanings:
1. In film-making "it's a wrap" means "we've finished shooting the scene" eg. wrap it up (Abwickeln?)
2. Sushi wraps are fish/rice/veggies rolled or wrapped up in seaweed strips. (Auch irgendwas mit -wickeln zu tun)
hope that's clear

Sushi-Wraps


Explanation:
Das ist kein Idiom, das ist der neue Trend. Die Wraps heissen auch so auf deutsch, auch auf meiner (deutschen) Tortilla-Packung.

Wenn Du es unbedingt eindeutschen willst:

Selbst-Rollen, in Anspielung an Zigaretten.

noch eine Idee: Richtig gewickelt ... auf Japanisch!

Ansonsten hat David mit seiner Erklärung natürlich Recht.

hoffentlich hilft\'s
