	chirashi chipotle chile chipped beef chips chirashi Choron sauce Christmas melon Clamart, à la Definition: [chee-RAH-shee] A term meaning "scattered sushi" and referring to a Japanese dish consisting of sushi meshi (vinegared rice) served with various ingredients including chopped vegetables, sashimi, cured fish, roe, nori and omelet slices. In Japanese homes, the ingredients are either scattered on top of or mixed throughout the rice. In sushi bars, chirashi is more formal--ingredients are separately arranged on top of the rice for a more elegant presentation. --Copyright (c) 1995 by Barron's Educational Series, from The New Food Lover's Companion, Second Edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst
