[edit] "Things not generally served as tempura"

This part seems rather odd to me. I doubt many readers would assume tempura is made of rice. Shouldn't we be describing what tempura is, rather than what it isn't?

Things not generally served as tempura include rice and other cereals, processed foods such as tofu (although some versions of agedashi dofu resemble tempura), and fruits. Notable exceptions are ice cream and banana.

If no one objects, I'd like to remove this, but keep the mentions of agedashi dofu, ice cream, and banana. --Dforest 14:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sushi

A common thing I've found in California/Nevada is tempura sushi rolls. This probably should be included in the page. I'm unsure of the extent of this phenomenon.
