A cheese roll (occasionally known by the older name of Cheese roll-up) is a snack food similar to Welsh rarebit but created by covering a slice of bread in a prepared filling consisting mainly of grated or sliced cheese and then rolling it into a tube shape before toasting. Cheese rolls are a very popular food in Otago and Southland of New Zealand where they are commonly found as a menu item at cafeterias and similar food outlets and uncommonly referred to as southern sushi.
