Try Wasabi

but it appears I’ve already done this.

Well, I would still like to profess my love for Wasabi.

mmmm, w/ sushi and wasabi peas. :D

I’m a little distressed to find that we aren’t really eating real wasabi though – according to the wikipedia entry we are being sold a paste made of horseradish, mustard and coloring.

no matter – i still love that sinus clearing flavor!

.. as long as it is the MILD version..

We were at a vegan sushi place, and my brave 2nd son said it couldn’t be too hot for him. He took a whole spoonful in one bite. And we laughed and laughed, as he ran to grab the pitcher of water in the restaurant and drink about half of it.

I have very sensitive taste buds so this was an unpleasant experience for me.

it was delicious!!!! I want more :)

I was clever and only tried a little bit and that was hot enough but my friend alicia tried a glob about the size of a penmny and she was screaming four about 5 minutes and frothing at the mouth and spitting and then she had a drink of water and no one had told her that only makes it worse. It was hillarious.

Hot:)

It varies in strength a lot depending on who has made it. Obviously good on sushi; Wasabi peas are a delight.

since i have had any….

Just be careful: a little goes a long way! Don’t confuse this stuff with guacamole like I did once. LOL
