That sucked big time. The powder would fly everywhere and get in your eyes. When I was done, we'd have a lump of wasabi about the size of a melon.

|  | In case you missed it, I work for QSC Audio!
Applications Engineer, QSC Audio | | Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Costa Mesa, Calif. | | | I once went to lunch with a bunch of co-workers to a Japanese restaurant. One of the engineers who came along apparently had never had sushi before, and he thought the wasabi was a condiment that you put on it. So that's what he did with the first piece.
Boy, was he wrong. Very soon after he popped it into his mouth and started chewing, his face started blushing and sweating, and he had that rare look of someone chewing in agony. Chew on he did, though, with his mouth closed even, until he could swallow it. I guess there's not much you can do at that point. Spitting it out will not provide relief.
Once I knocked myself across the kitchen taking a close-up whiff of some fresh horseradish I'd just dug up and chopped up in the food processor. It felt like a blowtorch reaching up into my sinuses. |

Hilarity ensued.

I love wasabi, but it's an extreme food. |

First time I had it I put WAY too much on a small piece of sushi, of course nobody warned me (I don't blame them), and my face got beat red and my eyes teared up like crazy. |

I like wasabi too. The stuff I had last night was wasabi from HELL!!! About 1/8 of the normal amount I put on each piece of sushi was more than enough I can still feel it in my sinuses. They are very clear but I can feel it!!! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
