Poor Oklahomans. I guess that's what they get for trying something different. Perhaps you could replace green tea ice cream with the stuff. |
|
| |
Please don't tell me where you work.I like Wasabi.Anyroad [+] ha, ha, I know some bods I'd like to deliver a tennis ball size of Wasabi to. |
|
| |
Calum, I possibly missed the point of that link? |
|
| |
calum, resident art lover. |
|
| |
[ds]It's a barrel-scrape image search on wasabi, that turned up a nice picture of Wasabi Gal. Cool! |
|
| |
Oh, the point...erm. Cool! |
|
| |
I heard of someone who thought the wasabi in their take home dinner was guacamole (who knows why). Surprise! |
|
| |
Change your name to [jakass]? Whatever. |
|
| |
OK, if you change your name to [UnaBoob]. Aight? |
|
| |
Like I said. Whatever. I'm struggling to see how this is a novel idea. Tricking people into eating wasabi is probably as old as eating wasabi. |
|
| |
The whole idea was done to death in Jackass, unless I'm mistaken? |
|
| |
Get an original idea. This one is baked to graphite. |
|
| |
Good to see you back, in your usual self Ub. |
|
| |
I think I read yesterday, that what is sold in the US as wasabi paste, is more times than not, a combo of a wee bit of wasabi, and mostly horseradish.
(UnaBooba, I like!) |
|

//...done to death in Jackass// |
|
| |
I believe they were snorting lines of powdered wasabi for some reason. |
|
| |
//Tricking people into eating wasabi ...// |
|
| |
Perhaps you've been victimized by this type of prank before? |
|
| |
[bliss] Yep. I've never come across the horseradish kind in an actual sushi restaurant, but the stuff you buy in grocery stores is usually mostly horseradish. Go to asian markets if you want the real stuff (which you do - there's quite a difference). |

Word for the day: odynophagia |

| |
No, [jaksplat], not victimised. I happen to eat a lot af Japanese food, both at home and when out dining. I like wasabi. |
|
| |
In four years I seem to recall roughly 20 ideas at the 'bakery that involve tricking people into eating wasabi. It's all a little tedious. |
|
| |
If you don't want to suffer the "tears" effect, for which wasabi is famous then don't breathe out through your nose while there is any in your mouth. Then you can enjoy the taste, without the pain. |
|
| |
Like I said. Baked, unoriginal. |
|
| |
That was YOU???(original post) bastard. |
|
| |
[UB}You've been here longer than me, so I''ll take your word for it. Even though my search of the site for the word wasabi didn't turn up anything that I felt was similar. |
|
| |
Yeah. I guess we lost a lot of that sort of thing in the crash. I know that some of them were the work of people whose accounts didn't last very long. |
|
| |
Origins of Wasabi? It was tested on Giant Pandas before deemed fit for human consumption. Some of those little guys lost their minds in the process. Boycott Wasabi! |
|
| |
Ahem .. pandas lost their minds from having sex with pandas. |
|
| |
Pandas live in China. Wasabi is grown in Japan. |
|
| |
Your Geography is correct UnaBubba. Wasabi is grown in Japan as you correctly state, yet is often exported these days. By way of example - do you live in Japan? I myself do not, and nor have I ever been fortunate enough to visit that country, yet like the Chinese Pandas have sampled this most potent of condiments (by the way whats up with that - haven't the Japanese heard of ketchup?) |
|
| |
Not only have they heard of ketchup, but they probably know that the name is derived from Kecap, or Ketsiap (which is a Chinese sauce made from pickled fish). The name has since evolved, in Asia, to mean sauce in many countries. |
|
| |
Ketchup (the weak, sweet sauce made from tomatoes, and originally developed in the US inthe early to mid 1800s) is a vile, horrid concoction. I don't allow it in my home. |
|
| |
what, you mean the Japanese IMPORTED ketchup then? I would never have thought such a thing was possible :-) |
|
| |
Good for you with the ketchup ban, can't stand the stuff either. |
|
| |
I salute your etymological knowledge of east - Asian foodstuff origins, but I do doubt that in actuality many Japanese are in fact as you state, aware of this interesting and esoteric condiment based fact, as they pour it over their fries. |

thanks Bubba, youre the best |
