Novacastrian said:Hey Pat wasabi aint that bad mate, an initial burn like no other (try exhaling through your nose with a mouth full!) but the heat only lasts a couple of seconds. Great flavour i reckon.

GrumpyBear said:i looooove pickled ginger... i've never actually tried horseradish...
wobble said:Wasabi peas are ok...
pepperfever said:Mustard is sort of like peppers, I have to try different ones to see what I like...this is actually the lowest on mustard I've been for long time. In rural Minnesota it's hard to find wasabi but I'm still looking.
JayT said:The peas are ok, but the PEANUTS are awesome. Hey DickT there's another good flavor idea for you.
That is 100% true. "Western" Wasabi is just horseradish and green food coloring. There's no wasabi in it. The real stuff tastes alot different.JayT said:You have both probably tried it if you have ever had wasabi in the U.S. I heard somewhere that 90% or more of what is passed off as wasabi is actually horseradish with green food coloring. I too like real Wasabi much better IGG. Pickled ginger, good soy sauce, lots of wasabi and a little srirachi with some good sushi... YUMMMM!
Correct on that. It's usually 3 years to get a ripe root. They generally retail for $13 a root, that's why no one ever caries it.willard3 said:Potawie:
Wasabi takes a long time to grow. Hydro works the berries for wasabi, but the crop cycle is measured in years, not days.
Big money if you grow enough.
QuadShotz said:WA State does grow wasabi, but I'm not about to try growing it. Tooo much hassle and expense.
Usually grown in streams, yes. But they make a rock bed specifically for it.Sickmont said:Don't they grow it on creeksides and the likes?
If I recall correctly, it's the same chemical in both horseraddish and radishes that make them spicey.willard3 said:My uncle came from Md one year for turkey day with a black radish; I had never seen one.
They'll give you religion just like fresh horsaradish and wasabi: hot and quick.
