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!

The peas are ok, but the PEANUTS are awesome. Hey DickT there's another good flavor idea for you.
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.
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:
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:
Usually grown in streams, yes. But they make a rock bed specifically for it.Sickmont said:
My uncle came from Md one year for turkey day with a black radish; I had never seen one.

i really like horseradish - the 'real' stuff is much better than say the horsey sauce you get at arbys.
Wasabi is ok in small amounts - anyone else see the movie Jack Ass where the one guy snorts wasabi?? it looked like it hurt like crazy.
I really like different mustards. bought some a while back from the store that was supposed to be a horseradish mustard - its actually a good stone ground mustard, but as far as horsey taste there is none (not that I notice).
and there's something about Chinese Hot Mustard that it doesn't take much to open up your sinuses too.

If I recall correctly, it's the same chemical in both horseraddish and radishes that make them spicey.willard3 said:

I like wasabi but my problem is that it's flavor doesn't go with a lot of foods that I eat. Just had it served so I could try it on Chicken ala King and that doesn't work. I don't like pure horseradish. Goes straight to my head.
