Yeah… the first time I had sushi…
Me: “Oh, what is this green stuff?”
Evil person: “It’s called wasabi. It’s a condiment of sorts. You put that on top of the sushi.”
Me: “Ohhggggkkkrkrjhjdrtfhtrbdrth!!!!!!!!”
Also, I met someone at NEWW that asked if I ever made a comic about wasabi. I said I wrote one years ago but never drew it… I hope it was worth the wait. 
Most wasabi you get in restaurants is just a paste of horseradish, mustard seeds, and food coloring; an imitation. That’s why it never seems all that hot in the cheap restaurants.
Also, my mom was eating green tea ice cream in a sushi restaurant and the lady next to her said “… You must REALLY like Wasabi!”
So uh… yeah.
I thought it was pudding the first time I had it… Mmmm, if anyone in the restaurant had been asleep before that first bite, they certainly weren’t after.
Hahaha; Nice.
Personally I like to mix my wasabi in with my soy sauce so that it intensifies the flavor
hmmm, hey chris, have you ever tryed wasabi gum?
and that just game me a idea for a biff comic, bacon gum
I remember a while back, I was eating in a restaurant when some older ladies walked in and sat at a table behind me. I was never fond of wasabi and they didn’t know what it was. They each took a spoonful of the wasabi and ate it. Their reaction was hilarious.
I did nearly the same thing – only I thought the pickled ginger they gave me was salmon.
I hate the ginger, but the wasabi is great.
I love the wasabi spice though, because unlike mexican peppers, the pain is like “HOLYWHATTHEINTHENAMEOFTHEoh. My sinuses are clear. That wasn’t wholly unpleasant.”
I have a theory, I can’t have ‘too much’ wasabi in hindsight.
I had this happen once. We were at a Chinese restaurant that served green-tea-flavoured ice cream, and I got up to use the restroom. The food had arrived while I was gone, and when I got back I saw small dishes filled with green stuff and assumed it was a Chinese custom to eat dessert first…
BURNING PAIN!
Yeah I remember my first encounter with Wasabi all too well. Young girl takes a spoonful and pops it into her mouth, there was a three second stun period before all hell broke loose.
i think the spiciest thing i have ever tasted would be flaming hot monster munch.
probably due to my very fussy diet of no sauces, no melted cheese, and lots of other stuff.
I was rather suspicious of it since it was also my first time eating sushi and only took a very small bite. it still burned my mouth fromthe inside out. i then watched in horror as my friend from England sat next to me and put nearly half of it on one of his rolls he put the whole thing in his mouth. i waited for something horrible to happen like spontanous combustion or at least a lot of cursing. he just looked at me and said “What?” He paid for my sushi tho sense i couldn’t taste it. He got abnormaly excited when we went back to my house and i handed him one of those red plastic Dole cups when he said he was thirsty. Apparently in England they only have the blue ones and he thought the red ones were only used in movies…
