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!

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 did nearly the same thing – only I thought the pickled ginger they gave me was salmon.

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.

Hahaha; Nice.

Personally I like to mix my wasabi in with my soy sauce so that it intensifies the flavor

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.

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 agree with The Random Poster, also, the spicyness wears off fairly quickly, for me at least.

It might be spicy but it sure clears out the sinuses. Great if you have a cold
