Wasabi

What is Wasabi?

[k8tkoo]

I think it's like a kind of Japanese horseradish - incredibly hot!

It's the stuff Steve-O snorts through his nose in Jackass the Movie. Very funny!! It is extremely hot, think a vindaloo but Japanese!!

Technically it's japanese horseradish, served ground up into a green paste, but most of the stuff you get at sushi restaurants is regular horseradish, with maybe a little wasabi plus green food coloring to make it look like real wasabi. You put it in sushi, and dissolve it in soy sauce for dipping the sushi in.
