"Hello ladies" said the blind man as he passed the fish market.........

Yeah, that's teh stuff. Man, I like it but hate having to use it on raw fish. Fish just has to be cooked. I'll bet wasabi would be good with celery or bell pepper slices.

Its a very efficient nasal decongestant.... :eek:

Actually it is not. http://preventdisease.com/news/articles/wasabi_clears_sinuses_think_again.shtml

I try to consume small amounts of that stuff because it is hot in a really weird way. Don't get me wrong. I love hot stuff and can take just about anything but it's like having a strong chemical pumped through the sinuses.

Coupla decades ago I paid for that pleasure, but it was a white powder. Costs a lot more than the green paste from hell. Might be interesting to lay a couple of lines of green paste on the table. "D-u-u-u-u-de, what a r--u--u--u--sh!"

first time I had it and I way misjudged its potency....and put on a pea sized wad........woooooaaahahhhooooo

Far , far more effective than vicks vaporub... :eek:


You only make THAT mistake once in your life.

I just had Sushi today...

The way to eat the stuff, and correctly use the wassabi is to put a blob of wassabi into a small tray in a couple teaspoonsfull of soys sauce, that usually comes with the sushi, and mix it all together until the wassabi is thoroughly dissolved in the soya sauce. Then, dip each peice of sushi into this mixture before you eat it. It improves the taste of the sushi 100% and allows you to moderate the dose of wassabi.
Both are an acquired taste. I like sushi so much better now than when I first tried it in 1993 when I first moved here from the prairies.

There are advantages to living in a multicultural city, and the best one is the variety of foods and restaraunts.

Still, I agree about the Chickens Feet that were referred to at the start of this thread. That is a pretty extreme Dim Sum dish. I have tried it - what is done is that you are supposed to suck the marrow out of the chickens feet, not actually eat the feet. Still, I can not get used to that, and pass that dish over when I go out for Dim Sum with friends. Don't label all Dim Sum as crap just because someone tried to make you suck a couple of Roosters Feet. Some of the dishes are quite tasty.

:D EVIL!

I would like to see what a bottle of wasabi gas would do attached to some ricer's civic....

Maybe more boost than nitrious? :D

I dunno, sushi always seemed so effete and trendy,completely opposite the Italian and Portuguese food I so enjoy cooking and eating.

Really though,how can one compare a bit of sushi with,say a good piece of fresh roughie,lightly breaded and baked at 325,served atop a bed of well peeled broccoli rabe and spinach sauteed in garlic and oil,topped with shaved pecorino romano with a light spreading of bruschetta atop it all?

Now that's good eatin'!!!

I like to cook and eat too but I think I would rather sit down to a meal of hickory smoked hog ribs, baked beans, and corn bread washed down with cold beer served in frosted mugs.

Sounds tasty. Really!

By the way, what do you weigh?

I used to weigh 190. I'm 5' 9". Now I weigh a lean 170.

Just playin' wit cha.

5'9" 170 lbs is fit.
