I had my first ever sushi; tuna, salmon and halibut, it was very good. The pickled ginger was wonderful. I ate a good sized teaspoon of wasabi, that was a mistake.

Annie, wasabi is great on grilled bloody beef too.
It was very good. Eating an entire spoonful alone may have been a mistake but who's to say. There is another great sushi joint in LA my son swears by so there we go!

While working in Tokyo I met a zero pilot that would sit and eat wasabi by the spoon fulls.
I tried some about the size of a BB.
That was more than enough for me.
Never again.

Think You've Been Eating Wasabi All This Time? Think Again.
Bamboozled.
By Alison Spiegel
Wasabi: you know it well, or so you think. Chances are, however, you've never actually eaten real wasabi, or at least not very often. This is because most of the wasabi served outside of Japan is a mixture of horseradish, mustard ...and food coloring. Even in Japan, the demand for real wasabi is so high that you'll often find the horseradish mixture instead, with little, if any, real wasabi mixed in...

You all just reminded me that soon it's "Fiesta Europa" in Antwerp, 5 days where all sorts of European delicacies, some alcoholic and others not, are on sale at an open air market with a party atmosphere.
There's usually a delectable Scottish lass there selling some delicious "artisanal" hot sauces made in the UK. Sure, a bit pricey but one is right on the edge of my limits, meaning it's somewhere between "Chernobyl" and "Hiroshima" and is perfect for my diabetic needs as She can't handle the spicy food that well so I just need a drop of this Wow-Wow Sauce, and I don't mean Kitchiner's version, to bring the heat up to "Windscale" levels without there being an overdose of sugars.
They have a beef marinade sauce which also just needs a small amount to get the flavours out, so I'm looking forward to going for that alone.
It's moved this year to what I assume is a bigger area, should be some lovely food and drink available and hopefully some decent coffee at decent prices.

haven't been in a church in 35 years. for some reason i don't get invited to weddings or funerals.
might be because my idea of dressing up is ironing a pair of khakis and finding a polo that doesn't have a stain on it.

when i was a kid i worked at a Chinese restaurant, that was owned and run by a real Chinsese family. they were nice to us all, and fed us every day, but it wasn't food off the menu, it was weird shit they really ate. i got introduced to wasabi when i saw them putting it on their food. they were slopping it on, so i did too. that was the first and last time i ever ate wasabi. it tastes like melted plastic smells....for hours, and feels about the same in my stomach

Wife's aunt died over the weekend. 89 years old. Also, she was the mom of the guy who introduced me to my wife (cousin-in-law?) so I actually knew her before I met my wife as I knew all of her kids.
So the afternoon sucked.
Got to see some people I hadn't seen in 30 years, and some I hadn't seen for a few years. That was nice but it still sucked.
And I must say I've aged well compared to some of my wife's relatives and old friends who were there. But it still sucked.
