Immune to wasabi?!
 

been eatin' ALOT of shrimp and wasabi lately.... (and eggrolls too).... and I just finished a batch.... but I noticed that now I gotta eat huge globs of the stuff to get it to rip my face off like it should...... how is this possible???

you are building up a tolerence to it, my good man

you must turn it up a notch


this is why I used to drop 5 hits, instead of just one ;)

Hey AMP -- How good is the Japanese food in Hawai'i? How many restaurants are there by square mile? How much money does the average Sushi Deluxe go for ($16 here)? I gotta have answers to these questions for next month as sushi is the best god-damn food in the world.

But............ I do not like spicey foods thus I do not like wasabi. I think it ruins the taste of the fish :) Just a tad of soy sauce for my sushi ;)

i dont know about maui but sushi places in oahu are like starbucks. one on every corner.

I think so!
I got dared to eat a TON of that stuff a month back and didn't even flinch.

Damn I love wasabi. Yeah I noticed it too, that after a while, you need much more to get the tears rolling

you should watch chinese ppl eat that stuff
they have some sushi with their wasabi fuc*ing funny,

how do i know?...trust me i know :Graucho

I married Chinese...

What we do around our house is simple. We keep 30+
kinds of chilis around. We just mixup what we use so
that we never build a full tolerance to any 1 kind.

Also if you want "KICK" make sure that you are not
diluting it in your mouth with sugar. Instead of a Coke,
get an unsweetened ice tea with your sushi.

How are the prices?

oh man i love wasabi! Thought I was the only one eating gobs of it :) But yeah you do develop a tolerance for it, just gotta step it up or try another sushi place. Wasabi and chile both vary a lot.. I've noticed like 4X difference in the sushi bars I've been to. The belief is that wasabi kills any bacteria in raw fish, so eat it up!

Try ordering your sushi chef a beer and ask for the good stuff, they might make it fresh for you.

Chile heads unite! :winkwink:

Sure thats real wasabi? I used to think I was immune to it because I'd been using the stuff they sell to us round-eye's in grocery stores.

Then I plastered my usual big dollop on top of a tuna roll in a Japantown restaurant. My head almost exploded :feels-hot

yeah! That's what I'm lookin' for! :Graucho


eru: not real sure man.... haven't been to any yet.... just been gettin' the grocery store wasabi.... but there are quite a few sushi places here.....

didnt even flinch, huh?

Japanese food is nasty :throwup

It's also the main reason why Japan is populated by 5' tall males.

Well... maybe I threw up 20 minutes later...

but that was bad planning on my part ~ full stomach with a couple ounces of wasabi on top, not smart.

The truth comes out! :1orglaugh


I never thought about it til you said it Amp but you are right! It takes way more of that stuff to start breathing fire than it used to.

dont even put down sushi___every 2 weeks my buds and i go sushi binging...and wasabi is awesome, you mix it in with soy sauce...mmm..*fetches some leftover eel*

I'm having sushi for dinner tonight -- in about 10 minutes -- can't wait ;)

Sushi is like heroin, you get addicted to it. I remember when my friend took me to a sushi place, I was disgusted even looking at it, but when I tried it and now I can't get enough of it.

I love Japanese food but can't stand wasabi. I can eat hot peppers and other spicy things but not wasabi.
My girlfriend can eat spoonfuls of the stuff though.

wwaaaassssaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?????????!!!!!!!!

There is Japanese food that isn't raw and tastes good. I love their Terraki chicken.

Speaking of Wasabi, Try out Wasbi mashed potates, dop a tabespoon of Wasabi when mixing up the mashed potates.....

Drop some tahini - ginger portabello mushrooms on top of the wasabi mashed potates. Really nice Vegan meal and I am not veg at all, but, the Mrs is. Really Really good..............

WTF -- I go to the restaurant and order sushi deluxe w/ no wasabi yet they put it on. They got no tip :)

Yeah, apply it to your other mucous membranes.

Pull a Steve O and snort it :Graucho

God I love how wasabi makes your nose feel like it's being sucked into the back of your skull :xomunch

Anybody here ever had a "rainbow roll"? It's a california roll with pieces of tuna, salmon, avacado, and some yellow-tail on top of it...oh my gawd it is SOOO good!!

yum yum. :thumbsup
