Wasabi
Wasabi - yum! I've only had real wasabi once or twice. The stuff you get in most Sushi restaurants is not real wasabi; it's a paste made from horseradish and mustard, died green. It's not bad, but it's still not the real deal.
So - wasabi my ninja? Get it?
wa·sa·bi [wah-suh-bee] n. a very pungent green Japanese condiment made from the root of the herb Eutrema wasabi
Synonyms: none, but wasabi tastes and causes your nasal passage to react similar to horseradish and mustard
Etymology: herb root used in cooking, 1903, from Japanese.
Wow. What a boring etymology. However, now I'm hungry.
