Sushi?It’s my favourite food! (I can never have too much wasabi.)

Stupid nuts like that don’t know how to eat wasabi. Imagine mistaking it for guacamole! It’s far too solid and grainy.

(Oh, for the smell of a fresh green wasabi root…)

It makes very much sense.

When my youngest granddaughter, A., was five, her mom had her in a sushi bar. She thought her mom’s wasabi was green-tea ice cream and stole a big mouthful.

I tried wasabi once never again ;(

It’ll sure clear up your sinuses.

My husband mistook Chinese mustard for plain old French’s, and spread an egg roll top to bottom with the stuff. It was like one of those cartoon charactors where the eyes pop in and out. Poor soul! We all felt sorry for him but couldn’t stop laughing long enough to help.

My grandfather did that with taco sauce. Thought it was ketchup….he wasn’t smiling. :)

Mmmm, sushi! And wasabi and of course Sriracha!! Yum!

Ever since man discovered fire, there has been no good reason to eat raw fish.

Actually, sushi doesn’t necessarily have to have fish in it, raw or otherwise, any more than a burrito needs meat.

Except that it is delicious. Have never developed a taste for wasabi, but grated ginger serves well.

Anyone who dines in a sushi restaurant (Japanese), and thinks they would serve guacamole (a mexican sauce) as a side, deserves to have his stupid mouth torched.

I told my friend it was lime sherbet to cleanse his palate. We did that kind of stuff to each other…

ha, he pulled a Mater

Oh, Robb must have been there when I did the same stupid thing. I certainly learned my lesson!!!

It happened to the father of a friend, years ago. His very first time in a Japanese restaurant. His last as well.

Wasabi mad the Nanny (Fran Drescher) speak normally for a few seconds.

I like the wasabi coated peas.

Thanks for so many reactions to this strip! It is based on a true event . Shout-out (literally) to my buddy “D.D.”!!

Francis Lapeyre: Yeah, all ten of them! (the eight standard equipment and two more they will open for you)

Well… this has happened to me. Did not mistake it for guacamole, but being green I thought it would be harmless… spend the next few minutes literally scrapping it off my tongue with a knife.

The best way to deal with wasabi burn – and any other too hot food for that matter – is with yoghurt if it is available, or sugar. Water just spreads the fire.
