most stuff passed off as wasabi in the uk market such as that with supermarket or cafe sushi is horseradish dyed green.
the real thing can be got as mentioned here ,grown or got in tubes like toothpaste but with calligraphy labels from specialist japanese food or world of spice shops .

real is quite interesting and best used in moderation,i can eat most raw chillis (nagas and scotch bonnets are a bit hot) but wasabi is best in tiny amounts

ps wasabi beetroot soup was not popular with the family

.perhaps i overdid the wasabi.

I think it's a quite different set of receptors that detect horseradish/wasabi/mustard hot from chilli. I like quite hot curry, whereas Sean is a complete wimp, but we are the other way round on wasabi.

This firm was on countryfile a while back (watch vid for episode) I buy wasabi(flavour) peanuts from the Chinese wholesalers. Is funny to offer them round without warning what flavour they are.

a tiny bit with still twitching sashami is excellent and it does go well with veg/rice based sushi. if making sushi rolls the required smear is about 5 mm wide and so thin you almost cant see it ,if folk want more a peanut sized blob on a plate will be plenty for several rolls.

Sushi is fabulous, with or without wasabi, but you get what you deserve if you eat fish.
