spicy food?

[KingZ]

Come to my house and I'll prove it.

Can I come to your house and eat your spicy Mexican food? I missed you when I went to see Jiggly Giggly.

Misombra's got good eats at her house. I know this first-hand.

That's why they powder it and can it. Add water, stir until it's a paste, then let it sit for a little while before eating... 10-15 minutes usually. It IS expensive if you buy a lot, but a tiny can of the stuff is only a few bucks and lasts quite a while as you only use about a half a teaspoon to make paste at a time.

No, HIA. That's not real wasabi. The fake stuff is the powder. You can't keep the real stuff. You can buy it as a paste, apparently, but it quickly disappears once opened.

For our local chemist's interest (DM), the volatile is an isothiocyanate that comes from the hydrolysis of thioglucosides by an enzyme in the rhizome of the plant.

You can buy 100% real wasabi in a can, powdered. Costs about $10 for a 50 gram can. Bet me.

I use raw habanero peppers as toilet paper.

That can't be the same as the fresh stuff. The process of grating the root releases the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction I just mentioned. Unless they do something like snap-freeze the root and pulverize it (and remove the water). Hmm.

This reminds me....I also like hot mustard. It's not spicy, but it has a slow burn like wasabi, which is probably why they add it in. God, hot mustard is so good on a nice home-cooked ham.

I can handle it but in moderate amount of spice. But I can't tolerate spicy food like Thai food its really really hot.
