      Thought you were going to get me to confess a guilty secret pleasure Nicos! Never tasted it, never mind tried to grow it

          Interestingly if you read the article, most of us have never tasted "real" wasabi, over 90% of what's served is fake, made of horseradish mustard and colouring

            My niece and her husband asked me to grow it, I must admit I did not know what it was or what it looked like never mind growing conditions. I'll do a bit of research into it and give it a try, not next season but maybe the following.

              I luurve horseradish and its dead easy to grow (can become a pernicious weed in fact!) Wasabi is just like a strong peppery cabbage to me! I don't mind eating it but don't think I would bother growing it.

                Nope - not even tempted by it.
                Mustard is too much for me, horseradish is off the scale, and those little dollops of greenstuff purporting to be wasabi are just too burny to be worth eating, let alone growing..

                  Here's an alternative business idea that may be easier to "grow" BBC News - Austria's only snail farmer
                  Snail livers - anyone?

                        I picked my first horseradish today. Half of it is now in the freezer and the other half is in this oil in the fridge. I'm sure the disposable latex gloves were starting to dissolve as I was grating.

                          I once bought wasabi coated peanuts as I'd never tried them before. Like normal a poured a huge handful out and shoved them into my mouth... VERY big mistake.
                          I ended up coughing, spluttering and projectile spitting them out (sorry to anybody who has a nervous disposition) all over the wall.
                          It looked like I had bought a piece of modern art from the Saachi gallery.
                          And to add insult to injury I like hot and spicy but that.......

                            I tried them too - never again. No wonder they were being sold off cheaply

                              I took one look at the growing instructions and all the trouble it needed and thought, 'What's wrong with horse radish, that grows itself?
