But The Fake Stuff Does The Job, So No Harm, No Foul
-
Everything You Know is Wrong: So, you like sushi? You know that green spicy stuff that you get along with the ginger and soy sauce with it? What's it called? Wrong! What most American sushi joints serve is not real wasabi. Real wasabi comes from the stem of the wasabi plant. You haven't eaten it, most likely. That green stuff? Dyed horseradish and mustard-based paste. The real thing is too rare to be sold with supermarket California rolls. But if you think you'd get the real thing in Japan, most of theirs is the fake stuff, too. And it's been this way for a very long time. (Washington Post)
