JUst wanna know why does wasabi has an awful taste??

Question

iv'e tasted sushi the one w/wasabi,i really cant distinguish the taste...i dont know why other people love it....

Answer 1

Wasabi is WONDERFUL! Perhaps you just did not put enough of it on?

Answer 2

'To each his own" as they say.

Answer 3

it tastes great to me- I love the pungency. My favorite snack is wasabi peas

Answer 4

It's a type of horseradish and some folks just can't handle the burn it gives your sinuses. Some people love it. Oddly enough though, it's usually the seaweed or the fish in sushi that turns some people off when it comes to taste... Usually it isn't the taste of wasabi that bothers people, it's the burn.

Work up your tolerance for it!

Answer 5

Who can taste it? It's so freakin' HOT!

Answer 6

Wasabi paste is a mixture of horseradish, mustard with a drop of green food color. This paste is usually what is served with sushi.

Answer 7

Well maybe you had the bad kind of it thats kind of liquid.

I mix it with soy sauce and dip sushi in it. It's good!

Answer 8

i think its weird and spicy. it like green! ewww!? lol.

Answer 9

Well to some it may be an acquired taste!

Anyways, the best way to eat it is to get a little side dish and add some to soy sauce & squeeze a bit of lemon to add some flavor!

Then you have a lovely dipping sauce!!!!

I would never just eat a glob of it on top of sushi. That sounds a little crazy.... =)
