Adventures in Wasabi paste
So, I've got loads of stuff to write about on my LJ but I'm going to put it all aside for a moment for Wasabi paste.

I love sushi but up until recently the only thing I'd add to it was soy sauce. However a few months ago I was feeling adventurous and decided to try out the sachet of Wasabi that usually accompanies the box sets of sushi. Twas a revelation, dear peeps, and I instantly fell in love!

Cut to yesterday and I'm in Tescos. As a treat I buy a box of sushi but as I'm looking around for where the buggers have moved the risotto rice I stumble across a new product they're stocking- tubes of Wasabi paste! Not only is it a virulent green colour compared to the brownish stuff from the sushi boxes but, as I discover later as tears stream down my happy face, it's a lot hotter than the sachet wasabi.

Of course on the carton containing the tube of this green wonder there are, of course, serving suggestions. Goes well with salad or noodles, apparently.

Well, friends, I have decided to see what else wasabi will go with and today I have started with Tesco's own Hot and Spicy sausage from the hot deli.
Chopped into chunks suitable for dipping with wasabi on one side of the dish and mayo on the other.

Verdict? Om nom nom nom!
