Tavarin, to food in Wasabi, beloved on sushi, linked to "really substantial" boost in memory, Japanese study finds

I assume this applies only to real wasabi, and not the dyed Horseradish most places call wasabi.

Maybe that’s why I remember the first time that I had wasabi. Oh wait, it’s because my mouth was on fire.

Jokes aside, I’m a tiny bit sceptic on the claim due to the funding. Good news for sushi enjoyers if true, though.

GammaGames,

I’ve never met anyone that likes wasabi, so I’m skeptical about every claim in this headline

I like wasabi.

I think the study is probably irreproducible bullshit, but at least I like wasabi.

cwagner,

Now the question is, has anyone here actually had wasabi?

But here’s the rub: That tangy paste served up at nearly all sushi bars — even the ones in Japan — is almost certainly an impostor. Far more common than the real thing is a convincing fraud, usually made of ordinary white horseradish, dyed green.

Japan doesn’t even produce enough to fulfill their own demand, I’m almost certain all Wasabi I’ve ever had was fake.

Horseradish wasabi is good. I’ve also had real wasabi, which is even better.

I like it in small amounts in sushi, plus in a few other dishes (like my “undead raising” lamen. It gets wasabi, black pepper, red pepper and ginger. If whatever you have ends killing you, don’t worry - the mix will make your body move again!)

sagrotan, to world in Kuwait to distribute 100,000 copies of Quran in Sweden after Muslim holy book desecrated at one-man protest

I wish there’s a similar reaction if one woman is raped or degraded, one gay person beaten or oppressed, one child molested, one dictator suppresses a population or one politician decides against environment, reason and humanity and for greed. But no, a fkn book was burnt. What would Mohammed say about that if he’d live today, hm?

rikudou,

He’d say “don’t care, I have 9 year olds to rape”.

The man who burned the quran literally had his family tortured to death by muslims in Iraq

He’s free to burn the garbage as many times as he wises

Weird how all you people don’t even care about that part of this story

soviettaters,

If I had relatives killed by extremist Jews (yeah, yeah, just hear me out), would it be okay for me to promote Nazi ideology and idolize the Holocaust? Hate is wrong in every circumstance.

Would it be okay for an angry Palestinian who had their family killed by Israel to burn a Torah?

Or should that Palestinian respect the feelings of the people who follow the ideology responsible for their families death?

Tuss,

It’s a book. Why does it matter?
