Wasabi

I have just found a new type of rice cracker.  They're called Peckish and have some brilliant flavours.  At the moment I'm dealing with crackers that actually taste like the flavour they say they're meant to be...wasabi.  For those of you that haven't had wasabi before you really should try it.  The wasabi root is part of the horseradish family and hence has that same sort of hot mustard effect of hitting the top of your nose and giving a not dissimilar feeling to when you bite in to an ice-cream and get a quick cold headache.

One of my favourite scenes in a movie is actually from a French movie called 'WASABI'.  It has Jean Reno as the main protagonist where he literally devours a complete plate of wasabi with none of the usual reactions...his partner cannot believe and decides to give it a go...almost choking in the process with his eyes watering!  So, anyway, live a little.  Enter into the realm of culinary adventure if you haven't already, and for those of you that have - give these crackers a go.
