     How come there has been no mention so far
of Wasabi - Japanese green horseradish?  You
may not die from it, but in sufficient quantities
it can blow your head off.  The pleasant thing
about it is 1) Once you swallow it it is gone.
You don't suffer for hours with burning lips and
mouth. 2) Your tastebuds don't become permanently
impaired with continual indulging and 3) The
Japanese food it is served with is much lighter
than Mexican or Indian.  (Of course if you don't
like raw fish, etc. you may be out of luck.
