Food Question

[doubleonad]

For those of you who are more familiar with Japenese food than I:
I am looking to purchase some wasabi. Is there any particular type or brand that I should look for, or is it all pretty much the same?
What about pickled ginger?

My router is not supported That sucks... Maybe you could go to a McDonald's that has wifi access to get online and get your code in the meantime.

Yeah, I was going to suggest that, but you beat me to the food advice. Darn.

Try to avoid the pre-mixed wasabi in the tubes. They are almost always very foul. It's better to get the powdered wasabi in the little cans and mix it yourself. I know one of the brands at Fujiya Market has english instructions. Any brand of powdered wasabi is good. I've not found a bad one yet.

As for pickled ginger, I tend to go for the very pink stuff. The pinker the ginger, the sweeter it is. If you like more mild ginger, go for the golden kind. Always chill it before serving. It's never in the refridgerated foods, and it claims it can be served at room temperature, but it Liiiies.

Hope this helps! :)

I think I dug up the real reason Dano wants those items. He wants to do his own Budweiser commercials. "WUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABI!"
