Sadly, this was my first experience with wasabi. I didn't know what it was, but thought since it was green, that it was avocado-based. I was on a first date with this chick. I took what I believed at the time to be a "small" spoonful and popped it into my mouth directly. I am remarkably good at maintaining my composure under such duress, but that was a lot to handle. You can't hide the sweat and tears behind a smile, although I tried. To this day, I can't do wasabi. My body decided it was poison at that moment and I'm very sensitive to the flavor.
