Foodie followup

So, in two earlier posts I professed my desires to eat real wasabi and breadfruit. Well, last night, I got to eat both. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Hon-wasabi: Served in the same paste-blob as regular wasabi paste, the hon-wasabi had a darker green color and more fibrous bits floating around. The taste was remarkably similar to plain ol' wasabi paste, but with noticeable sweet, floral overtones that made the whole thing so fantastic. I almost ate the whole lump.

Breadfruit: The breadfruit was served in a mash, like potatoes. Perhaps this is part of the reason why I thought it tasted the same as sweet potato. Anyway, I continue to hold that breadfruit would taste different if prepared differently, so I need to perform more tests somehow.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
