First time eating sushi. Covered the entire California roll in Wasabi. My family decided not to warn me and get some amusement out of it. This was back when I was just starting to try new foods, and so my strategy was to just pop it in as fast as possible and start chewing. And I did just that. As soon as it made contact, I felt a rush of heat go through my mouth. I was still on autopilot, so I got about 3 chews in. Each one felt like I was nawing on the end of a taser. Spat it out and my face felt like it melting. Tears were flooding frim my eyes. They felt so cool against my red skin, that they gave my cheeks a burning sensation similar to frostbite. My mouth felt like I had just used battery acid as mouthwash. I was disoriented by the strength of the wasabi, and I searched frantically for my water. I finally found it and began pouring it down my throat. This asperated my throat, causing me to gag. So I just sat there choking on my own throat, while my family laughed at me.
