Googling "Japanese horseradish" generates 112,000 entries seemingly spelt "wasabi" - doubtless someone will explain whether "e" or "i".

Have a look at www.wasabia.com if you have nothing better to do........ BTW.  Marmite is one of the most wonderful foods known to man Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me 3 times and you can see a statistical tendency    Report
