Wow! A Mealtime Wake Up Call!

Tweet

I know that horseradish can be hot so I always just put just a little taste on my roast beef or steak for that reason. Too many times I have thought for a split second I was going to die from that blast of heat that sears through your nostrils when you eat too much. Sushi/sashimi lovers will also know that too much Wasabi paste (which contains hot horseradish) can also put a momentary scare in you as you chomp down on that terrifying hot taste on your California or Dynamite Roll--... However, I was unprepared the other day because I had become too relaxed and complacent about the possible effects since most of the horse radish we bought lately was pretty mild and boring. OMG- that was a wake up call! I was about to call 911 when I swallowed that bite and sincerely thought I would never breathe again! That spoonful of super hot horseradish must have been accidentally hiding under my thin cut roast beef from the teaspoon I used adding it to my sandwich! The fire alarm bells should have gone off! But thankfully, God granted me more time-- and I am still alive. I will be very careful from now on to taste a little bit before I chomp down on a 1/2 mouthful of extreme horseradish!
