I've found Vicks VapORub works pretty good and is not bad on eel.

When I snort the stuff it always clears up the sinuses.

Wasabi is mild.

Real men eat Habeneros. ;-)

I'm not sure about their data, when I eat Wasabi or Horseraddish, they truly clear my sinuses. Love the burn too!

In a related story the FDA plans to regulate sashime as a wasabi delivery device.

The researchers also used a device to objectively measure participants' nasal congestion before and after tasting wasabi.

Among the many interesting aspects of being a scientific researcher, objectively measuring nasal congestion can't really be near the top of the list.

Sushi BUMP!

Wasabi, pickled ginger and sashimi.......yum. Had some last Friday and ate a lot of wasabi. And it did clear my sinuses.

I'll never forget my first experience with wasabi. My wife knew what it was and didn't warn me before I put a nickle size portion in my mouth.

Yeooooooowwwwww!

Wasabi powder is my secret ingredient for Bloody Marys. Although it is not yet widely recognized, I make the world's best.

Why do I have the feeling, somewhere along the line, my tax dollars paid for this study?

All this time I've been eating wasabi, apparently I should have been snorting it.

Isn't this that religion from Saudi Arabia that has been causing all the trouble?

"... lab research shows that wasabi may inhibit the growth of cancer cells in test tubes, prevent platelets from forming blood clots, and may even fight asthma or cavities. And, appropriately for a condiment used to season raw fish, wasabi has antimicrobial properties."

That's because fresh Wasabi straight kills everything it comes into contact with.

I love Wasabi. Awesome on steaks too!

I thought it was avocado dip once, scooped up and ate a ton and almost died.

I like to add wasabi powder to plain old tuna salad for a nice kick, but it's great with sushi. I'm also quite fond of the pickled ginger served with sushi.

Believe it or not there are two great sushi places out here on the prairie ...neither affiliated with a bait shop.
