True story. In 1984 I was working at a popular hot tub place near Stanford University. The owners made a fortune on it. In fact my boss bought a Masarati to tool around in. Anyways they put a Sushi bar in. I think Sushi was just getting popular at the time. I had no interest in eating sushi but my coworkers kept pestering me to try it.
I bought a little plate with salmon skin rolls and it had ginger and a dollop of some green stuff to dip the sushi in. I assumed the green stuff was guacamole and dipped the sushi in it and got a big piece of the green stuff.
Obviously it was not guacamole and I stuffed it in my mouth! I think it was the hottest thing I ever had in my life. I choked and tears were running down my cheeks. It burned all the way up into my nose. Wow, I’ll never forget that.
