Spices and Gadgets

Checking out spices and herbs and kitchen gadgets. One of our discussions was on spices, herbs and kitchen gadgets. So I started on a mission to find some different information on all. First I came across the root often used in Japanese cooking, wasabi. The taste is similar to horseradish and it is often used as a condiment or ingredient in sushi, sashimi and soups. In most recopies the root is grated. A sharkskin Wasabi grater is the kitchen gadget I found interesting the sharkskin surface pulverizes the root while grating.
