About 25 years ago I took a client from Mexico to a sushi bar in LA for lunch. It was his first time with sushi and, before I could stop him, he dug into the wasbi thinking it was avacado. Keep in mind, this was guy that had been eating spicy foods all his life. He drank about 3 glasses of water and still was 'wheezing' twenty minutes later. The good part was that he didn't have the strength to turn down my proposal. He must have been 'distracted'.
