A wasabi version of an ice cream headache. On the plus side, it made my real headache go away.

So what happens for wasabi ice cream? Headsplosion?

I can certainly tell you that throwing large quantities of ice cream down one's gullet generally only compounds the problem, rather than mitigating it.

There is also wasabi ice cream.

I find that extremaly large quantities (V > 2 Tbsp) of wasabi have a slightly unpleasant neurochemical effect on 1-2 hour time scales. After which they tend to restrict their unpleasantness to digestive discomfort alone.

On the BRIGHT side, you will now have very accurate wasabi-based radiometric data on the precise layout of your small intenstinal tract, as well as good measurements of the total time it takes to complete each digestive stage.

Is that real wasabi, or the usual stuff available in N. America?

My guess is the usual stuff. In my experience, the real stuff seems to be milder.

Is this the same as the feeling that the front of your head has been turned into a parabolic reflector that goes back about three inches?

Haven't managed a wasabi headache, although I've managed a wasabi oh-god-my-sinuses.

My mother, who is does not believe in moderation, advises that you have to work through the wasabi headache by consuming more wasabi.

Of course, she'll go through three dishes of the stuff, and believes it will lead to nirvana, so there's that.
