Not too long ago I researched pretty thoroughly how hard it would be to grow wasabi here in Central Pennsylvania without massive interventions in terms of climate. The answer: it isn't possible. Enter wasabini mustard greens, pictured above, which, according to the seed catalogue, tastes "just like wasabi". I don't agree with that-- to me it tastes like mustard greens-- but I admit it does have a different character than the red giant mustard, if only slightly. Available in limited quantities for a limited time.

special today-- no wasabi
