Wasabi and pepper are two entirely different kinds of heat. I can also handle a lot of the pungent heat of mustard, horseradish and wasabi, but I prefer the spice from capsaicin and therefore have a higher tolerance to it, to the point that I no longer even find jalapenos spicy.
As an entertaining trick for co-workers, I give one of them a toothpick with a small amount of
this heavenly condiment on it, and then eat a tablespoon of it while they writhe in pain. Then walk away without drinking anything.
I am unnatural!
Out of all the super hot peppers, the Scotch Bonnet is by far the best tasting. That sauce I linked to, in particular, has a very smooth, buttery flavour that goes great with sauteed vegetables and fried chicken, as well as pasta.
