Actually soy sauce and wasabi both work really well with chocolate. Just as you have chocolate-covered salt caramels (Obama's favorite) from Seattle and chocolate-infused chile sauces from Mexico, the combination of salty/spicy and sweet is found in many cultures.

Create whatever chocolate you like, I'd still settle for my favourites, kit-kat & cadbury....:)

"You go abroad to taste foreign food and culture" haha the UK isn't famous for appreciation of food... its just fuel for most... taste social enjoying of food is not so important (relatively speaking)

wasabi ganache, I tried one of those inventions. Weirdly sweet. But you know whatthey say, eat choclate with at least 70% cacao.

Why?

Maybe he doesn't want to take responsibility for the chocabuse.

Yuzu and natto would make sense with chocolate. Wasabi? Nope.

I am still not sure if wasabi shouldn’t be covered by the Geneva convention as a chemical weapon.

Yuzu, just about. Wasabi, never.

Natto doesn't make sense with anything.

yuzu - yes! I have tried Yuzu chocolate in Japan... Wasabi and Natto...personally, no. But I guess everyone is different!

London has the widest selction and highest quality restaurants in the world, but I will grant you, for many, their palate never develops beyond that of an adolescent's.

cost is a major factor as well. most people aren't russian oligarchs. one wonderful thing about eating in japan is that it is affordable to eat out modestly. sadly not true in the uk where eating out is rarely more than for special occasions. so people cook at home, often poorly
