Doesn’t happen to me

No fair! I can only eat so much before I get a very particular nauseous feeling that's usually only associated with popcorn.

I hate wasabi. I know, heresy.

I can't seem to taste wasabi - at least, what passes for wasabi at major restaurants. My son, who takes pride in being able to eat just about any kind of hot pepper, was gagging at the heat of wasabi at a restaurant once. I can't abide any kind of chili or pepper, and won't even eat bell peppers if I can help it. I know, they're not hot, I just don't care for their acidic, metallic taste. So I said, Pass me the wasabi and tried a tiny drop. Could not taste anything. I ended up eating huge dollops of it, shrug, no reaction, while my son was freaking out. He couldn't eat it at all. Same with horseradish. It has a pleasant, mild vegetal flavor to me, but that's it. So explain that.
