Got some wasabi in Anchorage, but not here.

Well, they are both mustard.  Next time you go into a Chinese restaurant get an
egg-roll and use the yeller dipping sauce.  It's a little different than
ballpark mustard as you've probably noticed.  May be why mustard was used
during WWI in the form of "Mustard Gas".

Work really well for melons.

Hot Wheat.  Looking on the internet I found some.  Unfortunately it appears the
minimum order would be 3X20oz packages (the other options are for 6 or 12,
although I did some mention of 40lbs).  Who knows what the shipping would be
once I leave America and go back to Alaska (almost all places charge additional
for being outside of the contiguous states, if they'll ship at all).  Do you
know how long it would take me to go through 60oz of cereal?  Hmmm...lets see,
I'm 68 so I suppose it could go into my estate...
