I was at a client meeting once which ran into lunchtime. Someone brought in trays of sushi (it was a posh company). I'd never seen wasabi sauce, and assuming it was some kind of green vegetable, took a nice healthy spoonful. I didn't actually cry, but I think steam started coming out of my ears...

Having had my fair share of vindaloo, I took a dollop and had a similar experience. And for years I was told it was horseradish but found out it was a different plant altogether.
