I have developed a fondness for a very strange item, considering that I am not a fan of spicy food. I am lovin' me some wasabi peas. My first contact was in the snack shop at work, where they have several bulk snack mixes. One of those has wasabi peas in them. I generally am not particularly fond of having spicy food. My opinion always has been"why would I want to eat something that makes my mouth burn and makes me sweat and my nose run and my face get all red?"
However, these little gems are just small enough and have just enough spice that I am really enjoying them. When I first ate them, I called them wasabi balls, because I didn't know what they were exactly. When I found out they were peas with wasabi on them, I said "they can't be peas - I don't like peas!"
Well, they are peas and I do like them. I bought them at the grocery today along with some sesame stix and made up my own simple little mix. By the way - 55 wasabi peas is 130 calories. Not too bad!!
