Day 290 Jan. 23, 2013

Wasabi Peanuts... the way I want them!

In the past, I've tried eating some wasabi coated peas - and they came with mixed reactions for me. You see, I like the feel of wasabi when it gives me that  (how does one diescribe the feeling?) sinus kick... a kick I feel when I eat sashimi and my kikoman is nearly brown with the wasabi.

Alas, these experiences fall short, so I try to eat more at the same time, hoping that numbers would somehow bring the desired effect.

This bottle filled with wasabi-coated peanuts was actually an accidental find, in a purely serendipity manner. I asked Barbie if she wanted to look into a Japanese (or Korean) store on the way home - see if we could find some dried olives (we did!), but as we were about to pay for our stuff, Barbie found this bottle of wasabi peanuts. We both thought about whether we would try this out, and our adventurous parts trumped our conservative ones, hence we bought it.

One thing I can say, after trying these peanuts out, is that they give a great wasabi? Just one peanut is enough to give that sinus kick... and yes, I even try three a time... and for a few seconds, I almost regret the action while my sinuses are being kicked in overdrive.
