Hot Wasabi Peas?

Have seen the name at supermarket on various different products but hadn't heard of them till came over here.

What are they and what do they taste of or similar to?

Thanks

Well I've never tasted HWP but I imagine she would be pretty sweet

Lol, I did half expect someone to come up a similar response to that!!!

'Hot wasabi peas' are:



I was eating some from a tin like the above when I signed up here and needed a login name.

They are a (addictive!) snack food from Japan; wasabi coated dried peas. Wasabi is a very hot horseradish from Japan - often maded into the fluorescent green paste usually served with sushi. It's not hot like 'chili hot' or 'curry hot', more like hot 'it will scorch your entire sinus cavity and kick you on your ass' hot.

I recommend this brand though. They're great and they have 'heat' (not that hot) and 'super high heat' (mind-blowing). Usually found in Japanese and sometimes Chinese grocery stores. In Victoria they're in regular grocery stores too.




And to sum up:

So you would recommend I have a taste of Hot Wasabi Peas then? I will give it a try!

Thanks for the info

Just wondering now what the best way to eat Hot Wasabi Peas is:

Do you eat them slowly, rolling around your mouth with your tongue or just lap them up quickly. Guess it depends how hot they are!

:scared:

A haiku:

the peas always please
ignite the mouth; inferno
brazen veggie treat

I'm definitely gonna try some of those. Do they sell them in safeway?

lol...wow! I think that about rounds up this thread, I'm off for a cold shower. (cos it is a bit muggy here today)

Hello all,

wasabi paste is made from a plant related to the British horseraddish hence the hotness and tongue sensations. Hope this helps
