If you like peas, you might also like edamame (ed-a-ma-may), just a fancy word for soybeans. I first had it as an appetizer at a sushi restaurant, but you can get it at grocery stores too, usually with the frozen veggies. They look like peas, sold right in the shell (just don't eat the shell!) I put a half cup or so in a bowl, splash of water, and microwave for 2 minutes. You can eat them warm, or sometimes I take them the next day for a snack at work and eat them cold. The consistency is like peas but they have a lot of protein.
