who here wasabi peas, and yes I know it's not real wasabi

>>9354844
when I buy them I eat them until I burn my taste buds out and they're not spicy anymore, so I only get them like 2 times a year

>>9354844
I buy a big tin every couple of years as I develop a nostalgia fueled craving. Then the first bite is great, and every subsequent bite is less and less appealing until I eventually just stop eating them and they sit there on my shelf until I eventually throw them out.

Good stuff though. I just get bored of them quickly as a snack and they never really mesh with stuff I normally drink or eat.

how is it not real wasabi?

>yes I know it's not real wasabi

Fake wasabi manufactured in a lab, yo

Horseradish, iirc

pretty good snack with beer

Meh they're ok. Bit too crunchy for me, but love me some wasabi flavored peanuts

I find it hard to believe that the Wasabi plant will not/cannot grow anywhere else besides those certain regions of Japan. There has to be similar ideals in similar climatic zones! Even with soil temperament, in this day & age, surely a replication of those conditions could be made.

Great snack occasionally. Taste gets too repetitive or whatever for me to eat them consistently though.

>>9354953
pretty sure wasabi peas are imported, just like the tubes of wasabi paste.

There's a YouTube video about guys that grow actual wasabi in Washington state. It's some hipster garbage so I don't feel like searching for it. The bottom line is: the market is satisfied with green horseradish powder, the real stuff is intensive to grow and spoils quickly. So, apart from very local restuaraunts, it's hard to make a profit producing it in the US

Yeah that makes sense. I forgot how quickly it loses its pungency. Explains the lack of exportation from Japan.

Thanks for not posting the vid. Don't wanna see hipster shite tonight

sugar. no.
