today i realized how much i actually hate peas. sure they seem innocent enough, but those little bastards pack a mean punch. I didn't know to what extent these little veggies bothered me until they showed up in abundance in my otherwise tasty fried rice. Sometimes i don't even like to eat a mixed bite of food. i like to have the option of eating all the pieces separately. Peas do not give me that option. They're Green, They're Mean, and they want to be In Every Damn Bite.
My issue with these are that due to their shape and size they are quite difficult to sepparate from the dish they are bumrushing. and their size belies their taste. no matter the size of the bite you're taking, the pea taste overpowers completely. this i have a problem with. I am of the "no food should out do the other food you're eating school". Huge chunk of cheese with a cracker crumb? no dice. Pizza covered in Sauce and/or cheese? Absolutely not. that will (and has) require a dismantling of said pie until the tastes are evenly distributed. this same ideal goes for pretty much everything i eat.
Call me a control freak, i don't mind, however i prefer the much more genteel title of "The Great Equalizer". i strive for all foodkind to be represented equally within each dish, and that regardless of size, color or texture they can expect to be tasted in every bite.
