#wasabi peas

[ivstudios]

So I was eating a banana, and it seemed oddly bland. Like it had no flavour. And as many people are no doubt aware, losing your sense of taste is a classic symptom of COVID, so I started to get a bit worried. But hey, maybe it was just a bad banana. No reason to panic.

This required further testing, so I went to my fridge and started eating random things to see how they taste. Pepperoni: bland. Lemonade: bland. Marinara sauce: bland.

Shit, that’s not good.

So I run to the bathroom and pull out a COVID test and do the nose swabbing and such and wait and think about how there is a lot of COVID going around lately even Biden has it shit I definitely have COVID.

And the test comes back negative. And it occurs to me that even though I can’t taste anything my sense of smell seems fine. Don’t you usually lose both when you get COVID?

And so anyway this is a really long way of saying that it turns out I ate so many wasabi peas from the gas station that I fucked up my tongue and now I can’t taste anything

Are wasabi green peas a healthy snack?

Wasabi green peas can be a healthy snack option when consumed in moderation. They are made from dried peas coated in a mixture of wasabi seasoning, which gives them a spicy flavor.

Here are some potential health benefits and considerations:

1. **Protein and Fiber:** Green peas are a good source of plant-based protein and fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied.

2. **Vitamins and Minerals:** Green peas contain vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and potassium.

3. **Wasabi:** Wasabi, a Japanese horseradish, contains compounds with potential health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. However, the amount of wasabi in wasabi green peas is typically small.

On the other hand, some wasabi green peas may contain added sugars, salt, or other ingredients that could affect their overall health. It's important to check the ingredient list and nutrition label to make an informed choice. Eating a variety of snacks as part of a balanced diet is key to overall health and well-being.

the first reunion

needless to say, horrible nasty ridiculous turn left spoilers below the cut:

Shepard looked at the man. He was a turian, tall and imposing and looming over her. Horizon had no turians, either. Other than a handful of volus to help orchestrate intergalactic trade and one asari wife, there were no aliens on the entire colony. He stared down at Shepard-- at least, she thought he was. He still wore his helmet, he was nothing more than a mass of hulky black armor with a glowing red trim and red visor over where his eyes would be. 

A million questions surged through Shepard’s head. They swam in a muddied puddle that made it impossible for Shepard to extract which one was the most important one to ask. So, she asked the most simple question she could: 

“Who are you?” 

The turian seemed to be knocked out of his trance. He stopped staring directly down at Shepard and began rifling through the shelves. Shepard realized that he had brought her to one of the general stores in the colony. He pilfered through the different displays, throwing anything that apparently was of no use onto the group like some haphazard toddler. 

“Ask me a better question.” 

It was more of a demand than anything else. Shepard wasn’t quite in the mood to play the question game with some lumbering hunk of a turian that refused to take his mask off indoors like some sort of douche. “I beg your pardon?” 

He sighed, exasperated as if Shepard was some mild inconvenience to him. “We do not have a lot of time. You need to pick your questions very carefully. Now, ask me a better question.” 

“Or, you could just tell me what I need to know,” Shepard said testily, her anger rising in her chest. “Instead of this demeaning game of cat-and-mouse.” 

The turian seemed to find what he was looking for, ripping open green plastic bags and dumping what looked like pills in his hand. “Would that I could, sweetheart. Do as I say.” 

“I am not your sweetheart,” Shepard said. 

He paused, only for a moment, before hurrying back over to her and squatting down to her level. “Now that, I am perfectly aware of. Eat this.” 

“What is it?” Shepard said warily. 

“When I said you need to ask better questions, this wasn’t one of them. Eat,” he demanded, shoving the pills into Shepard’s mouth. 

As soon as she bit down, Shepard twitched in pain. It was as if someone had punched her clean across the nose, their knuckles soaked in eucalyptus. The pills made it seem as though they reached up into Shepard’s brain and tickled it with a feather. Her eyes watered, her mouth burned with a spice that wasn’t hot but instead cold. As she swallowed them, she felt the burn radiate down her windpipe and into her stomach. 

“What the fuck was that?” 

“You humans call it wasabi,” the turian said, a smug note in his voice that was overwise obscured by the helmet’s speaker. “More universally in the galaxy, it’s called a kick in the quads. Now stand up.” 

Shepard didn’t realize the feeling was back in her limbs. She stood, still shakily, still not too confident in her abilities to not fall flat on her face. But she stood, which was more of an improvement than she could have said five minutes ago.

Hey Optimus, what are your favorite snacks? And which snacks would you never eat?

[ a twist of his mouth, a furrowed brow. thinking. ]

I have never much cared for sour or bitter things; And I cannot tolerate snacks that are horrendously sweet. Upon occasion is fine.

... I do currently find myself enjoying snacks with a little kick to them.
