more reverse-reverse culture-shock

For the last few weeks in San Francisco, I've often bought a $5 bag of sugar snap or English peas from the ferry market to eat with lunch. So yesterday I found a small package of snap peas at Tokyuu and bought three of them for the same purpose. To my surprise, my wife refused to try them. "You're going to eat that RAW!?. Apparently raw shrimp with head attached still quivering is ok, but peas would be an abomination. Go figure!
