Edamame

I don't know why my food bills are so high when this edamame and miso soup combination is fantastic and only £2.

Edamame is something I had never heard of as a child, and I nearly missed out on loving these hairy immature green soybeans by eating them in the pod. Sorry, the pod is not nice and does not compare to the delights of the sugar snap pea. But I love the soybeans inside the pod (even without the salt)

Fact of the day: raw soybeans are toxic to humans and must be cooked with wet heat to make them safe. Who knew?

Miso soup is lovely too and quite soothing to have on my journey home.
