Not really. Most people in the world seem to steam, stir fry or do something else to their veggies. Raw is uncommon -- nm - Krusty Apr 30, 07:15 5

I also came across an Asian person at a farmer's market once that couldn't get their head around the idea of eating garden peas not as pea pods. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 07:14 2

  - Like they were selling the pea pods that you would have to shell and this person was like "these are way too far gone", expecting snow peas. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 07:17
Apparently not! -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 07:11 1
