“Hot” Candy — Ginger Peanut Chews
The Ginger People Ginger Chews, Peanut, 3-Ounce Bags (Pack of 24)
A few years back, a friend of mine introduced me to these candies — she is Chinese and loves both ginger and peanuts. She is also the kind that quickly shares something interesting. I instantly acquired the taste, but they were hard to find (I used to find them at an airport store) and I forgot about them.
Lo, and behold, I found these online and it reminded me about how much I miss her. I am the timid, non-jock sort and she is that fearless coordinated person — the one who bombs down the ski slope and swoops to that glorious snow blower precision stop as I carefully snow plow myself in lazy loops down the mid-level slopes (and the bunny ones too).
So, I thought, in her spirit, I would show you these — and these do have a bit of a bite — but if you like ginger (and peanuts) — you will find these refreshing — kind of like those super-strong mints. Anyhow, you might want to try these — they are very unusual. These probably will not give you that “jolly red nose”, but they do tend to help clear the sinuses a bit. I have to admit to liking these; but I like cinnamon “hots”, too.
