A few weeks ago I went to lunch with a buddy and his wife and had some edamame as an appetizer. I actually had very little of it, but I did try it. Jump ahead to last week when Charissa and I went to Roy's for the first time. Roy's (which I highly recommend!) served up some edamame like a lot of restaurants give away free bread. Well, it rocked! We went to a sushi place tonight and I ordered some for an appetizer (just $3.95) and it was great again. Not as well flavored at Roys, but we ate for about $100 less:-)
Edamame, if you're still wondering, is a green veggie known to local folk as a soybean. Below is a site that tells a little bit more about edamame and its nutritional characteristics.
Go try, eat and enjoy!
