Peppered peanuts

It's hard to find decent snacks in the super market, I often end up just buying yogurt. At a loss for something, and feeling like I had to eat something, I grabbed these.

Eating them straight out of the packet was rather disappointing, they just taste kind of hot and burnt. Reminiscent of the fact that peanuts are carcinogenic. Pouring them out of the packet, and eating them from the plate however was much more satisfying.

They were much nicer if you didn't eat the spices, the dried red chillies and Szechwan peppercorns.

I went to sit down at a table, and noticed that one of the workers who was sitting at another table was called over to the counter where the cooks place the prepared dishes. She looked over at me and laughed, and I wondered what I had done wrong.

Then this came to the table..
