edamame are great! (tonkichi, I think this is what you are referring to when you say large peas)

I really am addicted to nankotsu (deep fired chickedn cartilege) at the moment

Gee, I've never heard of nankotsu. Can you tell us more about it?

nankotsu is a very popular dish at the yakitori shops, here is picture of it yakitori style:

it can also be served deep fried, in this case it is usually just the cartilege with very little or no meat attached.

It is very crunchy, yet delicious.

really, i am referring to the ones that are at least 1 inch across; sometimes served in their pod which is like 8 inches long. the first time i saw it, it reminded me of that Woody Allen film in which all the vegetables are bigger than humans.

yes, but the ones I've enjoyed are bigger than the one in the picture. The sushi chef served it as an appetiser. Just one pod per person, with about 5 peas inside.

What part(s) of the chicken is the cartilege used in this dish from?

nankotsu is usually from the breast.

Will definately be picking up some beer on the way home tonight. Maybe some early-season edamame too, if I'm lucky...

On the topic of nankotsu...I don't believe I have tried the Japanese variety (but I will the next time I go to a new restaurant called "Hapa Izakaya" here in Vancouver--highly recommended, by the way), but they do have this as a dish in Chinese dim sum places. At Chinese restaurants, the cartilage is from the knee--translated, they're called "chicken knees". They're always deep-fried, & are usually flavoured with a mixture of spicy 5-spice (?) salt. I love them!
