    Here's a very recent entry in my database that seems to be
    both tasty and right up your street,

    Title: Cold Sesame Noodles

    You are right, this is up my street. My sister served me something
    very similar to this once, and i thought it was surprisingly good.

    * UDD sez: If you are garnishing w/chopped peanuts why
    spec "smooth peanut butter"? Makes no sense to me.

    I feel amused by your observation. I've read that children often
    don't want different parts of their meal to be mixed together or even touching each other on the same plate. The peas and mashed potatoes
    need to be kept separate! So maybe in the same vein, the chopped
    peanuts need to be kept on top where you can keep an eye on them.

    See tagline.

    I can understand speccing "smooth" P-nut Butter for a sauce/coating if
    there are no other nuts in the dish. But, what's the point if you're
    going to have other crunchies as a part of the ingredients?
