Speaking of über ingredients, these green peas were served at the Foodies documentary reception at Maria Cristina hotel, organized by Jon Warren from San Sebastian gourmet tours. When someone says “you must try those peas”(not Iberico ham or other gourmet food, served at the cocktail), you better do.  Think of the freshest peas you’ve ever had in your life and multiply their flavor intensity by 100.  This is how guisante lágrima peas taste. The peas are grown at Jaime Burgana’s farm and can cost up to  800 euros per kilo. A price-only top San Sebastian chefs can afford.
