Sounded wrong to me too. Just like the peanut butter and mint jelly
sandwich I had to eat at Girl Scout camp. I was hungry and I reasoned that
I liked mint but... Just no.

I have heard of minted peas. Don't think I have ever tried them. Mostly I
like my veggies plain. Salt, pepper, parsley and onions are okay in most
things. I might do some oregano, rosemary or paprika on roasted potatoes.
Actually the chili powder was good too. But I can't imagine mint.
