I love garden peas with my meals ie. fish, steak and roasts.
I prefer garden peas that l buy frozen. Fresh peas are a pain, you’re popping pods for ages but only end up with a few peas to show for all your trouble!
Even growing them, mice seem to sabotage a good harvest.
I usually buy Iceland Garden Peas That are only £1 a bag, they are so tender. l make sure l pick a pack with lots of little peas in the bag.
I don’t find expensive Birds Eye or Findus peas are any better.
I also have tins of mushy peas in the cupboard that I quite like occasionally with fish.
Oh and they are all full of Vitamin C.
So l ask, what peas do you like? Garden, Petit Pois, Mushy, any tinned, or the ones in the pods?
Ha! Pauline and l have just had fish that l cooked with peas and a few chips.
The peas were so tender and nice, l thought they deserved a thread about them!
I love frozen peas, don’t bother much with buying brand names, I usually buy Tesco’s or Sainsbury’s. Oh but I love fresh garden peas - for me it’s worth all that pod popping to get that wonderful texture and flavour. Can’t abide mushy peas, or those tins of marrowfat peas, yuck!
Anyone remember Surprise Peas? Dried peas, but not like your typical dried peas, I think these were super fast freeze dried or something. They were really quite good and handy to keep a couple of packets in the cupboard. Wonder what happened to them?
Art, you only have to google mushy pea recipe,I haven’t made them in a while, but oh so worth making your own, fresh cream in them as well, can’t remember all of the ingredients.
Pea and mint soup,is delicious,I used to make it a lot, for a french woman ,as her housekeeper ,she used to throw a lot of dinner parties and took the credit, for my cooking…I also made coronation chicken, so many dishes,I’ve lost count…
