I sometimes make pea and ham soup - that is very tasty.
Fresh and raw…
I love the minted ones, but they are hard to find these days. Used to always get them in the freezer in any supermarket.
I haven’t seen Surprise Peas in the shops for years, maybe I just haven’t been looking in the right place? Entirely possible!
Yes, I do get Iceland peas as well, but during this pandemic we don’t go in the shops at all and have C&C with either Tesco or Sainsbury. On the rare occasions I have a top-up delivery with Iceland I do buy their peas - and their Arctic Royal battered fish fillets, which are also great!
Peas are actually one of my favorite vegetables year around. I do prefer the petite young peas in a can, I choose them over the larger frozen peas in a bag (Green Giant or Birdseye). Garden peas in summer? Nah, takes too long to shuck them out of the pod. Late at night I have been known to open a can, heat them in the microwave and put a pat of butter on top with pepper.
Better snack for me than something sweet at times. 
Hi
So many good replies.
I am with Art on this.
Frozen are good, mushy with fish.
I grow mangetout in a couple of contaiers and use them in stir fries.
Frozen petit pois is the way to go because they are kept fresher than anything else. Tinned peas are ugh! I remember having fresh peas as a child. Peas always remind me of the John Major and Norma spitting image sketches. I have a love hate thing with them. But recently it’s become more affectionate.
Jazzi, l am taking it that you mean… supermarket brand?
Tesco or Asda brand aren’t bad and are a good price.
I wouldn’t buy ‘smartprice’ or ‘value’ peas though.
Minx, Yes they are very nice but so much time spent shelling them to get a few peas.
Bathsheba, You say, Artic Royal Battered fish fillets? Do you know what fish they are. If you say, cod or haddock then l would love to try them.
If it’s ‘Fish’ as in Pollock or Coley… No Thanks! That’s for cats! 
Swimmy, l know you love to cook and you enjoy good food. So do you make your own mushy peas, or do you buy the tins of Batchelor’s mushy peas, like l do?
Besoeker, Eating freshly picked peas out of the pods is lovely!
Roxy, When l was married my husband liked the minted peas but like you say, you don’t see them in the supermarket these days.
I sometimes add fresh mint to the peas whilst they are cooking. Or sometimes, l add a little sugar to make them sweet.
Right Now, Yes, l agree about the time it takes to shell them. So many pods to shell for such a little amount of peas!
I like the sound of your little snack with the microwaved peas with butter and pepper!
I usually boil or steam my peas.
Annie, When l lived at home, my mother who wasn’t a great cook gave us tinned marrowfat peas. Then you grow up and discover that there are several other types of peas!
I agree, they are the only green veggie that I eat. I just buy the Coles own brand frozen “Carrots, Peas and Corn” - all my veggies in one handy packet.
None of that foreign rubbish here.
I occasionally add a couple of teaspoons of Mint Jelly while cooking them.
That’s because you’re not from Coventry, where a “faggot’n’pea batch” was (and, AFAIK, still is) a favoured chip-shop takeaway … 
I may regret asking this - but what is in a faggot?
The only ones I have come across have been bundles of wood or an embroidery stitch.
