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?
You should try Iceland garden peas and they are only £1 for ? 800 grams. It used to be a kilo. Honestly, they are so tender.
I have tried Tesco and Asda brand garden peas too but lceland are nicer.

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......
I love cooking....but not like Gordon Ramsay....

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?
Do you have a favourite brand?
