I have tried Tesco and Asda brand garden peas too but lceland are nicer.
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!

Re: Can We Talk About Peas?
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.

Re: Can We Talk About Peas?
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.

Tesco or Asda brand aren’t bad and are a good price.
I wouldn’t buy ‘smartprice’ or ‘value’ peas though.

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!
