Re: Can We Talk About Peas?

I prefer beans usually but peas?..Fresh in the pod thanks. I don't mind shelling. When I cook I listen to music and have a beer or two. Time doesn't matter. I have all day..lucky me!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)

Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal, especially pork (traditionally pig's heart, liver, and fatty belly meat or bacon) together with herbs for flavouring and sometimes added bread crumbs. The mixture is shaped by hand into small balls, wrapped with caul fat (the omentum membrane from the pig's abdomen), and baked. It is a traditional dish in the English Midlands.

The first use of the term in print, as cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, dates from 1851, in a piece by Henry Mayhew in which he describes a dish identical to the modern product with chopped liver and lights in an outer wrapper of caul.
Cooked:



A "batch" is the name for a bread roll, bap, barm, breadcake, bun, cob or teacake in Coventry, Nuneaton and parts of north Warwickshire.

Re: Can We Talk About Peas?

Birds Eye large pack of frozen peas. I chuck peas in with most things I make, because they go with everything. A nice dollop of unsalted butter sometimes, make them even yummier!

Hi Art,

I like Frozen Pies (Birds Eye), they come in a re-sealable bag, they are really nice and sweet, I also like Mushy Peas.

I thought the same for 20 or 30 years, but now I'm back into the older more mature peas that come in a tin.

Re: Can We Talk About Peas?

There's a Portuguese favourite quick meal for when you have unexpected guests. Assuming you have peas in the freezer plus bacon/chorizo, eggs an whatever. A quick stew with peas, and the eggs get poached on top.

Re: Can We Talk About Peas?

Be very careful when cooking peas - too long and they'll start turning brown.

Once cooked drop them in cold water and put them in the fridge. When they are wanted simply drop them into boiling water for no more than a minute and serve.

Re: Can We Talk About Peas?

I love peas I buy the big bags of Birds eye petit pois with the zip locks .
They are great in soup also in spicy rice and samosas because they are small.
