Often eaten with fish and chips in Pubs and more often than not a northern delicacy (ha, ha). Marrowfat pea's with seven bales knocked out of them until they look like green mashed potato! Is it because they can't get rid of the manky old pea's up north, or what? Who eats this rubbish, not us here in the south! Why are they on the Pub Menu's in the educated south? Now wait for the flak Ronnie 'old boy'. Lol |

I'd never even heard of them until we stopped in a very authentic fish and chips shop in Fulford, N. Yorkshire. They were great and made a very nice compliment to that most English of dishes. I thought Southerners ate black eyed peas, with grits and collard greens.

In my mind, vegetables like string beans, asparagus, soybeans, peas, peapods, etc., should be either steamed for a minimal amount of cooking time or grilled / pan fried until just cooked through. I tend to eat a lot of these vegetables raw. Though I like most vegetables done al dente, this doesn't hold for root vegetables--best, of course, baked or boiled until thoroughly done. For corn-on-the-cob, one of my favorites, the shucked ears need to be placed in a large pot of cold water with a couple of teaspoons of sugar and the juice of half a lemon, brought to a rolling boil, allowed to boil for only two minutes, turned off and allowed to sit in the hot water for exactly 10 minutes--perfect every time! |

I just stick the corn in boiling water and go watch tv until I realized they are on the stove!!! LOL!!! I had mushy peas out of the can once. It is not at all common here but since it was from England, I had to try. Think I'll go buy another can tomorrow!!! I'll get back to you! |
