Minted peas.

Who the fuck decided that peas would be improved by being minty, and why did anyone ever go along with this?

Minty peas. It just doesn't fucking work. It never has. It never will. Ruin a whole panful of perfectly good peas, why don't you.

You don't! You've just been brainwashed by Big Toothpaste.

It needs to be mint sauce, not just bits of mint - but yes it works, all I can think is you have a substandard mouth to not get this.

sorry for you shit taste buds. I wonder what other taste sensations taste bad to you?

So do I.
I don't get why people like parsnips. Revolting stuff.

I hate orange in chocolate. I hate mint in chocolate. Basically any chocolate that has an flavour in it. Also anything banana flavour doesn’t taste of banana.

I don't mind minty peas.
Now mushy peas, that's not OK.
Pre-chewed food.

RampantIvy · 27/07/2024 06:30

Flavoured coffee. What's that all about? Coffee should taste of coffee and nothing else.

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 27/07/2024 06:31

Mint in peas equals work of the devil.

See also, orange and chocolate.

RunningAwayToJoinTheCircus · 27/07/2024 06:32

Yes! OP - and why, why, WHY does every.single.restaurant have to serve bastarding rosemary with the lamb?
Every single time <howls into the void>
I hate rosemary!!!!! It's vile and noxious!
There is ONE place (about an hours drive from us, in literally the middle of nowhere) that serves gorgeous, juicy, perfectly cooked lamb without it 😐

Apparently banana flavour is closer to the flavour of the Gros Michel than the Cavendish.

Mint and peas yes. Orange and chocolate not on at all

Devilsmommy · 27/07/2024 06:35

@RampantIvy completely agree about flavored coffee. If you want a different taste don't order coffee 🤷

Globules · 27/07/2024 06:38

Oooh. I really fancy a plate of minted peas now.

I'm with you on banana flavoured. Wrong in so many ways.

Hot baked beans. Another thing I can't stand. I love them cold though.

But don't you want your lamb to smell like toilet cleaner and taste like Bitrex, and every mouthful to come with bonus pointy bits?

I'm okay with them if I know they're parsnips. Couldn't face them my whole childhood after a nasty surprise expecting a roast potato.

I love minty peas. Chocolate should never be ruined by adding nuts to it though, specially the abomination that is peanut butter. Who the fuck eats peanut butter flavoured chocolate?

I love cherries, but anything cherry flavored is revolting.

Nah, peas don't bring much to the table on their own. They need mint- it makes them sociable and pleasing. Kinda like when someone usually shy has a few Proseccos.

autienotnaughty · 27/07/2024 06:53

Peas are fine as they are no mint or mushy.

Love mint sauce on lamb and roast potatoes

RampantIvy · 27/07/2024 06:53

Flavoured gin. Why?
It's for people who don't like gin.

You're obviously purchasing sub-par peas. Find yourself some Birds Eye Field Fresh Petits Pois and tell me those little fuckers aren't punching well above their weight.

Surely unflavoured gin would just be vodka having an identity crisis?

Same but strawberry.

And also raspberries.

i love them on their own but as soon as some bright spark sticks them in chocolate or gin, horrible.
