to think petit pois are much nicer than mushy peas????

[glaskhamhasoneintheoven]

ok, just for fun, can you all settle a debate for me... I think Petit pois are nicer than mushy peas....

what do you prefer?

Oooo, I love mushy peas!

urrrrrr peas in any form are the farts of the devil

I am right Glask!!

Mushy peas all the way!!

yaNbu - mushy peas = yeurrgh, petit pois = lovely.

both are great in their right context.
petit pois with fish and chips are very wrong
mushy peas in a risotto would be wrong too

haha- no Kayz- its one a piece so far!!!

What is the difference?

Petit pois (French) = Peas (English)

What are mushy peas?

petit pois all the way!

mushy peas are big fat squashed peas that are a nasty lurid green mush colour.

Mushy peas every time

petot pois, are small peas, are sweet tasting..... Mushy peas come in a tin, are made from much bigger peas, have a mushed pea sort of sauce with them.... nice with fish and chips but thats about it IMO!!

YES I have Diege on my side!!

haha- but i'm still wining by 1 so far!!!! wuhoo!!!!

Ooo i love petits pois. I can eat bowlfuls of them at a time and dd has inheritted my love too. WHen I ask her what she wants for her dinner its not uncommon for her to ask for a bowl of peas

ooh I love mushy peas with a bit of mint and a splodge of vinegar

I like adore^ freshly podded peas. Nothing frozen, canned or anything else.

I heart peas
DH loves his mushy peas

thats what 200 miles north does to you

well i'm a northerner, but much prefer the fresh taste of petit pois over the stodginess of mushy peas... also i'm from blackpool- the home of fish and chips, so you'd expect me to prefer mushy peas....

So 'mushy peas' are normal peas (= 'petits pois' in French) in a can?

I'm curious because there is no such thing as two different kinds of peas in the two countries I ever lived (not UK).

Oh my... we have the lot- garden peas, petit pois and mushy peas...

I dont even think mushy peas are like normal peas, they taste a bit more starchy... no skin's normally... i may just have to post you a tin!! They are nice in their own right, but only with fish and chips IMO!!

Ok... nice large garden peas are best, followed by petit pois. You'll never catch me eating mushy peas!! (Not even with fish and chips!!)

haha Kayz- i have Ses on my side!!!

mushy peas are vile (like green vomit!!!)

petit pois all the way

Mushy peas are revolting.

no cote, mushy peas are marrowfat peas, more like a legume, whereas petit pois are little garden peas
