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?

All peas are disgusting, like beans. All fluffy like cotton wool on the inside... urgh.

I prefer frozen good quality petis pois.
But I also like this

pushchair- i have to agree with you there- that is a lovely mushy pea!!

Mushy peas or any peas that come in a tin are yucky yucky!
Fresh or frozen peas lightly steamed are yummy yummy!

Has it really come to this????

(Petit pois.)

Mushy peas rank. Petit pois are lovely but they have to be petit pois and not garden peas.

Peas are vile. In any form.

mushy peas don't always come from a tin. They can be bought fozen too I love mushy peas, but I am northern. Garden Peas from a tin are rank. Peas, or should i say petit pois are ok.

Mushy peas are the only good peas!!

kay- looks like i'm winning this debate!!!

In fact to celebrate i think i'm going to have petit pois with my chicken and chips tonight!! Yummy!!!

Mushy peas are essential for fish and chips!

I am so tempted by fish and chips tonight, BUT can't be bothered to walk up there.

Ooooooooh I bet there is a north south divide on this one.

Am a yorkshire lass who LOVES mushy peas now living in exile in Kent where very few places have them. All DHs Kent family think they are wierd. Petits pois are good too, in their place, but no substitute with F&C

At school in Northumberland in the 70/80s we had something else called steeped peas, dried peas, still rather grey looking, having been "steeped" in water. Great with lashings of vinegar

Big peas (garden peas is what it says on my bag of frozen ones) are better than petit pois.

At uni one of the delicacies we were sometimes given was 'mushy pea fritters'. Brown on the outside, luminous green on the inside.

mushy peas are vile, normal peas are nice (though I prefer petit pois). Am northern by birth and upbringing.
yummy yummy mushy peas blergh

By the way, anyone from East London? What is that green stuff they serve in Pie and Mash shops? They call it Liquor, tho not sure on spelling as it is some years ago I went in one. The menu was various pies, or sausage, mash, peas, onion gravy and "liquor"

when I asked the girl on the counter "what is the green liquid everyone's having on their meals" she just said "Its liquor", like I was daft, no other explanation. I have always wondered, is it pea juice or summat?? (didn't risk trying some as meal was lovely and did not want to spoil it)

(pale green milky substance full of green flecks)

it's sort of parsley sauce I think

(not from E London I hasten to add but lived in Leytonstone for a few years)

i don't like petit pois
they are too small
normal peas, bird's eye
that's the pea for me

Ingredients - Liquor
400ml Chicken stock
2 tbsp Arrow root
4 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
4 Tbsp potato water

yum yum

Thanks HArpsi, I did wonder about that

i don't think I have eaten mushy peas - they sound most unappetising though

Another Northerner here voting for the Mushy Peas.

I prefer petits pois. I have tried mushy peas for the first time when I was 30 and thought it tasted somehow "smoky". I have not renewed the experience, maybe I should, just to make really sure.

Petits Pois for me.

Cassegrain brand because the ad in France featured a cute bunny wearing shades.

Mushy peas are evil
