the sainsbos 'feed your family for a fiver' recipe... peas and tomato sauce. i'm not wrong, am i,? that taste combo is gross-a-MUNDO.

[AitchTwoOh]

Bleh. peas go with GREEN things, pesto, courgette, feta, those pointy spears the name of which mysteriously eludes me.

not red sauce. my red sauce only tolerates a red or yellow pepper, celery, carrot and maybe a mushroom at a pinch. ideally it's just onion, cel, carrot, a slice of smoked bacon and toms (and an armful of olive oil). but peas... NONONONONONOOOOOOO. that is WRONG.

but dd3 looooooooooves peas.

she has peans with everything.

oooh weird punctuation in the title. [pedant]

with red sauce? eeeeuch. my dd loves peas as well, mind you, i just like her enough not to put red and green together. should never be seen, dontcha know?

although i do make the exception for ketchup with a fish supper and peas, obviously.

It is as you say a totally disgusting combination; but it can be on the table in 10 minutes and is dd's favourite quick meal.

You're not wrong, peas and tomato sauce very wrong imo

I had a lovely pasta sauce in Calabria which had tomatoes, cream, ham, chicken mushrooms and peas in it. I'll see if I can find a recipe.

if you insisted, robin, i'd let you grate extra carrot in there. i'm not a snob. but PEAS. it must taste wrong. [hypocrite]

I like peas mixed with the rice I have with my chilli.

DH thinks I am odd, but to me, chilli and plain rice is just WRONG!!!

Not as wrong as sweetcorn in tomato pasta sauce that is wrong, wrong, wrong!

msappropriate, if it had tomatoes rather than was a tomato sauce i can slightly see that more, but tbh it still sounds like something i'd avoid on a menu. those crazy calabrese are too busy kidnapping local businessmens' wives to cook well...

oh, and pea's with tomato sauce, mash and fish fingers is one of my comfort foods....

forget about the kids thing. this recipe is Feed Your Family For A Fiver (don't get me started about how SHIT the mince must be), you have to be prepared to eat it as well.

I must be weird then. I quite like peas with tomato sauce or simply mixed into cooked tomoatoes....

ketchup is exempt, as already stated psychomum... do try to keep up, you pea freak.

it wasn't tomatoes, it was a sauce. Was fab. They have loads of very interesting spicy stuff there but I was pregnant and kept worrying about salami and liver type stuff so didn't explore it to the full. I hate rules in everything so I always like to eat unusual things.

I can feed my family for a fiver on decent 'healthy living' mince, and there are 7 of us!!!

I just bulk the mince out with lots of veg and tinned toms and serve with pasta/rice/mash.

good meal that we all like and for under a fiver!!!

so long as you're not bulking out with peas, i heartily approve.

.......sorry, not kept up as was 'scan reading' rather than proper 'taking it in' reading.

still....standing by my 'pea freak' name with pride

nooooo.....cannot bulk out with pea's as tis only me in the family that like them!!!

I am convinced I often feed my family on a fiver

am confused by the whole thing

i'm wondering why ketchup is exempt? it must be the vinegar, a natural friend of the pea. pease pudding etc.

me too, how much is some noodles, soy sauce and some veg fgs? or some spag bol? (unless you're buying expensive mince).

its was boscaiola sauce
