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.

that recipe was picked at random! I have never made it. The sauce I had were very smooth.

I only ever buy petit pois. I dislike big bullet school dinner peas.

I could do peas with tomato sauce. But eggs with tomato is a sin against nature.

not even in a fry up?

people have such stressful lives following all these rules!

how are they rules? it's just what tastes good and what doesn't to the general population. you are clearly weird.
i know what you mean about eggs and toms (huevos rancheros vomitos) but oooh, i like a fried egg and fried tom in a cooked breakfast.

I have tastes and combinations that I don't like but I don't assume that every one else has the same or would say that they were wrong for doing so! I would hate to be the same as the general population. No one would ever have put odd ingredients together to make something new that way. Love huevos rancheros!

uh right, whatever, buzzkill.

i put peas in everything!

I love pasta with tomato sauce and often add peas, sweetcorn, broccoli and anything else I find in the fridge (hate peppers though). Dh and dd also eat it

LOL at huevos rancheros vomitos. So true. May I say that spanish food often seems to violate some basic food niceness rules but has a sort of ethnic kudos that we don't get for our cuisine (like how French people always think we have meat with jam).

Peas with tomatoes would work in a sort of indian capacity?

I've made said recipe and 'twas very nice

(I also mortally offended the 'no red and green together' crowd by chucking in a good handful of fresh basil !!!)

Has mattar panner got tomatoes in it? I love that.

paneer, yes it has, hooray for cheesy peas.

yes, i think there may be an ethnic exemption available. but not bloody italian.

or mexican?
