Peas ... or mushy peas?

[OxtedL]

Can you please settle this for me once and for all?

Got to be peas. Not sure what right thinking person would want mushy peas!

A man of fine taste also I see.

 

[FQ]

Indeed. Mushy peas are rank!

 

[Warwick]

It depends upon what they're accompanying. You wouldn't want mushy peas with a traditional roast dinner but with Haddock and chips it's the way to go.

 

[najaB]

With fish and chips it's got to be mushy peas.

As far as I am aware there has never been on a menu "Growler and garden peas".

Always mushy peas and funnily enough its what I had for lunch with lashings of mint sauce.

 

[Ash Bridge]

And I'm absolutely with Warwick & NajaB on this one!

I don’t mind mushy peas with fish and chips. I wouldn’t specifically order them if the default was neither regardless of any financial benefit. However generally peas, I quite like peas. They are fairness harmless and go with lots of things.

 

[peri]

Why don't we have both?

 

[Domh245]

As others have said, mushy peas if it is with fish and chips, otherwise just regular peas.

 

[birchesgreen]

It depends on what you are eating. Anyway the real debate is garden or marrowfat peas.

Like Peter Mandleson, just think of them as avocado puree.

Aldi do Savoury snacks made from peas. They’re more than edible. I first tried them during a lengthy connection at Gainsborough Lea Road.
I have other completely pointless and other unrelated facts too. Mostly about owls.

Peas.

I can't stand mushy peas.

 

[hexagon789]

Fish and chips - mushy peas (not absolute must mind, I like it to be vaguely identifiable as peas )
Anything else - peas (near as hard as bullets)

 

[Harpers Tate]

Depends on context. Pie & Peas? Mushy - has to be.

 

[STEVIEBOY1]

Neither, I was put off these years ago. Infact I must be one of the few people that like Sprouts and Cauliflower. I also like Broccoli, savoy cabbage and baked beans. Sometimes a little spinach too.

 

[tgrb]

Well peas, unless with fish and chips...obvs!

 

[yorksrob]

Mushy peas please.

Can't stand those garden things exploding in my mouth. Yuk.

What I hate most of all is when you order fish and chips expecting mushy peas, and you get mushed up garden peas instead. Disgusting.

You can't beat the brassicas !

My local carvery has taken to having garden peas and runner beans every time (surely these must go out of season some time ?)

I plonk a dollop of mushy peas on instead (they go very well with mint sauce).

Mushy peas everythime

These are very moorish

Give peas a chance!

Agreed, sorry guys

 

[alxndr]

Proper peas.

I was convinced to try mushy ones last year and they were worse than I'd imagined. The texture is all wrong.

 

[Mag_seven]

Neither - yuck.

If cooking at home: Peas, from the pod. Not Mange Tout.

If in MasterChef mode. Peas Puree. Mushy if you like.

Actually back home in Cornwall when I was about 10 years old, my mother gave me 2 lbs of peas to pod (de-pod in modern parlance), and I couldn't resist eating a few fresh from the pod peas. In fact too many. I presented her with about 150 peas in total.

My ears hurt for the next week from the scolding I got.

Peas Puree. Mushy if you like.

Peas puree and mushy peas are definitely not the same thing!

The best way to eat them.
