Default Canned Peas

Somewhere in the conglomeration of posts, someone mentioned it's amazing
how many people dislike peas. I said I didn't like peas when I was
growing up because the only ones I ever had were canned peas.

Sheldon mentioned Le Seuer brand canned young peas. Just thought I'd
mention, yes, I've tried that brand. They are slightly better than
other brands of canned peas. But hey, they're still just canned peas.
I much prefer the taste and texture of frozen baby peas over any brand
of canned peas.

If dogs eat around the canned peas in dog food there must be a reason.

Wow, Wayne. Just trying to bring things back to food related topics.
Pardon me if I peed in your Cheerios!

I actually *do* like frozen peas. I nearly always have some in the freezer.

I like Le Seuer canned peas, I like the juice too. When they are on
sale BOGO I buy a bunch, they are very nice in chicken peed egg drop.

Odd. I love canned or fresh peas. I won't turn down frozen ones but then
frozen any kind of veggies are my least favorite. I grew up eating canned or
fresh. I don't recall ever having frozen.

Pretty much the only canned vegetables I'll buy are corn and beets.
if you think canned peas are bad, try canned asparagus. And no, Le
Seur baby peas are even worse - and at almost twice the price).

Stokely tiny party peas are super tiny, much much smaller than Leseur peas.

Coincidentally, we went out for Turkish food last night. The veg of the
day was peas cooked in tomato sauce. Although they were barely still
green and were quite soft, I found them quite enjoyable. The entire
order was:

Him:

Tossed salad
Lentil soup
Braised ground lamb on a puddle of roasted eggplant paste (similar
to Sultan's Delight, but with ground lamb: <https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/braised-lamb-over-silky-eggplant-puree-sultans-delight-105018>)
Rice and vermicelli pilaf

Me:
Anatolian soup (a hot yogurt soup flavored with mint and hot peppers; it
also contained what the waiter described as "wheat berries")
Roasted salmon crusted with pistachios
Bulgur pilaf
Peas cooked in tomatoes

Would you official UKers kindly post your recipe for "mushy
peas?" I like them but not sure I have been making them the
"official" way. So many different ways shown with a google
search.

often post off-topic yet constantly complain about others and

I don't make them very often, but this is pretty much what I do.

This is from All Recipes UK

Ingredients
Serves: 4
300g (11 oz) frozen peas
4 tablespoons double cream
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (no I don't use this but I know you
do


Method
Prep:5min ۼ Cook:10min ۼ Ready in:15min

1.Bring a shallow pot of lightly salted water to the boil over medium high
heat. Add frozen peas, and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender.
2.Drain peas, and transfer to a blender or large food processor. Add cream,
butter, salt and pepper to peas, and process until blended, but still thick
with small pieces of peas. Adjust seasonings to taste, and serve
immediately.

If you do make it, please report back)

You want to fix canned peas?
- first open the can into a colander to get rid of
that nasty pea water
- add a good stock if necessary
- heat them and mash them just a bit plus season some to taste.

Canned peas are not evil, they are just cooked to death. They can
be fixed though.

You know exactly what she meant as does everyone else here. I
like the way you always try to weasel out of confrontations
though. Either act dumb or turn it around with "why do you do
this then" claim.

I never said they were evil and for those that like them, not a problem. I
don't care for the texture out of the can. Why would I bother to try to fix
something that I really don't care for, when there are options for the same
food that I really like? If I was hungry enough, I'm sure canned peas would
be simply magnificent.

What didn't make sense was his nasty remark involving my dh in a "why some
dogs don't like peas" thread. Just looking to cause trouble IMO.

You can't turn tender wimpy little fresh or frozen peas into mushy
peas. Mushy peas are the lumberjacks of the pea world, hardmen who have
to be tamed.


They start with a special kind of pea called marrowfat pea which is
picked at a later stage of growth, so larger more solid and tougher,
then it's dried.

https://www.thespruceeats.com/tradit...-recipe-435950

quote

"Love them or hate them there is no denying that t traditional mushy
peas are an intrinsic part of British food favorite, fish and chips or
with hot pies. There are many impostors out there using frozen and even
fresh peas; none comes even close to the real thing.

And just what is that real thing?

Real traditional mushy peas are made using dried marrowfat peas that
require and overnight soaking, and a long slow cooking. The result.
Exactly as the name implies, mushed-up peas. Bicarbonate of soda is
added to the peas while cooking and it this which causes the peas to
explode and create the required mush. For some, it is this texture which
is disliked, but fans will tell you, the soft, melting texture of the
peas is lovely when eaten with freshly cooked hot chips, or a pie fresh
from the oven. And if you are eating your mushy peas with a pie, then
try a drizzle of mint sauce on top, delicious."

The method follows on the website. I'll post it if you can't open the
link.

You can't make mushy peas from scratch in a hurry but luckily for us,
we can buy tins of mushy peas cooked and ready to heat and serve, and
that's what I do.

I worked at Batchelor's during 2 long vacs and they soaked marrowfats in
huge tanks before canning them the following day.
They also reconstituted conventional dried peas with added green dye,
then either canned them or dried them using the "Surprise Pea" method.
They were then added to store brand surprise peas with Woolworths having
the highest percentage of them.

fresh from the pod, not even cooked, are
the best of all to me. so delicious! they
rarely make it from the garden to the house.
we both stand there and eat them.

they're not evil. i'll eat them if i have to,
but my preference is to eat them fresh from the
garden if available...

I've never shot a dog in my life and I doubt I ever will.

This?
"Uhm, I don't measure my food preferences by what dogs like. Do you
sniff your husband's butt often too?"

That wasn't aimed at your husband, but at you. And it was a joke.
You're the one who became nasty out of the blue. Or tried to, because
it didn't make any sense

Thanks for all that, Janet UK. So...I havent' had authentic ones
yet but I will go for them. Need to find those specific peas,
evidently.

I'm glad I asked. You explained it all. This computer won't open
that link (the annoying all new security stuff) but I'm sure my
annoying laptop in the other room will get it. Actually would be
nice if you could go ahead and post it here so I can save it here
in my recipe folder.

I'd like to see that too. I have a few from OZ but not sure if they
match.

I actually worked in a canning factory during the summer uni vacations
where they had a canning line for re-constituted peas. The unit manager
explained the whole process.
