Peas Or Petits Pois

[joggerjayne]

I've had a serious issue to address today ... which are better ... peas, or petits pois?

Obviously the answer is peas. I mean, why do shops even sell those horrid little petits pois things?

[Peaspeculiars]

Peas! Peas! Peas! ;-)

Them 'orrible petits pois are imposters!

[mazie]

Because petit pois are sweeter and don't have tough skins (Hi JJ x)

Maybe because the smaller the product, the more flavour it has.

Hey, mazie x

[joggerjayne]

The texture is all wrong, SJ.

Chacun à son goût

[Peaspeculiars]

Cheers JJ xx Hope you are well

easy - peas because you cant get mushy petits pois

My friend bough a humongous bag of sugarsnap peas, then whinged to me the day after that they took forever to get out of the pods and there wasn't a lot o 'em by the time she'd finished....

True story!

You can Quoi, just mush em up with a bit of mint

Petits pois. Small ones are more juicy.

Has to be peas, JJ.....they flick off your knife much more satisfactorily......x

[mazie]

LOL B00, reminds me of my old mum slicing broad beans like she did the runner beans, boiled them up, skins and all. They turned out a bit black and bloody awful !

[joggerjayne]

Also (and I'm assuming here that everyone microwaves their peas) ...

... do you do them in a jug of water, or just in a bowl?

[maggiebee]

Use petit pois in a stirfry - yummy.

[Quoi]

proper peas are better in spaghetti bolognese

[Arksided]

Petits Pois are brilliant when mixing with mince beef. However you can't beat chip'shop style mushy peas.

[gness]

In a Microwave cooking bag, JJ.

Peas every time, I'm so glad to get back to some taste in them.
