Marrowfat Peas Versus Mushy Peas?

[OldBather]

My OH,while going back (mentally) to his youth,expressed a desire for Mushy Peas.However,Mushy Peas and Marrowfat Peas (in tins at least) seem to be almost the same thing, (this is at Tesco, Sainsbury & Waitrose)
Any views on this?

Don't normally shop in Tesco, but did a detour for several bags of these...difficult to get locally. Made fab mushy peas....excellent value- 70p for 500g made six huge servings.

Strangely enough I sneaked two tins of mushy peas into our shopping trolley at Farm Foods yesterday. Lockwoods brand @29p a pop.
As a kid I hated Pease Pudding and mushy peas but ,have only, in recent 15 years or so grown to like them. Wife hates them but at least she brings me home Butchers own faggots when she visits her Dad in Halesowen.

I have never eaten mushy or marrowfat peas.

It is not something that I ever see changing.

We had a tin of Batchelors mushy peas, with tuna steaks and chunky chips last night. It made a change as himselfs favourite veg is garden peas and I try to ring the changes.

This is how my Mum used to make mushy peas! Opening a tin is much easier, but they were really lovely.
