Pass The Peas - JB's

Peas please Louise

Advantages: taste good
Disadvantages: non e

Peas please Louise, I often have a packet of Tesco frozen garden peas in my freezer. I think the packaging must have changed since this category was added as it is not such a lush green pack anymore. The product the same just Tesco has updated the pack These garden peas are available in 1kg pack and in a 1.8kg bag. The 1kg bag costs 1.63, the 1.8kg bag £2.82 (£1.57 per kg) so if you have room the bigger bag works out cheaper. I find a bag of peas handy to keep in the freezer as I can easily use as many as I need at any time. Peas are often the vegetable that will be eaten by children. (except my grandson ) Peas go well as a vegetable accompaniment to most meals. These Tesco garden peas are good ones, not hard bullet and tasteless. They are a fairly good bright green maybe not the smallest and sweetest frozen pea, but ...

Review of Tesco garden peas

~Easy Pea-sy ~

Advantages: Delicious and very easy to grow
Disadvantages: You have to grow your own.

I had never heard of the Asparagus Pea before and only came across it purely by chance whilst browsing a seed catalogue for suitable Kohl Rabi and Sweet Corn to grow this year. The Asparagus Pea, or Tetronoglobus Purpurea to give its Sunday name, is not something you are likely to find in the supermarket or local greengrocers. I adore Asparagus and as the UK season lasts only 8 weeks, rather than have to buy the imported stuff from Peru, I thought these may well be worth trying to satisfy my taste for Asparagus. They are not really a pea at all, but are in fact a vetch (that's a climbing plant with a bean like fruit for those not in the know), these are bushy plants bearing deep red flowers which appear in summer, followed by pale green curiously 4 sided shaped winged pods. Whilst they are not really that common in Britain, they ...

Review of Asparagus Pea

War and Peas

Advantages: Yummy peas
Disadvantages: Rubbish for making soup with

a bit of carrot or a pint of stock whilst simultaneously maintaining an eerie ability to predict when a six year old would attempt to steal a biscuit: "I'm going to hang the washing out now, Fiona. Both God and I have counted how many biscuits there are and neither of us will forgive you if there's one fewer when I come back." Despite doubtlessly teeming with salmonella, the soup was pretty damn tasty. However, this was a soup that had clearly defined strata, and only the uninitiated (or foolhardy) delved down to the bottom. The top layer was tasty watery brothy stuff, the middle layer had carrots and potatoes and occasional bits of chicken in, and the bottom layer was comprised almost entirely of peas. Now, when I say 'peas', you'll no doubt be thinking of the nice, bright green, sweet and tasty variety. My gran had no ...
