BatchelorsBigga Dried Peas - 250g

We were in GB several years ago and fell in love with Minted Mushy Peas. Every now and then, I'd get a yearning for some, but there were none to be found here. The last time the urge hit, my Amazon lightbulb came on and wa-lah... there they were. I ordered them, received them, cooked them according to directions... added a bit of mint and some salt and suddenly, I was back in Churchill's Tavern... Served with fresh Fish and Chips and it can't be beat!!

They came right on time.

The type I really remember had a tablet (full of sodium--I presume) to dissolve with the dried peas.. and soak for a long period... then cook. Today in England that version is gone, too. This version however is far superior to canned.

I've known about mushy peas for years and finally decided to try some. Time consuming but they were really tasty. I'll definitely make them again. They have to soak for 12 hours so I got up at 5 in the morning and poured boiling water on them so I could cook them with supper. Takes a good 30 minutes to cook too. The soda tablets are included which was nice. I thought they were bland on my first taste but after I added sugar, salt and butter it really brought them to life. I have a new friend in the UK and she says she only buys canned mushy peas. That would be nice so you don't have to wait all that time.

Great for traditional mushy peas, just like when I was brought up in Yorkshire.

good product

These dried peas cooked perfectly. Picking through them before soaking there were only a couple of peas that were consigned to the compost - very little waste.

The media could not be loaded. Waited a week for my order (which was delayed in transit) to arrive. Upon arrival, peas were spilling out and when package was opened, the boxes were crushed and non-refundable. Never even had the chance to enjoy. Terrible.
