Mushy Peas

[Poor language removed] repulsive stuff, the devil's snot no less.

I can't even abide the cooking smell of them, let alone their sludgy, slimey texture.
 
Sausage dinner = 3 sausages, chips, onion gravy and mushy peas on top. No chippies outside Merseyside know what they are and it costs about 4 quid to buy 1 where i live now and you can get a chinese for that price, used to be £2.30 back home

Round here they put butter on your burger bun in the chippies without even asking, disgusting, i mean, butter on a burger, WTF

Lovely. Get one for 3 quid in Garston. Money well spent (y)

Haha i butter my rolls when i have burgers, to me its perfectly normal and i assumed everyone done it.

But last year when at a barbeque my friend was shocked when i done so, she thought it was really weird.

Butter on roll = win

Mushy peas = satans bogies.
 

Peas which have been mashed up


incorrect.
they are marrowfat peas
they have been 'steeped' or soaked overnight in water and bicarbonate of soda, then simmered with alittle salt and sugar in the water.
apparently the bicarb is used to soften the peas to cause fermentation during soaking and reduce flatulence.

from wiki...

In Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and parts of Lincolnshire, they are often served as a snack on their own. They are traditionally accompanied by mint sauce, and sold at open-air events such as fairs or fetes. In Derbyshire mushy peas served with chips is called a "pea mix".
In North-West England (Cheshire/Merseyside/Lancashire/Greater Manchester areas), they are commonly served with two fried eggs on top as a late night snack.
A variant (particularly popular around Bolton, Greater Manchester and Preston, Lancashire) is parched peas – carlin peas (also known as maple peas, or black peas) are soaked and then boiled slowly and for a long time; the peas are traditionally served with vinegar.

i like to take a wild guess that not one of us has had that for a late night snack.
