Try the tinned Bachelor ones and don't over heat them, they're lovely but if you overheat them they just go to mush..I know they're called mushy peas but they're better if they're fairly solid.

Well? My Mum always used to use her own tinned mushy peas when ordering fish and chips rather than paying more for them at the fish and chip shop.
For God's sake hurry up with the next instalment of this gripping thread - I'm on tenterhooks here.

Well No Mercy,here you go, but you may not like it!
We had the mushy peas (Tesco Everyday Value Mushy Peas 20p)and I (heresy) didn't like them at all.My partner (who is Scottish,quite liked them).Could it be that we should be buying better quality peas,or maybe I am living in the past and remembering them in a state of nostalgia?

I have a facebook friend who is a major pea farmer in Canada. He put up a picture of him harvesting his peas and I did ask him if they were mushy or marrowfat but he didn't seem terribly impressed.
You need mint sauce or vinegar in mushy peas or they're horrible.

For ethandron(and everyone),

No sense of humour those Canadians(partners brother lives in Toronto)
Not in this house, we microwave ours too, in fact we microwave anything we can :)
I don't like peas but then again, maybe I should be inspired by that graffiti on the M25 bridge near Uxbridge which says "Give peas a chance"
Ha ha, yes you should, it inspired us!
You can cook your own mushy peas in a slow cooker!

Tank you till for that thought.Maybe when (at last) decide that we really like M Peas we will invest in a slow cooker.We have been considering this one~

We pre soak our peas with chick peas and do them in a pressure cooker. The result is slushy peas.
