Having nothing better to do I googled origin of mushy peas and apparently the term was unheard of prior to 1975!! Little wonder I never heard of it.......................

oh i love mushy peas, especially the ones yo soak first yum yum,

i live int he north eat n been brought up wth them

I'm from the north west Vera and never had/heard of mushy peas until a few years ago.

I think it must originally be a cockney thing like eel pie etc!!!! Someone will say I am wrong!

Even though I'm from up North, I don't recall ever eating mushy peas. We were great ones for the fish and chips, especially on Friday lunchtimes but I don't recall any peas.

I do remember marrowfat peas which were mushy out of the tin as oppossed to the ones 'that go pop'. Never had mushy ones but had hot pease pudding.
Wonder if that's the same thing. Any way certainly not pureed!!

OH burst out laughing at pureed peas and said that is baby food. Neither of us like mushy peas anyway.

Oh Chris... Puree and mushy are not the same at all, are they?

I have only heard reports on the U.S. peas being Mushy, but I'm sure that wouldn't sound right for some people.
Whatever next ?

I sense a skit or two coming on Chris :-)


Oh to be a fly on a wall in a Chippy....

of mushy peas to be known as such - according to the BBC reporter from Hollywood said the gala dinner which the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge attended last night was fish and chips with pureed english peas! The waiters had Union Jack waistcoats and bowler hats and imported from Wales were Union Jack lampshades. Tat was the word that came to mind.

Now remember when you next order a fish supper ask for pureed english peas and see what reply you are given.

Do tell we would all like to know lol
