I'll second that. Was never forced to eat anything or clean my plate as a kid, but the smell of canned peas has stayed with me for more than 60 years and you couldn't pay me enough to eat them now.

Well I know that some people turn their nose up at the idea of canned peas, but it does make the dish for me.

 

I'm a nose-turner-upper. They were the only vegetable my mother seemed to know how to  "cook" when I was a kid. However. I will make an exception for canned  French Petit Pois. Must be a good French brand. 

 

I do miss frozen peas, though. No good peas in China, in any form.

Red Cabbage-Asparagus Bowl - a mix of quinoa with cilantro, edamame, shredded red cabbage, pan-roasted asparagus and avocado with a sauce made from pureeing cilantro stems, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil, maple syrup, hoisin sauce and chili crisp

[weinoo]

Almost everything roasted:

 

 

And everything sorta the same color.  Top right sautéed (as Julia calls them) chicken thighs, meat removed and finished in the pan sauce.

Bottom roast is roasted potatoes.  And on the left, roasted cauliflower and broccoli.

@rotuts's GBP and your canned peas are my canned peas and canned creamed corn.

Thankfully frozen peas are always available here.   And it is the only frozen peas are the only frozen vegetable that I keep on hand.   Not a fan of any other frozen vegetable.

Where canned peas are a must for hot chicken sandwiches,  frozen peas are a must with roast beef dinner, with mashed potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.

What is GBP? British Pounds Sterling or Great British Peas?

Thanks. It's a toss-up for me. GBP or canned peas. Neither.

To yesterday's leftover leek and onions, I added some chicken and dried mushrooms, and popped a lid on top...

 

 

 

This was the first time I've baked a suet pie crust in the oven. I liked the more defined crunchy top that yields to the soft, squidgy pastry that soaks up the filling.
