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.

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.

A long ago boyfriend's German mother had made her living as a cook/housekeeper travelling the world after WWII.

 

One day she showed me how to make peas and carrots, starting with canned peas (400ml). Add 2-3 cups carrot diced finely; pinch salt, sugar and pepper; 2 tablespoons Maggi seasoning. Into frying pan went 1/2 cup butter, browned slightly, then 6 tablespoons removed directly to pea and carrot mixture. Remaining butter mixed with 1/4 cup flour and browned slowly. Bit of nutmeg at end.

 

These peas were quite edible.

Frozen peas make a regular appearance on our plates, peas being hubby's favourite, fresh or frozen, followed by corn as a second.

Had purchased a big bag of lamb shoulder, cubed from a restaurant supplier. I was able to thaw the flat block just enough to separate it into 4 meals.

Lamb Vindaloo with Basmati rice, paratha, and the unlikely side of mixed veg.

                                                      

 

Been wanting the Thai salmon again after we enjoyed with with friends. Made the mistake of being cheap and bought a package of skin-on fillets. They came in a package that does not show the fillets. They were VERY thin! Won't do that again.
Sandwiched between layers of lemongrass, cilantro, green onion, ginger, lime slices and Thai chilis. Eaten with leftover Basmati rice from the lamb, and stir-fried mixed veg.

                                                      

                                                     

Surprised to find a Sterling Silver (AAA) Boneless chuck roast for $6.00 / lb. Made a slow braised stew in the oven. Good day to use the oven as it's -27C, -38C with the wind! The flavour was good and meat was tender, but doesn't measure up to beef short ribs, which are $9.99 / lb on sale!
Loved the German potato dumplings (from a mix) - pillowy and a bit chewy!
