Brit food: Mushy Peas

Recommended Posts

What marketing genius came up with that name? That's almost as bad as that other Brit food: Spotted Dick, which sounds like a very nasty disease.

I tried some Mushy Peas once at this Brit-style restaurant once. Can't you guys throw a smoked hamhock or hot pepper or something in there to give it some flavor? It's frickin' baby food!:S

And what about Haggis?

It sounds to me like some type of sick fraternity hazing ritual.
:P:D



Haggis isn't British.. it's Scottish. :P

I own all of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks and used to make her version of mushy peas:

Nigella's Mushy Peas (4)
Category: Peas & Mangetout
Country: England

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients...
1 head garlic
800g frozen petit pois
100g butter
4 tbsps creme fraiche or double cream.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions...

Seperate the garlic cloves but do not peel them. Put into a saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil, add salt and then boil for 10 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves with a slotted spoon, then push them out of their skins back into the water and return to the boil.

Add the peas and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain , then tip into the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and process. Add the cream and process again. Reheat and season when ready to eat.

Any left over can be used for pea soup, or make a pea guacomole.


Delicious!:P I used to make it atleast one night each week.

Not doing very well coming up with british food are yah:P

try a delicious roast with roast potatoes, carrotts, garden peas, pumpkin, mash potatoe, gravy and a yorkshire pudding. There is british food for you and probably the only true british food there is.

Think you will find fish and chips more of a kiwi and ozzie thing these days.

I used to be married to an English lady (yack, yack. yack :S:S) and about the only authentic English meal she made that I liked was roast beef, English roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with parsnips. She also turned me on to Branston and cheddar cheese sandwiches.:)
Still, she talked way too much. Should'a whipped the bitch.:D:D
The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
