@quietpurplehaze Thank you for your comment Hazel, those dried peas are in fact mushy peas as we know it, these are Batchelors quick cook version no need to soak them over night in bicarb water in the traditional way:)
@peterlgrave Thank you for your comment Peter, I hope everything goes well on your next visit and you get the go head to get your teeth stuck into something solid again:)
That's a swede, a root vegetable.
I make mine like that too but Peter, I have never heard of dried peas, mushy yes!
