We ate the last can of mushy peas. Where can I get more? I heard there's a big UK shop somewhere in the Valley - can anyone confirm?

Mushy peas Although I do love the story of Peter Mandelson eating mushy peas thinking it was guacamole

I'd prolly check the Kings Head shop first, if you haven't already. They seem to have everything.

They are limited (I think).

Some sage VJer told me about a place off the 405 that was supposed to be huge.

Mushy peas

It's an acquired taste. I think what I dislike is the look of them. They don't actually taste half bad if you ignore the fact that they look like something that came out of a four year old's nose.

Real mushy peas (like homemade from a pub) are extra YUMMY!

But Bachelor's will do just fine.

My gran always made her own with dried marrowfat peas soaked overnight - they are soooo yummy

My Nan had this thing she called Pea Soup that she would make. It was like a slightly more liquid mushy pea concoction, which you served with dunplings. It was bloody yummy. Unfortunately, both she and my mother are dead, so I can no longer find out the "secret" recipe.

It's one of those things you regret not finding out before it's too late.

Maybe you could look up some online recipes and experiment a bit I am sure you can come up with your very own concoction and then make sure you pass it on

Where abouts do you live? They are suprisingly easy to find up here. Jewel carries them...even the Mexican grocery store carries Heinz Beans!

Tonight for dinner...Heinz tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Yum!

Anyone know where I can some real english easter eggs from this side of the pond?

My wife bought me one in Kroger (Atlanta area) last week. It lasted until the following morning It wasn't proper Dairy Milk though, it was the Hershey's 'licensed' stuff. The Minieggs inside were the real deal though

Kroger can be quite good for occasional stuff like that, they sell genuine, made in Britain, Cadbury Creme Eggs too, $0.50 each, although they're a bit smaller than the ones sold in Britain.
