egads, what a mental image.
Exactly...I had that mental image the whole time I would try to eat them. So you can see why I couldn't! LOL Even when I was a kid, I knew that it was a gross sensation.
I opened up a can of beef soup the other day from Aldis and found it was FULL of peas. I just stuck it in the fridge for Steve.
But I really don't mind split-pea soup.
