The only way I would eat peas when I was a kid was fresh off the plant.They would almost make me throw up. After the microwave came out I eat them now. No canned or boiled for me.
Back in the 1950s-60s my Grandmother always bought those cans of Le Seur baby peas, for holidays. I guess to her, they were a ‘delicacy’; but they were almost as disgusting as regular canned peas.
I didn’t like peas until I discovered frozen ones (nobody in my family had a garden, back then.) I like to just thaw the frozen ones and put them in salad, without even cooking.
