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.
Same with the delicacy fantasy. Back then I used the Le Seur peas for pea salad. Guess the mayo (mayo, cheese, peas) covered up the small sized peas better than the regular canned peas.
