When I was a kid, we grew peas in our garden.
But weirdly enough, I always liked the ones in TV dinners better. They were really "green" looking. Probably full of chemicals. This was in the late '50s - mid '60s.

I liked 'em.

I've been eating these peas forever.

Not the big green frozen kind you mention. Never liked those. I like these mushy ones, more of an olive green, sort of taste like asparagus.

As I was reading your post, the taste of those peas, the ones in the foil TV dinner hit me, I could, for a brief instant remember their taste, and yes, they were great.

I also, for some strange reason, liked the sliced carrots in those foil TV dinners, but I abhor eating carrots now.

TV dinners were very exciting to us as a kid, perhaps that was the appeal, they were a treat, or so it seemed as a kid, we had them very infrequently, but when we did, it was like a mini-holiday dinner for my siblings and I.

Now, they are just gross.

Mmmm..TV dinners. Didn’t you love the Salisbury Steak with the mashed potatoes, gravy and peas. There was always a little dessert of some type - cherry cobbler or such. Loved those and also loved the frozen chicken pot pies.

Wouldn’t touch the stuff now.
