Mushy peas!
No really, bear with me. Hubby loves mushy peas, don't know why, yuk. But I know the Aussies love their pies with gravy and tomato sauce. But do they have mushy peas?

Re: Mushy peas!
I just have to laugh even thinking of mushy peas....oh even the idea of my chips sitting in a dollop of the green stuff. Anyway...no I've not seen mushy peas over here...as yet.

Re: Mushy peas!
Mushy peas abound up here!!!
You can buy them by the tin in 'Coles' supermarket and you can also get steak and pea pies, which I am reliably informed by ste, are 'ok'.

Re: Mushy peas!
Recipe for MUSHY PEAS
200g (7oz) green split or marrowfat peas
1 small onion or large shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 celery stick
1 bay leaf
15g (1/2 oz) butter
salt and pepper
Put the peas, onion, garlic, celery, bay leaf and 1 litre (1 3/4 pints) water in a large saucepan. bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stiring occasionally, or until the peas are tender.
Remove the celery stalk and bay leaf from the mushy peas. Stir in the butter and mash lightly to give a textured mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Re: Mushy peas!
You can get them in Bilo supermarkets in Brisbane "Bachelors mushy peas" (imported from the UK) in the foreign food aisle for a couple of $. I can't remember the price, I think they were something like around $2
Can't say I have noticed if the normal tinned aisles in the supermarkets sell any Australian made ones.
I don't tend to buy tinned veggies and dislike mushy peas. Normally I wouldn't notice them except that I did notice the imported UK ones in the curry/foreign food aisle.
cheers

Oh Thank you. We live in Victoria....just been to Cole's and bought 4 tins of mushy peas!! We have searched and searched but must have missed them hidden behind the huge selection of garden peas. We have also found decent sausages.... DONS-PORK & LEEK. Can't wait for...sausage, mash and mushy peas with onion gravey!!
