Do they serve Paua fritters too?

Has anyone heard of "black peas" A fair (Silcocks) used to travel around Lancashire, they came to my home town of Tyldesley twice a year. They had what was called a Pea Saloon where you could sit inside and eat your Black Peas. They were actually Maple Peas which were steeped overnight and then boiled. You added salt & vinegar to taste.

Well, it's a good source of protein.

They call those "corn dogs" in the States. They're utterly vile things! *puke emote* I was really surprised when they pass as the norm for "hot dogs" here. You have to ask for an "American hot dog" to get a thing in a bun. And then it's bright pink anyway!

I miss "american" hotdogs and sweet popcorn at the movies when I go, its just not the same somehow

I never thought it right to eat something you had to hit so hard...oooo:curse:

I'd forgotten about popcorn... I had to get used to salted or buttered popcorn when I moved to the US, but they do have caramelised popcorn. Of course it's way more sickly sweet than it needs to be...

Now i have seen (but it was ages ago) tesco mushy peas in the WAREHOUSE!
Also some of the supermarkets in NZ do stock them.

Scottish Family

OMG OMG OMG why oh why did you seek them out???

They're just so disgusting - I can't believe a Kiwi would even be selling those things.

Just thinking about that on a Sunday morning is making me ill

I suggest you find someone who knows how to cook them properly then.
