Got my mushy peas at last

There's a really good brit food shop on Riccarton Road in Christchurch called Bramptins, I visited it this morning and it's got everything from washing powder to chocolate!

I was only interested in buying mushy peas though cos my tastes have changed I think and I don't miss anything else really.

I love that shop - i was in there last week, I got Irn Bru, pot noodle, cadburys buttons (sorry but nz choc just doesn't taste the same) and some REAL coffee....its a home from home. It does cost more but for the little treats its worth it...$12.99 for some bold powder is abit much though !!!

Mmmm...heaven, enjoy them Sky. I love 'em with a sprinkling of mint sauce.

I don't remember them staring up at me from the bowl like that though

Is that Kiwi style Pea and Ham soup (without the ham)

you could always cut up some pink condoms and put it in the soup - that should give you the authentic kiwi ham texture....

Just found this recipe for "Minty Mushy Peas" by Jamie Oliver Sounds yummy

This is a fantastic recipe that is so quick and so simple and uses our reliable friends the frozen peas, which work really well here. Great with fish, meat, or even as a vegetarian dish with a big dollop of butter on top.


2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch spring onions, chopped
1 handful fresh mint, leaves picked
1 pound (500 grams) frozen peas
2 large knobs butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, mint, and peas. Cover and leave for a few minutes to steam. Mash with a potato masher. You can do this with a food processor as well, just pulse it until smooth. Whether mashing or pulsing, when it's done add the butter and season very carefully, to taste.

i quite like french style peas..... again you can use frozen, but they are braised with a little white wine, plenty of butter,chopped shallots and a little spring greens or something similar....

Dont forget those pine nuts in your pesto. I forgot about them
