Mushy Peas
 

Does anyone in the Charlotte NC area know where to buy Mushy Peas? They used to sell them at Harris Teeter/World Market but they seem to have discontinued them. Fish and Chips aren't the same without them:D

CCA british foods that was in Charlotte has closed her shop but she still ships or you can collect. Her site is: www.ccabritishfoods.com

Or you could try the South African Store on Independence which also sells british stuff :11229 East Independence Blvd.

I have the very same problem...my hubby loves chips, fish and mushy peas. Even bought a deep fat fryer to I could make him 'proper' chips. For the last 18th mths I have not been able to buy them anywhere...same with Batchelors processed peas. I used to be able to purchase them from several local retailers but now there's none to be found. :(

Try buying a packet of split peas,you can get them in most supermarkets usually with the spanish food's. I saw on another forum that they are like mushy peas. Must say I haven't tried them yet, but I've got some to try this week.

Oh....they make and sell sausages too! :)

Re: Mushy Peas
 

Thank you EM. :) I wonder if they'll deliver? The problem with buying heavy items in NYC is getting them back to the car or train.

Not a lover of sausages...I don't like eating chopped up meat...you don't know what's in there. :eek:

I agree but I do like processed peas.

Re: Mushy Peas
 

I buy Bachelors Mushy Peas from Wegmans for about $1.50 a can.

Thank you I'll ask hubby to call in next time he's passing.

Try Jamie Oliver's recipe for mushy peas -- 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.
:p

I could type out Nigella's recipe for you. A few ingredients and quick whiz in the food processor et voila... mushy peas!!

Re: Mushy Peas
 

Well thank you everyone - I never expected such a lot of good replies about Mushy Peas (and yes Ray I am weird and Northern - but you're wrong mushy peas are delicious!).

I didn't realise the CCA British foods woman still shipped stuff - however, she is out of stock :( The South African place don't have any on their website - but I'll go and have a look anyway.

Thanks again everyone!
