I don't know - it's getting quite depressing that every time I have a look at the board I'm the last one who posted!

I honestly dont know - I like normal peas but I cant stand mushy peas - it must be something added to the peasy goodness to turn them to the darkside.


Lemon curd though is brilliant!

OK so i absolutely LOVE mushy peas (altho the after-effect isn't always pleasant ).. and don't like lemon curd.. we're going to have to find a common ground.. who likes bread?
