Re: moshy peas
Hi Moose, Sateeb is right, of course, but mushy peas is pretty much what it says on the can - a mushy green mishmash of squished up dried peas in water and some flavouring.
This photo makes a nonsense of all the fish & chip threads on here. Nothing like it in Thailand. Unless, of course, you were referring to the kosher version, Moishe peas.

It's one of those things that people like because they were brought up with it but isn't exactly 'haute cuisine'. It's dried peas soaked overnight and then boiled into a pulp and if you don't already like them, I wouldn't bother trying it!moose 961 wrote:sorry, can someone explain this food for me.

How does he know if he likes them unless he tries?

Whenever I hear of Mushy Peas it reminds me of the story about Peter Mandelson the Labour Politician. He was campaigning in Yorkshire in the North of England and went into a fish and chip shop in an attempt to look like he was brought up at grass roots level. He ordered Cod and Chips and then pointed to the Mushy Peas and said, "Oh, could I also have some of that guacamole please"!

Re: moshy peas
I remember as a child in the UK, working class mothers produced tasty meals for very little money--imaginative often lengthy cooking methods were used.
Oxtail, breast of lamb, scrag end of beef--all requiring hours of preparation and cooking.
These skills that have almost been lost and paradoxically the only place you can get those dishes now are in expensive restauarnts.
Bead and butter pudding is another good example--it was used by mothers to use bread that had gone off, even mouldy, but could not be thrown away-Now it is Haute cuisine.

This is probably why you don't see a slew of British restaurants abroad, as you do with Italian, Chinese, Thai etc...
Our cuisine is somewhat an 'aquired' taste (to put it politely!)

Re: moshy peas
Ideally mushy peas should accompany a hot meat pie from the market in Hull or Nottingham and be adorned with gravy and mint sauce
Used to go down a treat on my Saturday nights out as a lad in Hull. Best drainpipe jeans on . pie and mushies washed down with 4 pints of bitter in a rough bar in Hull docklands and then off to 'Locarno ballroom' to pull a bint. All on 50p. Now guess my age?

Re: moshy peas
Barry's Victoria 2 chippy on Soi 80 does mushy peas, 30 Baht a carton. Can't vouch whether they are good or bad as personally I think mushy peas taste disgusting.

10 shillings...........in the days of pounds, shillings, pence and farthings not to mention crowns, ten bob notes, threepenny bits and halfpennies

Barrys are good.......he soaks em overnight and is very particular about how they turn out. One day a customer left them and I left a few of mine and he knocked 25% off our bills. Proud man who gives excellent food in my book

Re: moshy peas
Good mushies can not be bought in a tin. Dried peas should be soaked overnight and not be liquidised. Round peas should still be visible
