    I agree, supermarket generics are fine. But then I don't eat them alone, I usually incorporate them into a dish (curry!) so would be unlikely to taste the difference between these and BE.

    By that reasoning, I should be buying the value range!

    I only ever cook peas until the water just boils. Not a second longer.

    Always Birds Eye petit Pois. I've tried all the others and it's like eating little green bullets. We eat a LOT of peas and I just stock up when they're on offer, which is most of the time in one of the big four supermarkets around me :D

    Birds Eye for me too. All the others seem hard compared to BE.
  • I like cannon balls. Grate in my shooter. But best mushy with chips and gravy, none of this soft southern muck like curry though.

    Posh Birds Eye for eating, any 'Value' for Chalfonts. 'Value' then 'gifted' to people I don't like.
    Never accept a present of frozen peas.

    I buy Iceland. They are cheap and just as good as Birds Eye (imho!) I love peas!

    I like Lidl and Co-Op. I'm another one who microwaves the peas instead of boiling them, I much prefer it. I adore peas but sadly my husband hates them :(

    Birds eye bullets!! no matter how long you cook them they are rock hard and tasteless.

    I always get tesco petit pois or garden peas if they have none of those.. I prefer the petit pois as they are sweeter and smaller .. and easier to get out of orifices they shouldn't be poked into!
