    Birds eye for me, I like them on their own or as a standby "home-made soup), a bit of bacon end and packet of peas = big pot of soup yummy.

    Any brand, but only petis pois unless i am making soup with them. We do not eat that many peas, even though we like them,as i thinkthey are overated in nutritional terms as a veg, so because we eat them less frequently than many i don't mind paying more for petis pois. I like my peas sweet and not cooked to death, just heated up and crunchy for me!
  • I'm another Costco fan here, great value and lovely tasty peas. They also come in a big bag so I only need to buy them once a month or so.

    It's not happening in Hull anymore, they moved production to the Grimsby Bird's Eye factory.

    It burned down a long time ago, about five years I think.

    Have to admit we don't eat frozen peas, always Batchelors Bigga tins. I am interested in possibly trying some though if they do Marrowfat ones. Hate garden peas with a passion.

    We have recently found Tesco's do a 'pea cake' type thing in the frozen aisle. You get four in a pack for a pound and they're just like breaded fishcakes but instead of fish inside there are peas.

    ASDA SmartPrice. 1kg = 93p. I've "downshifted" and, as far as I am concerned, a pea is a pea is a pea.

    and a pea is a pea is a pea.

    They may all be round & green, but they are not all alike as peas in a pod for taste :D

    Birds Eye for me, tried all the other bullets over time
    Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens
  • Aldi 900g Petit Pois for 97p. Yummy!

    I much prefer petit pois, any supermarket brand is fine with me. I do sometimes buy supermarkets own garden peas and they're okay but not as nice as Birds Eye. I bought some value frozen peas once and they were like bullets, I wouldn't buy those again.
