I've found them on Tesco's website. "Currently unavailable".

Try a couple of faggots (proper "home made" ones from a butcher, my local one does them for just 40p each, the size of a cricket ball, not a certain well-known make of "liver & onion meatballs"), onion gravy, mashed potatoes and mushy peas.

The 6p ones from Tesco are very nice. No mint.

Just tried this and it was really nice, thanks.

Would also appreciate a recipe for using them as a base for soup as was mentioned earlier in the thread, if anybody has one.

We are here to serve ...

PEA SOUP

Makes 2 x 250ml servings

INGREDIENTS

250g of peas
1 vegetable stock cube
500ml of water

METHOD

If you are using dried peas, soak them in water according to the instructions on the box. If you are using tinned peas, open the tin and drain off the water.

Put the peas, stock cube and waterinto a saucepan on a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling (simmering).

Put the lid on the saucepan and continue cooking until the peas are soft. Check the liquid level from time to time and top up if it starts to dry out.

If you have a food processor, put the soup in it and blend it to the desired consistency. If you have a hand blender, put it in the soup and blend it to the desired consistency. If you don’t have a food processor or hand blender, use a potato masher, press the soup through a sieve with the back of a spoon, or leave it lumpy. If you used a food processor, rinse out the saucepan and put the soup back into the saucepan.

Put the saucepan on a low heat and reheat the soup gently.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

You can use dried, fresh, frozen or tinned peas, either on their own or in any combination. Dried peas need to be soaked in advance. Tinned garden and marrowfat peas come in water and the drained weight of a 300g tin of peas is 185g, so use two tins and 750ml of water and make 3 servings.

You can also make this as pea & ham, using the cooking water from a boiled ham joint.

TIPS

Pea soup can be any consistency from a thin liquid with soft peas floating in it to a thick paste you can stand the spoon up in.

HISTORICAL NOTES

Pea soup was very popular in the poorer parts of Victorian London and was known as “London Particular”. It was easy to make, cheap, filling and also difficult to adulterate. And, of course, it gave its name to the “pea-soupers”, the thick yellow-green fogs (or, more correctly, smogs) caused by the burning of sulphurous coal.

The Asda ones I bought were a mixture of green peas and chickpeas and they had a bit of mint in them.

No mention of chickpeas (they're actually garbanzo beans) or mint (unless it's the "flavouring") in the ingredient list.
