>>Peas are great even cooked, as long as they keep their color and resist chewing at least a little. The pea pureé, i.e. any recipe that calls them to be mashed, is actually still on my "no I don't eat that" list. I forgot to mention it simply because it didn't come up for decades (just like the downright awful just-old-overboiled-carrots-entree with which they tortured us in the kindergarten).
