What do you not eat that therefore makes you "weird"?

This is what the good lord gave us chocolate covered coffee beans for.

Ah yes - I can't abide instant coffee; it isn't coffee, it doesn't taste like coffee.

That's why I usually just ask for water when I'm offered refreshments as most folk can't make tea or coffee (or use instant) the way I like it.

.... yeh, but if you're feeling a bit fuzzy then pouring a stick of it into your gob, a quick mouthful of water, swoosh about and swallow, kinda gets you getting on again. .

Ranger coffee = stick of instant coffe + satchet of coffee whitener in the mouth. Followed by some water, roll around in th mouth and swallow.

I love (green) peas, so was very disappointed with just how yucky mushy peas tasted first time I tried it. Was quite relieved when I eventually found out that mushy peas aren't made from green peas. Still avoid it though.

Oh no, you don't have 'garden' peas with your fish and chips do you?

I do.

We have mange tout with ours because we're posh. (Actually because they're easier to grow, I can recommend 'Bijou' from Real Seeds with its 6-7" pods).

Or you get a luck warm milky drink that’s supposed to be tea.

Tend to go with curry sauce, if they have the one DH considers the ”proper” one. Don’t mind garden peas with fish and chips though.

But that might be from being used to green peas being served with (simmered) fish, boiled potatoes and a sauce. Although, to be honest, I have green peas with a lot of things.

Not a clue what they are...now I'm concerned...
I quite like them haha

 

[Broch]

I thought marrowfat peas were just normal peas (Pisum sativum) that had been allowed to mature beyond the 'juicy' state on the plant - i.e. had gone dry like broad beans (oh, yeh, whilst on the subject, I hate those ).

However, I may be wrong

I think you’re right, but different varieties are used for marrowfat peas and garden peas, respectively. But I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can chime in with more info.

Ugh, broad beans... grim! Mum used to make them to go along with various meals and I've never liked them...

I love fresh broad beans raw straight off the plant. Could also happily eat them cooked a few times a week.
