benjamin1945 16,158 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 yes most supermarkets still stock Batchelors dwarf Peas,and the fav.in NOTTINGHAM was always their Marrowfat Bigga Peas. We sold them loose from sacks by the pound with a free Seeper,...........the wife who is a southerner reckons we are Dirty buggers in Notts for our love of Mushy PEAS,.......LOL.

EileenH 496 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 #3111 This brought back memories! Mam coming back downstairs at night in nightie and curlers saying, 'Forgot to soak me peas!' 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I remember when my gran did the peas, she always used to put a big tablet of bicarb in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,158 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Think that what was the 'seeper' was TBI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Cheers for that, benjamin. When my missus does the peas though, she never adds anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Going back to the margarine for a minute: When I was a kid we used to have "Butter" and "Best butter". Butter was Stork margarine and Best butter was real butter - only for special occasions though. When in the RAF the guard duty was an overnight affair based in the guard room. For early breakfast we had to cook in the guard room itself and we were always supplied with eggs, bacon and sausages by the catering flight and the frying medium was always Echo margarine - yeuch!
