It's cold and dark at Strammy Towers and the wind is terrible...
 
The weather's not too good either.
 
Now, after his long day badger-tickling and fox-wolfing down in the lower fields, I've given Jeeves the evening off to visit his dear old mother in the local asylum (to whence I had her certified last year for stealing an ant from the top field).
 
Anywho, all this means that I'm cooking for myself this evening.
 
Sadly the rain has turned the croquette lawn into a quagmire so instead of eating Al Capone I'll be taking tea in the studio. 
 
Obviously I haven't got a clue how to cook the stuff Jeeves comes up with so I've settled on fish fingers, mashed potato and mushy peas.
 
Which leads me to the question - when you have mushy peas, how do you 'source' them:

1. From a can
2. Frozen variety
3. Make 'em yourself

My dear Grandma used to make her own and they were delicious, although a little time consuming to make.
 
Any input would be gratefully received.
 
 
 

The only pees I do is in the terlit.
 

I think mushy peas come fresh from a frozen can. They can be composed into mush once you thaw the can, and then run them over with a toy train driven by an engineer who moonlights as a musician.

That how my nana used to do it I think.

I have the solution Steve.

Get some spuds boiling for the mash
Put the oven on and get the fish fingers a-cookin'
Leg it to the chip shop (you only got 20 mins, so don't stop in The Bombardier's Palace for the quick one), order pie, chips and mushy peas.
Leg it home, sharpish
Lightly toss the pie & chips into next doors garden
Serve with a garnish of thick-sliced white bread

Mmm!

My upper-class acquaintances refer to it as the 'crepper' or the 'shet-hice'

Inspired Shad, you've become a fully fledged mushician

Ok, but what are these mushy peas and where can I get some?

The perfect recipe Ian!
 
I'd take it one step further though - I'll throw the frozen fish fingers and the unpeeled spuds at next door's cats, make certain I spend a few hours in the pub, then order the meal from the chippy
 
I'll bet a can of Batchelors is another thing you miss out there?

Beag, these are peas which are.... er.. um.......... mushy
 
Normally ordered as a side dish with cod & chips from the local chippy or as a perfect accompaniment to faggots and mash, a real delicacy:
 
 

 
 

holy guacamole, batman!  I think that looks more like what space cowboy's parrot wouldn't eat!!!
