Frozen Peas?!?

I haven't bought frozen peas in a while and I was eating some for a
snack when Tony comes up to my bowl and starts munching down.  Frozen
peas?  What self respecting cat likes peas when they are frozen?  I
mean, I know I like them, but him?  He must have eaten 20 of them.  I
guess I save on cat food tonight.

Bridget,

I guess cat's can have unexpected things that they like to eat!
(Although, maybe it's like kids.. if they see us enjoying something,
they'll try it.)  Siega always gets a little treat of a few bits of
spaghetti, when we make it for dinner.

 Rexie loves peas, frozen or cooked. I think he originally liked them
frozen cause he could filch them off the plate and roll them around.
Then he discovered you could actually eat them!

Heidi prefers them raw.  She wants to roll them around and chase
them a while before she eats them.  They're even more satisfying
than kibbles in that way.

The raw shelled beans were fun to chase, but she didn't eat
them.

Ours sure wouldn't.  At Thanksgiving and Christmas, Charlie always makes up
a dinner dish for each pet.  Turkey, potatoes, gravy, dressing, and peas.
And the cats always spit out the peas.  Usually in a neat little row.

You like frozen peas as a snack?  I'll bet you'd like
"Snapea Crisps", too!  (They're a crispy snack made from
whole pea pods - baked, I think - very good, and very
unusual.)  I can't remember the manufacturer's name (might
be Calbee) but it's a well-known one, and Trader Joe's
carrys them.

I never thought to give peas to my kids.  They love corn, though.

Why?  They're perfectly good food.  Not much different from
eating fresh ones raw from the pod, and a lot of people do
that.  Uncooked frozen corn, too - in fact I once had a
salad recipe that called for frozen corn, straight from the
package.  (Although IIRC, you did let it thaw before serving
it.)

I know they're perfectly good food, I just can't imagine eating them
before defrosting and/or cooking them.  I think I must have
misunderstood, you didn't mean you eat them while they're still frozen
did you?

I don't know about Evelyn, but for me, yes, I do eat them while they
are still frozen.  I think they're good and refreshing on a hot day
for a snack.  I eat frozen peas and I respect myself.

Well I think I'm going to have to try them one hot day (if we get any
more this year) and see for myself!  I am always open to new taste
sensations, having reached 46 and only just discovered pepper on
strawberries, mmm, and chips with curry sauce - my comfort food de jour.

Pepper on strawberries?  Really?  I can see the chips with
curry..........but pepper on strawberries?

Curry sauce?  Chips?  Sounds delightful to me. I love curry.
Do you buy the sauce, or make it?  Can I get a recipe?

It's not actually a curry with sauce, it's actually sort of a curry
flavoured sauce, kind of like a thick spicy gravy.  You get it in fish
& chip shops or Chinese takeaways, I've never seen a recipe for it or
tried to make it as it's only about 80p for a big container, that you
pour over your fries (chips) - I absolutely love it, it's not really
hot spicy, if you ever get a chinese curry it's similar to that.

If I see a recipe I'll let you know.

My grandmother used to put salt and pepper on fresh cantaloupe.

I've heard of it on cantaloupe before but never on strawberries.  I'll have
to try it.

It brings out the flavour, I used to have an auntie that used to put
sugar AND salt in her black coffee as she said it brought out the
flavour.

A lot of people put salt in the grounds when they're making
coffee.  I think it's supposed to cut the "bitterness", but
since most American coffee is not strong and bitter ENOUGH,
so far as I'm concerned, I've never done that.

Of course!  How else?  (Chacun a son gout.)

Well I tried a frozen pea tonight but I still prefer mine boiled with
some fresh mint and butter but it's good to try new things (once!)

Have a good and safe weekend folks, I'm off up north to see my sis
before she heads back to Australia (I hate this part of her trips,
saying goodbye and knowing it's another year before I see her again) -
it's so horrid for my folks too, they're 81 and 83 and I can't bear to
see them when she goes, not knowing if they'll ever see her again.

Huh?  Frozen peas are awesome!  So are frozen beans and frozen soy
beans (edamame).  Why would they give you a stomach ache?  It's no
different from eating ice cream.
