But we gain as well as lose with progress. There has been a great revival in the last few years in the UK of traditional, quality made craft foods which is great to see.

I can't believe a thread about mushy peas has reached 100 posts. It doesn't deserve it.

OK, NOW I know what mushy peas are. But, hey, I still like the thick split pea soup recipe. One question, though, about mushy peas. Why is such an unappetizing word as "mushy" used for them? Or does that word have a different ring to it in the UK when applied to this dish?

No. An unappetizing word is used because they are completeley unappetizing. They look and taste horrible. If you can imagine what a bunch of dried peas, boiled and mushed would look like, that's it. The word is well chosen, trust me.
