Hey, McGrath:

Creamed peas were made with a can of peas, heated in milk in a pot, and then poured over the toast. While they were called creamed peas, I think they were as often as not Milked peas. When I was a kid, the milk man delivered our milk in bottles and it wasn't homogenized. The cream would rise to the top, and in the winter, the cap would be sitting of a pillar of frozen cream when we'd go out on the porch to bring the bottles in.
