I'm with Micca......Although I will eat them out of politeness, there is nothing you can do with a pea that's going to make it worth a damn. when I eat them at all, I prefer them whole and undercooked since I can swallow them without chewing the mushy little bastards. A friend recently served up a split pea soup that I remarked on as being quite good. She then told me it was "Split Pea" and I asked what the recipe was. As I expected, by the time all the other stuff was added, the peas were less than 10% of the recipe!!! I tried the same recipe using corn, just for laughs, and it was better!

And HEY FOLKS.....We will deep fry anything here in the states. Can you eat it? If so, batter it up and THROW IT IN THE FAT!!! My current favorite is deep fried pickles. The Bananas and Ice Cream are both interesting too.
