Batchelors Bigga Dried Peas - 250g

Great for traditional mushy peas, just like when I was brought up in Yorkshire.

As advertized

The type I really remember had a tablet (full of sodium--I presume) to dissolve with the dried peas.. and soak for a long period... then cook. Today in England that version is gone, too. This version however is far superior to canned.

good product

I've known about mushy peas for years and finally decided to try some. Time consuming but they were really tasty. I'll definitely make them again. They have to soak for 12 hours so I got up at 5 in the morning and poured boiling water on them so I could cook them with supper. Takes a good 30 minutes to cook too. The soda tablets are included which was nice. I thought they were bland on my first taste but after I added sugar, salt and butter it really brought them to life. I have a new friend in the UK and she says she only buys canned mushy peas. That would be nice so you don't have to wait all that time.

These dried peas cooked perfectly. Picking through them before soaking there were only a couple of peas that were consigned to the compost - very little waste.

The package was a bit bashed when it arrived but the contents were still intact. Would order again if necessary

The media could not be loaded. Waited a week for my order (which was delayed in transit) to arrive. Upon arrival, peas were spilling out and when package was opened, the boxes were crushed and non-refundable. Never even had the chance to enjoy. Terrible.
