We have TV ad showing here at the moment for frozen peas - where the
farmer picks the peas in the field (in broad sunshine) and then strides
over to a fence... and on the other side of said fence there is a
blizzard blowing... Then he says that they are "Flash frozen for
freshness". ;-)

Seems to work - they're the brand I usually buy <veg>
