Pea soup sandwiches? Mind boggles. I bet they were "mushy pea"
sandwiches. Still, not the way to eat peas.

I dislike peas immensely. When I was a child, I would sort them off my
plate, one at a time, and hide them under the edge of the plate. That only
worked once...guess what happened when my mom cleared the table. LOL.
Even now, if I buy a frozen Stouffers entree with peas, I pick them out and
don't eat them.

However, I love split pea soup...if it has a smooth texture. If I buy a can of
commercially prepared stuff, or a container from a deli, I take my stick
blender to it so I don't have any "pea lumps."
