Oh, gawd.... I can relate to that! I didn't like peas (and my
grandfather had a garden, so he grew them) until I was an adult. I
finally figured out that it was a combination of "mature pea" and over
cooking that turned me off. Of course, Mom just opened a can so you
know what she did to it. After I moved to California, I discovered
frozen petit peas and I've liked them ever since. In fact they are a
staple in my freezer to date.
