I put down "love them" for frozen, but probably should have said MCINL
because I only buy frozen "petit peas". Oh, well.

Most people I know don't buy peas one at at time.

Mais au Canada one sees des choise comme " Boef mais" for Corned Beef
so petits pois would not be unreasonable.

Big difference between 'petit pois' and 'petit point'

I had the same thought with canned. I don't like canned peas, except for Le
Seur canned baby peas (in the silver labeled can). I love those. With milk,
butter, salt & pepper.

I don't like the petit peas (frozen or otherwise).
I prefer the regular big peas. However I've noticed
the last couple of years that the regular frozen peas
are a lot smaller than they used to be, although not
nearly as small as the petits. I wonder why that is?

I also prefer the large fordhook limas to the baby
limas.

I'll do the petit peas (happily) frozen. I think the larger green peas tend
to have harder skins on them when they're frozen. As for limas, I'll only
use them cooked down in soup with chunks of smoked ham hocks, garlic,
celery, homemade stock, and minced onion. Doesn't matter with the size on
limas because when I make any kind of pea or lentil soup, I cook it down. I
prefer a smoother texture. It's all personal preference, right? :~)
