Ode to peas
Whatever else on land or seas, could measure up to frozen peas? Available the whole year through delectable and good for you. Inside their vibrant emerald skins they’re packed with wholesome vitamins. And fibre too! What else can beat a veg that even kids will eat?
Unlike the hapless lover who may not be always there for you your frozen peas, reliably, are there for supper, lunch and tea, Inside their plastic bag concealed as fresh as when they left the field, They bring a breath of summer air to seasons when the trees are bare.
And think of all the time they save – Three minutes in the microwave is all they need to reach the state that makes them perfect for the plate; So soft and tender, sweet in taste and not the smallest scrap of waste, They really are an easy way to help you get your five a day.
But like the bridesmaid to the bride don’t always keep them to the side. Ambitious cooks let frozen peas play starring roles in kedgerees, In winter, when their spirits droop they serve them with smoked ham in soup, or in risottos, crushed with fish, they play their part in any dish.
Yes, flavoursome food of the gods, as fresh and when they left their pods, Let’s raise our glasses, give a cheer for food that serves us well all year, But would you just remember please That if you’re served with frozen peas and want a long and happy life - Don’t ever eat them off your knife!
