MUSHY PEAS
So here is the story behind me and mushy peas. I love peas, but I don't like mushy peas (like the kind that come out of a can mushy, not like this recipe mushy), so when I read about mushy peas and fish and chips, my curiosity was piqued -- the description sounded good. So of course I went in search of a recipe. I have no looked back! This is so good! I eat it when we have real fish and chips and when we have grilled fish and sweet potato chips! It is also a great side for pork chops or potroast in place of the mashed potatoes! I found this on allrecipes.com sometime back in 2008. Very good!

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the peas in a large bowl or stockpot; they need plenty of room to expand. Add the baking soda and cover with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the baking soda dissolves.
- Let the peas soak for a minimum of 12 hours.
- Drain and rinse the peas well in a colander, then transfer them to a large pot.
- Cover the peas with cold water (about 2 cups) and bring them to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer the peas uncovered for approximately 30 minutes or until they soften and turn mushy.
- Season the peas with salt and pepper to taste. Add the optional sugar if you prefer them slightly sweeter, heavy cream or milk to give them a fluffier texture, or butter for flavor. You can also smash them with a fork for a smoother texture, or run them through the food processor if you prefer a puree.
- Serve the mushy peas hot with fish and chips or a tasty meat pie. Enjoy.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH MUSHY PEAS
Mushy peas are the traditional accompaniment to authentic British fish and chips. In the UK they would be traditionally made using marrowfat peas, but this version uses much more readily available dried split green peas.

Steps:
- Put the split green peas in a large pot with the baking soda and enough water to cover the peas four times over. Cover and allow to rehydrate in the fridge overnight.
- Drain the peas in a colander and rinse with cold water to remove any lingering baking soda.
- Return the peas to the pan and cover with cold water by 1/2-inch. Add some salt, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. During the simmering, discard any pea foam that forms on top using a slotted spoon. The peas are done cooking once they just lose their bite, 30 to 40 minutes. Overcooking results in soup, which isn't what we're going for.
- Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir to fully incorporate. Taste and add more salt if required.
- Serve immediately with fish and chips, or cool and store for up to 3 days.
