Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Caution, random question coming in:

For those of you (in the British Isles maybe) who eat a type of pea called mange-tout (French for “eat it all”), which of these do they look like? Trying to translate an English recipe 🙄:

Basically, are they flat or fat? Both are “eat it all”, but their flavor profiles are very different to me.

snow pea in US (flat):

snap pea or sugar snap pea in US (fat):

You’re a free-ranging forager!
I don't remember my paternal grandmother. She passed away when I was 18 months old. However, about a week before she died, she and I were out in her garden. I've been told there were lots of giggles. The proper way to eat peas is picking them in the garden, splitting open the pods, eating the peas and throwing the pods at someone else. I taught my younger siblings this. I can only surmise (my parents were not out with us) that the giggles were from throwing empty pea pods at my grandma.

Grazing in the garden is still the way to go. The only thing getting thrown is the pea pods.

Well I’m glad she taught you the right and proper way to eat peas!

Some of my best early childhood memories involve time spent in the garden with my great grandfather on my grandmothers side and my great grandmother on my grandfather's side.
