Not the big green frozen kind you mention. Never liked those. I like these mushy ones, more of an olive green, sort of taste like asparagus.

We've been eating our peas for 40+ years now. So many of us have been slaving at our jobs, mistreated by leftists who hate us, paying taxes and continuing to endure corruption from the President, members of Congress (BOTH parties), Federal officials across all agencies, State officials across all agencies and local officials. In the meantime, we drive by house after house occupied by those who are provided food, clothing, transportation, education and healthcare at our expense and fill their shopping carts with all of the fine foods we long to eat checking out in front of us at the grocery store. We see many of those same individuals working for cash on the side to hide income giving them the good life while those of us who try to do what is right suffer horribly.
And then Obama says it's time to eat our peas? It might have been more truthful for him to have said, "Let them eat cake!"
Words do not exist in any language to describe our rage except the script of those enslaved in history who managed to pen their thoughts on paper before being eliminated. We are living in evil times is the understatement of the year. The cycle of history continues.
No politician of any party can make a statement like that without being completely and appallingly detached from the American people and the issues.
A good bumper sticker for 2012:
Dear Leader’s answer to the overburdened taxpayer: Let Them Eat Peas!
It would seem that we now need a Pea Party. Let’s dump peas into the Potomac.
Tine for nobama to resign, more likely.
Remember, Citizen...
nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America. nobama is the Destroyer.
Everything nobama does is intentional.
God help us all.
First, I like peas. Second, peas are more of a starch than anything else, so it really makes no sense to try to make kids eat peas. If you want to make them eat a green vegetable, it should be something more nutritious and less starchy, like green beans or broccoli. Third, FUBO.

Our dragons love the big green frozen peas. I tried to grow peas in the garden this year, but the cats dug them up. Also the carrots. Maybe next year ...

Barry - eat your own peas, bite it.
As I was reading your post, the taste of those peas, the ones in the foil TV dinner hit me, I could, for a brief instant remember their taste, and yes, they were great.
I also, for some strange reason, liked the sliced carrots in those foil TV dinners, but I abhor eating carrots now.
TV dinners were very exciting to us as a kid, perhaps that was the appeal, they were a treat, or so it seemed as a kid, we had them very infrequently, but when we did, it was like a mini-holiday dinner for my siblings and I.
Now, they are just gross.
Mmmm..TV dinners. Didn’t you love the Salisbury Steak with the mashed potatoes, gravy and peas. There was always a little dessert of some type - cherry cobbler or such. Loved those and also loved the frozen chicken pot pies.
Wouldn’t touch the stuff now.
Just eating your peas Michelle?

lol, yes, the tiny drumsticks! and the potatoes always had a cold center with boilin hot butter substance on the top!
Oh, and the cranberry compode (or whatever it was) would always have a few stray peas in it when you peeled back the foil!
The chicken was horribly soggy, but was such a treat for some unknown reason. And yes, my mom could fix much better, but I think it was the novelty of it at the time. We were dirt poor, but for some reason, that shiny tray made me and my siblings feel like we were living large!
Also, after being washed out, it was not uncommon for us boys to make robot masks out of the foil tray and run around the yard with our home made lazer beam guns (usually just tinker toys or erector set creations).
The last good frozen pot pie I had was years ago, it was a Mrs’s something. It had such large chunks of white meat in it, and it was big enough for the wife and I (this was 15 years ago I bet). Well, a couple of years ago, we saw what we thought was the same brand, it looked the same, it was a “Mrs’s” something or another, so we got a few. They were horrible. There was very little meat, the crust was nasty, and then we looked at the box and they were owned by some big company (guessing Kraft or something). Not sure if they were bought out, or we just got a brand we though was the same, but we don’t do the frozen ones after that.
