Vegetables and How I Cook Them: Peas

It feels like sacrilege to say, but I don’t really like peas. I find them frustrating. Except for the shelled and frozen ones, which are incredibly consistent.

I have no feelings at all about snow peas. I’ll eat them. I don’t get excited about them. I like them stir-fried, but I almost never stir-fry myself, and so I rely on others to feed me snow peas. It’s fine.

To me, snap peas are the worst. They look so good, they are so picturesque, and sometimes they taste amazing. Other times they are starchy and tough and the string gets caught in my teeth despite having already been stringed once. I truly can’t be bothered.
