Butter fried cod fillet, steamed carrot and the first broad/ fava beans off my allotment
The broad beans are so delicious they’re like a whole different vegetable compared to the canteen/ school dinners version

So I’ve lots of fresh sugarsnaps (which are OK, but not really my bag) when I thought I’d be picking these lovely other things off the vine
My sis loves em - shame she lives 80 miles away
Ahh, we call those snow peas. It's funny the French word is "eat it all" because that also applies to the sugar snap peas we grow. I prefer them raw in a salad, pod and all. We actually say "English Pea" for the large variety that needs to be shucked. I imagine you might call them something different... maybe just "peas?"
When my sister and I were little, our mother would try to grow English peas, but when she sent us out to pick some for dinner, we would eat about half of them right off the vine. She would tease us about never having enough to cook for dinner, but I'm sure she was just happy that we enjoyed eating vegetables.

Yes, the ‘eating the whole thing’ thing had me fooled; as you say, it works for both
Turns out I’d never eaten sugarsnaps before. They’re just too sweet for my taste (I’m also not a fan of sun dried tomatoes for the same reason)
Just yer actual peas are sweet enough for me (and yes, just peas, lol)
We shell them :-)
Nice story from your childhood
It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!
Of course, we shelled them too! When we would bring the basket in to mom, half the pods were empty. "I wonder how that happened?"

Technically a drink, but making some jalapeño infused tequila.
I love jalapeños. And I like tequila. But I'm not sure I'd want the two mixed...Technically a drink, but making some jalapeño infused tequila.

You should give it a whirl. A nice spicy margarita.
If the peppers are really hot, 24 hours can be too much. I made 1.75L a while back for a French/Vietnamese drink. Took me about a year to finish it. LoL!
Another garden fusion. Homegrown avocado guacamole, homegrown beets and yellow squash grilled on skewers with some marinated shrimp, on a Greek-style salad (lettuce, feta, calamata olives, yogurt dressing). Looks a bit flat in the picture but tasted wonderful and fresh.

Had a revelation about bean sprouts in stir fry: don't cook em. Add them raw and cold on top after for a delicious fresh crunch a la water chestnuts (another personal fave). Give it a try.
