It's worth giving everything a go once...

Today I’m mostly thinking of Mushy Peas! I honestly thought that a more vile looking and tasting substance did not exist…they look like, actually I can’t say what they look like as it’s too disgusting and not something I want to contemplate at this time in the morning but I think we all know what I mean…and the thought of eating them turns my usually iron stomach to a wibbling mess…

However I have been proved wrong…on a little excursion to Weymouth a few weeks ago I was very lucky to be treated to a chish and fips supper and was asked if I’d like the aforementioned Peas…I turned my nose up and grimaced which drew cries of ‘What you don’t like Mushy Peas???’ Yuk yuk yuk I said…anyway to cut the ensuing conversation short, I conceded, under duress, to at least try a teaspoonful… ‘I’m 30’ I thought… 'I might pass away tomorrow and I’ll never have tried mushy peas!’ and I have this weird mantra that I should try everything at least once…

So, out they come, sitting in separate bowl (a personal request as I couldn’t have them contaminating the lovely fish) and my spoon is placed, with trepidation & slight curiosity if I’m honest, into the green mush.

Oh how it looks like green lumpy frog sporn…and into the mouth they go…and do you know what? the strangest thing happened; the mushy, lumpy, slightly vinagrey peas hit my taste buds and I actually enjoyed them – the texture took a while to get over but the taste was really enjoyable!

So off I went and woofed down the whole bowl to myself – much to my families disgust and slight smugness. Mmm maybe I’ll try Ravioli next - my new top most revolting food….

Have a good day
