I can tell that those of you that don't eat/like green peas did not grow up in a household like the one that I grew up in. Not liking something was never an option. As a matter of fact, Over time, I grew to like them. Split pea soup with ham is now one of my favorites.
We had options in our house. Stay at the dinner table until you finished it, have it for breakfast the next morning or go hungry. I quickly realized the last one was not an option for me.
