No way!
General Comments
With Whitworths Dried Marrowfat Peas costing 65p for a Kilogram (2.2lbs.) bag, this weight increases to almost 5lbs. after soaking overnight which makes the cost about 13p per pound. This is rock-bottom price for one of the most tasty and nutritious vegetables on the market. No tinned peas come close for taste leave alone price.
The Cream of Pea Soup recipe on the bag produces the most delectable concoction without too much effort but these peas, when boiled to a mushy state, really require the accompaniment of faggots. And I do mean faggots preferably made to a traditional Welsh recipe such as is exemplified in the Felinfoel area of South Wales.
For a homely, filling and gourmet meal try the peas, faggots, and a "gravy" made with an Oxo cube dissolved in about half a mug of boiling water. Don't thicken it as the peas will absorb almost all of it. A meal to remember, costing about 55p and fit for a king!
On average, people found this review very helpful

on 23rd Dec 2003Hello there cat1not2 - Merry Christmas.
Here, we eat ONLY those faggots with the peas so I have no sensible advice other than to try, say, Brains faggots or a similair brand which come pre-packed. You may like them.
I would love to send you some Felinfoel ones, but there will surely be import restrictions on such products and as these things have no added preservatives, they'd be poor travellers!jonathanwalker
on 11th Jul 2004Hello Bertie, I like frozen garden peas instead of the dried ones, the frozen range tastes much fresher than the dried. I Do Agree With You About The Faggots from the shop down the road, they are the best!

what a life saver...at last a dish that I can set before my pea-crazy kids. Any alternatives to faggots though, as I think the choice in Ireland is a little narrow and mail order does not appeal?
