Batchelors Mushy Peas can be served alone or traditionally in the North of England with Fish and Chips. They are called "Mushy Peas" because they are "Mushy" when served. They make an excellent side dish not only with Fish & Chips, but also with any beef or chicken dish. Mushy Peas can also be made into an excellent thick Pea Soup. For added flavor serve the Peas with a little mint sauce.
