He calls them "po de soies"
I don't know why, maybe he can't pronounce Petits Pois
The best part of growing little peas is to stand in the row and eat till your heart's content.
The best way to harvest peas is to pull them out, all at once, and settle down to a contest of who can shell the most peas in the shortest amount of time.
I always win, by a landslide. I have had lots of practice. Sitting in a circle, old and young, in our little farm village, listening to the old women, telling stories of "how it used to be".
Not too far from the serious work sits a bottle of champagne, on ice.
Before they all go into the freezer a traditional meal of little peas and tuna in a bechamel sauce is served with a glass of champagne.
